Here is what state inspectors and payroll records say about Alderwood Post Acute & Rehabilitation, from the September 2026 CMS release, the current one. CMS publishes a new release about once a month and we load it the night it appears. Under each part of the record is a question worth asking the facility.

nursing hours on weekends than weekdays · state median 9% fewer
Source: CMS Payroll-Based Journal, 2026Q1, 90 reported days. Facilities report these hours to CMS from payroll and other auditable records every quarter. Hours are not adjusted for how much care residents need; a rehabilitation-heavy building needs more. Most facilities staff lower on weekends. Ask who the nurse in the building is on a Saturday night, and how many aides are on the unit.
In the Full Report: the deep staffing breakdown, registered-nurse hours, agency-staff reliance, any days with zero RN coverage, and annual turnover.
4 enforcement actions, totaling $190,519 in fines. A fine is tied to a specific inspection and date, and some are years old. Ask what it was for and whether it is resolved.
In the Full Report: each penalty itemized with its date, type, and amount.
