Columbia Lutheran Home Description
On the same city block for the past century, Columbia Lutheran Home has practiced innovative, compassionate care guided by our Founder’s holistic approach and mission to provide care for the whole person ~ body, mind, and spirit. Our Home remains one of the longest standalone Not-for-Profit nursing homes in the Pacific NW. We invite you to learn more about Columbia and how we became one of Seattle’s most admired 5-star skilled nursing facilities for short term Transitional Care, Rehabilitation, and Long Term Elder Care.
Columbia has practiced holistic care since 1920. We strive to remain one of the best teaching facilities in the nation as well as a successful nonprofit. Delivering the highest standards of care with dignity and respect is an essential part of our mission. And as a not-for-profit, we pride ourselves on making decisions based on our commitment to excellence rather than protecting a bottom line. We welcome everyone regardless of religion, orientation or ability to pay. We believe everyone deserves excellent care in a cheerful and peaceful environment.
