A skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in South Seattle added six water and ice units to its South Walden Street campus, covering resident care areas, staff zones, and a clinical wing with purified water and ice across a 165-bed facility that has served the Mount Baker neighborhood for over 40 years.
Dillon Mitchler placed one A-280C-UC under-counter unit, three S3 countertop water coolers, one M6 countertop water cooler, and one A-550 commercial ice machine with bin at the facility.
The Facility
The South Walden Street campus provides 24-hour licensed nursing care for up to 160 residents across short-term rehabilitation and long-term care programs. Services include post-surgical recovery, wound care, IV therapy, pain management, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, respiratory care, and hospice and palliative care. The facility is certified by Medicare and Medicaid and has operated in the historic Mount Baker neighborhood as a community resource for over four decades, also serving as a training and mentoring site for healthcare students.
A skilled nursing facility at this scale runs multiple distinct spaces with different water needs. Resident rooms and care wings require accessible, clean water for staff administering care. Clinical and therapy areas need reliable hydration for patients working through rehabilitation protocols. Staff break rooms and administrative offices need their own water access separate from patient-facing areas. A single unit in one break room does not cover that range.
Six Units Matched to the Space
The A-280C-UC is an under-counter unit that installs beneath a counter and delivers purified water through a dedicated tap above, taking up no counter space in a clinical area where every surface has a purpose. Three S3 countertop coolers distribute hot and cold purified water across resident and staff areas throughout the building. The M6 covers a higher-traffic space where a slightly larger countertop unit fits the demand better.
The A-550 commercial ice machine with bin handles the facility's ice needs. A skilled nursing campus running post-surgical care, wound management, and rehabilitation therapy uses ice for patient care purposes beyond what a combo unit produces. The A-550 generates consistent, clean ice at volume with a dedicated storage bin, giving nursing staff reliable ice access across shifts without managing delivery schedules or rationing from a small bin.
Dillon Mitchler assessed the full campus and placed each unit type where the specific need was greatest. Bottleless Nation manages maintenance across all six units on a set schedule, and the Seattle area team covers ongoing service for the South Walden Street facility.
