Olympic Alzheimer's Residence was fine. There were just too many people than I expected. It was too crowded for me. The outdoors was nice. They had a beauty salon or barbershop and various things. The facilities were nice. The staff was nice. The cleanliness was good. There's plenty of light.

My spouse had early onset Alzheimer's and was a resident for 3 months. He was evaluated and we were happy when they assured us they could meet his ever changing needs. We believed the grounds and environment were the best we had visited. Three months later they could not meet his needs, made up instances that his behavior was not acceptable and he was evicted. He then spent 1 horrible painful month in the hospital while we searched for a better facility that could properly care, love and take care of him, which we did. I will NEVER recommend this facility to anyone and have given this information to both local caregiving companies and the Alzheimer's association. They have no idea how much pain they caused my spouse and our family and they do not care. They are only concerned with keeping manageable residents and their license.

I really liked Olympic Alzheimer's Residence. We liked the staff, and the facility was very nice. It was bright and cheerful. Because of COVID, you had to wait in the parking lot before you could go in, and the gentleman came running out with this big conga drum attached to him. He was maybe ten minutes late, and he said, "I'm sorry, I was doing a drumming session. We were singing. I wish I knew you were out here; we would've had you come in." That right there shows that obviously they do activities with the residents. Then when we went inside during the tour, there were some residents sitting around in a circle in one area, and a lot of them were interacting with him. One of them even said, "I love you. Where are you going, and when are you going to come back?" I like the way the residents interacted. It's our number-one choice mainly because of how they interact with the residents and also the precautions they take for Alzheimer's. Before entering different areas, we had to clean our hands, and then not only did we wear masks, but they gave us face shields before we could go anywhere in the facility. They're protecting the residents, and they're doing the best they can. Because it is strictly memory care/Alzheimer's, they focus their activities and things for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. It was very clean, and there were no smells. Every single place we went, there was not one area where you'd say somebody had an accident or it needed to be cleaned or something. The residents were alert and interacting. When we first got there, a chef or a nutritionist came in with this huge plate of freshly baked cookies, and they were really good. They said they always have fresh cookies for the residents in the afternoon, and they always give them a little snack before dinnertime.

Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease and having to find a reputable care facility for your loved one is a dauting task. Finding one that not only is extraordinarily professional, but has a staff of the most incredibly caring, loving, and kind people is a bonus! People that were just made for working where they are. The individuals at Olympic Alzheimer’s Residence in Gig Harbor, Washington are just those kind of people. This facility is staffed with the most amazing professionals. My husband and I have never worried about the care that Mom receives or any lack of attention to her. Not only is she so well taken care of but it is truly a place for peace of mind.

When I went to visit Olympic Alzheimer's Residence I met with the director or the manager, Angie. She was really nice and took me around. I could tell that the Medicaid would be the only concern for them, but they were nice. I thought it was a nice place and that the tour went pretty well. When Angie and I had our initial meeting, I told her that my mother was strictly on Medicaid, and her demeanor was kind of like, "Oh". So I felt that going forward, it was just kind of her telling me where they eat, where they can go walk, and so on. The tour really seemed kind of generic, and the tone seemed to have changed, although not rudely. We also discussed the financial aspect with regards to my mom being Medicaid only. I was a little bit put off by that, to be honest. I also ran into some issues with them later on. They reached back to me and said they had a bed available, and that we could come so they could assess my mom. They didn't handle the situation well at all. They crashed my mom so to speak, although they didn't do it personally, when they denied taking her. I found out later after some inquiries and talking to the social worker and DFHF that it was because they couldn't get an increase to her Medicaid daily rate. Even though they said that they based it on her behavior. They said her behavior was difficult so they were not going to take her there. I understand that, but that's not my biggest beef. I was very disappointed in the whole process because it was a dollar driven thing. I don't question their care for people in there. I question the process of getting people in. I wish they could have been upfront with me instead, but it lead me to believe that as soon as they got a Medicaid bed that opened up they would bring her right on. But that really wasn't the case. I'm disappointed with the whole process and that really bothered me a lot. However, the initial process and the tour left me with a good impression. It just took a turn because it wasn't handled really well. I was impressed with the place and facilities. They treated the people well, and the staff and the residents interacted really well. I didn't want to say it was all about the money, but when I mentioned Medicare it was like a very condensed tour. I was onlu there for a half hour. Their facilities were really clean, organized, and there were staff members everywhere. So that was very impressive to me. I would give them a five on that.

We couldn't be more thankful to have our dad in this facility. Everyone who works there from the Administrator to the nursing staff to the receptionist are all passionate about their care for our dad.
