Seattle Medical Post Acute Care

Located in Seattle's vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood at 555 16th Avenue, Seattle Medical Post Acute Care delivers expert skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation services in one of the city's most medically connected communities. Operated by Empres under the Evergreen management family, this facility reflects a commitment to compassionate, clinically rigorous care for patients transitioning from hospital to home. The Capitol Hill address places residents steps from Swedish Medical Center's Cherry Hill Campus on 17th Avenue — one of Seattle's premier regional medical centers — and within minutes of Harborview Medical Center, the region's only Level I trauma center and a University of Washington teaching hospital. This proximity ensures seamless care coordination and rapid specialist access when it matters most. Capitol Hill is one of Seattle's most walkable and culturally rich neighborhoods. Families visiting loved ones will find an abundance of cafes and restaurants along Broadway and the Pike/Pine corridor, from neighborhood institutions like Oddfellows Café to the iconic Elliott Bay Book Company nearby. Cal Anderson Park, a beloved green space featuring a reflecting pool and open lawns, sits just blocks away — offering a peaceful outdoor setting ideal for patients beginning their recovery journey. Volunteer Park, home to the Seattle Asian Art Museum and a historic water tower with sweeping city views, is a short drive north. The Capitol Hill Link light rail station connects visiting families from across the greater Seattle area with ease, making regular visits simple regardless of where family members are coming from. At Seattle Medical Post Acute Care, the dedicated clinical team — supported by Empres's deep operational expertise — focuses on individualized recovery plans, physical and occupational therapy, and 24-hour skilled nursing oversight. Whether recovering from surgery, stroke, or a complex medical event, residents receive the attentive, expert care needed to regain independence and return home with confidence.
