We welcome your visit or phone call as you begin planning for care after an illness or injury. Our Transitional Care Unit is designed for those patients coming directly out of a hospital who require skilled nursing care, end of life care, or rehabilitation to recover and recuperate.

We encourage all prospective residents and patients and their families to come for a tour. It's the best way to get to know us and see what we do.

Unscheduled visits for tours are welcome during regular business hours, but please allow extra time as there may be a wait.

If you are unable to come by for an in-person tour we invite you to take a virtual tour from the comfort of your computer or tablet.

If you prefer, please call for assistance in answering your important questions so that we can help you to better understand our services, evaluate your specific needs, and recommend an appropriate level of care. You can reach our Admissions office at 360-493-4908.

At Providence Mother Joseph Care Center we know that promoting a healthy sense of self-esteem through mental and emotional stimulation is as important as physical well-being. To benefit the “whole” person, we offer many special services and amenities.

Our newly renovated building, thanks in part through charitable gifts to our foundation, has a reassuringly homelike feeling and offers ease of access and movement. Bay windows in resident rooms provide personal space for an assortment of keepsakes from home. Our two beautifully landscaped outdoor courtyards offer charming gazebos, picnic tables and raised gardening beds. We have a welcoming living room and cozy library that provide communal space for our residents to relax or visit with guests.

Leisure and recreational programs are designed by our Activities Department to improve functional abilities related to physical skills and personal knowledge goals. These programs also give our residents and staff a chance to be creative and provide a fun and cheerful atmosphere. Residents and patients enjoy weekly activities such as BINGO, baking, and arts and crafts. We offer regularly scheduled outings for shopping trips, dining out for lunch, going to the movies, or a day at the casino. We also have special seasonal outings like Seattle Mariners games, Music in the Park, ferry rides to Vashon Island, or Seniors Day at the Western Washington Fair. All patients, residents and family members are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Our Social Services Department assists residents and families in addressing many needs, including mental health, financial adjustment and facility concerns, discharge planning and related issues. The social workers are knowledgeable about community services and will provide information and referrals as needed.

Spiritual Care Services are provided to serve residents, families and staff who desire spiritual support, counseling and religious programs and study. People of all faiths are welcome at Providence Mother Joseph Care Center. Regularly scheduled services including Roman Catholic Mass, are offered in our Chapel, which is open and accessible to our residents, staff and family members day and night.

• Take a virtual tour of the Chapel
• View our spiritual care calendar for more information about monthly planned activities.

Our Dining Services Program meets the nutritional, therapeutic, social and special dietary requirements of each individual in our care. We encourage residents to enjoy meals in one of our dining rooms. This is a great way to meet other residents and engage in some social activities. Our staff is committed to excellence in food quality, service, and customer satisfaction. Our current menu has a wide variety of choices and incorporates seasonal vegetables and fruits. In addition to our great Kitchen team, we also have a full time Registered Dietician and a Diet Tech who will work with you to address your nutritional and dietary needs.

Additional services and amenities include a full service Beauty & Barber Shop, cable service, video/DVD library, computer access, free WiFi internet service, Nintendo® Wii™ gaming system, private telephone line, easy access to public transportation, and convenient location close to area hospitals and medical clinics.

Above all, Providence Mother Joseph Care Center respects each individual’s right to self-determination. We encourage participation in the “Plan of Care.” You will find the Resident’s Bill of Rights posted throughout our facility. A written copy is provided to all residents at the time of admission.

Providence Mother Joseph Care Center does not exclude, deny benefits to, or otherwise discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, or age in admission to, participation in, or receipt of the services and benefits under any of its programs and activities.

Since 1995, donors have been making a tangible difference in the lives of Mother Joseph residents. Patient care services, health education and vital equipment purchases have all been made possible through gifts to the Providence St. Peter Foundation.

Specific areas of support include enhancing the experience of residents and their family members and also providing assistance for continuing education for the staff. Through the compassion and investment from donors, Providence Mother Joseph Care Center maintains an exceptional level of care from a staff deeply committed to the Mission of Providence.
