During the first quarter of 2026, Mountain View Post Acute earned an overall rating of 2 out of 5, data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows. This rating was below Washington’s statewide average for nursing homes, which was 3.3.

The facility offered 74 available beds—23 fewer than the statewide average reported for the same period. On average, it provided care to 64.6 residents over the quarter.

By the end of the first quarter of 2026, Mountain View Post Acute had incurred $231,170 in four total fines and experienced four separate penalties.

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the country’s older population is increasing as the number of children declines. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older rose by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the last century, the older adult population in the United States has seen significant growth, going from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.

A study from 2021 estimates that nearly half of people in this age group, or about 28 million, are expected to need long-term care and support. The research also projects that more than a third will likely require nursing home services at some point.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
