Overall Review of Burien Nursing And Rehabilitation Center
caveat10 reviews mention this
Care response times raise concerns
Several reviewers say call-light and hands-on help can take too long.
A recurring concern is that help is delayed when residents press for assistance. Multiple reviewers describe being left waiting for cleaning, turning, or getting help after a call button request, and some add that care decisions felt inconsistent with what was requested or prescribed. One reviewer also describes real emergencies not being addressed quickly enough, which added urgency to their negative experience.

Hygiene and odors come up
Some residents report hygiene breakdowns, unpleasant odors, or visibly dirty rooms.
Several reviews describe problems with cleanliness, including strong odors and residents being left in urine or feces for extended periods. Others mention shower areas or rooms that did not look well kept. On the positive side, some families say rooms stayed clean and residents were kept clean, but the negative hygiene stories are frequent enough to be a clear theme.

Therapy progress is a highlight
Physical and occupational therapy receives repeat praise from families.
Many positive reviews mention therapy as a meaningful part of recovery, with residents and families describing gains in walking or regaining function. Several reviewers specifically call out physical therapy and occupational therapy, including a team approach involving PT and OT. While there are also negative comments about not receiving therapy as expected, the therapy success stories show up often in the reviews.

Dining support is mixed
Dining experience varies, with both diet accommodation and food complaints.
Some reviewers say meals helped recovery, and others mention efforts to accommodate preferences. At the same time, multiple reviews complain about food quality or dietary fit, including concerns about diabetes-related friendliness and nutrition. The community offers restaurant-style dining and diet-focused services like diabetes diet and special dietary restrictions, which aligns with why dining becomes an important part of the conversation in reviews.

Staff warmth is often noted
Many reviewers describe staff who are friendly, caring, and responsive.
A large portion of reviews are positive about staff demeanorāfamilies describe being helped promptly with needs, staff being friendly, and caregivers and nurses taking time with questions. Several reviewers also mention cleanliness and supportive social work or ancillary teams as part of that overall experience. However, there are also strongly negative reviews that criticize staff attitude and medical support, so the friendliness theme appears alongside serious service complaints.
