About Nursing Home Care in Washington
When it comes to nursing home care in Washington, PA, families should be cautious. The standout is Southmont of Presbyterian SeniorCare, which boasts a solid Grade B rating and a 4-star CMS score. However, with only two of the four facilities meeting acceptable standards, the options are somewhat limited, making this a concerning market overall for families seeking quality care.
In addition to Southmont of Presbyterian SeniorCare, families might consider Washington County Health Center, which has a decent reputation for being well-staffed and maintaining a clean record with zero fines in the past three years. Unfortunately, the lack of standout facilities in this area means that families might need to explore options in nearby cities for better care.
On the flip side, it's crucial to avoid Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing at Washington, which has a troubling Grade F rating and has faced serious issues in the past. Their record raises red flags, making it a facility you should skip entirely. When visiting any facility, always ask to see their inspection reports and speak with current residents and their families to get a firsthand account of the care provided.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing

- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions

Ownership: Mix of For-Profit and Non-Profit
