Mt Baker Care Center

I am an RN BSN and am extremely disappointed in the quality of nursing knowledge of many of the RN's employed here, and of the lack of nutritionist oversight of the kitchen. My mother was here for rehab after an extensive open heart surgery. The physical therapy is wonderful, the food is extremely unhealthy high fat, low fiber fare. The dietary staff and nursing staff need to be educated on healthy diet. Low salt diet just means no salt provided on the tray. The food is loaded with salt and unhealthy fats. Nursing staff does not know what heart healthy diet is. We were told by an RN that bacon and sausage are perfectly OK to eat once a week on heart healthy diet. All one needs to do is check the American Heart Association web site to see that this is not a reality. Sandwiches made with white bread and prepared lunch meats are frequently provided. Both are loaded with salt and unhealthy fats. I wonder if the kitchen staff ever tastes the food they serve. It was all highly seasoned with pepper and salt. Until changes are made I would not recommend this facility for post hospital rehab.

Loved the Valentines Day activities :)
