Assisted Living Communities in Arlington, WA

"Ashley Pointe was in a grander scale. It had a lot more cottages. Everything was top grade. Their interior was all updated. It was a lot bigger. They had certain rooms for activities. They have a crafts room and garden. Every week their menu changes, but there was always a steady one that people could choose from. The residents could add what they would like. "

"It was close by where I wanted to be. I went there and the description of it seemed to meet my needs. I like their community room and it seemed like the people that were there during my visit were having a good time. The staff was very pleasant and very kind. The rooms that I saw seemed to be very adequate. "

"I would highly recommend MorningStar of Silver Lake. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and explained things well. The restaurant and the food menu looked very appetizing. The layout of the apartments was great, and the space was good. They have a library, a theater, movies, bingo, and a community garden."

"Maple Ridge was a very nice facility and everything was just fine, but I’m only 90 years old and some of those people seemed so old. Most of them were in walkers or in wheelchairs. It just wasn’t for us. It was a very nice facility, and I couldn’t complain about that. They served us a meal that was very nice, too, and the people were very accommodating, but we just decided that we’re not going in that direction right now. It’s just that most of the people seemed like they had physical problems. "

"We toured Brookdale Arbor Place. It was a friendly place. It was small enough, but not too small. The gardens are beautiful, and there are nice places to walk outside. It's very quiet. My friend liked the size of the eating area because she's in a facility now where it's a huge room, and it's so loud she can't hear anybody, or they can't hear her. She loves that they had a top-floor apartment for her with a nice view. The fact that their laundry is done for them was a big plus for my friend, but she can also do her own if she wants to. So, it's nice that they provide laundry and their self-serve laundry. They don't allow cooking there, but there's a microwave, a refrigerator, a sink, and cupboards. It's like a little kitchenette, but no stove."

"I would just say that I had a very positive impression of Cogir of Mill Creek. It seemed to be a wonderful environment. They have quite a chef there and quite a food program going. They have a quite fantastic culinary program, and they don't have scheduled mealtimes. The residents can stroll into the dining room and be served like a restaurant and eat when they want to. An entire culinary program is a different approach and I think it's wonderful. Their chef did make me a lunch. My exposure was extremely limited and if I came, I was a prospective customer, so of course, the staff was wonderful. I think they're wonderful anyway. What I did experience was very positive, but it was also very limited. I was served lunch. We went to the side dining room. The chef came in and sat and chatted a while, and I think their entire food program is exceptionally good. The lunch was perfectly fine. I'm vegetarian also, so it involves something a little off the beaten path. The fellow who was touring me through there chatted a little bit and said when they brought the chef on board, he wanted to get very high-quality ingredients and to shop locally and to just actually really be a chef. At first, corporate was like, "You want to do what?" But then they realized that he had something awesome going on and they even have a little garden the residents like to tend, so he has fresh herbs and brings in locally fresh products, products of all different varieties. Instead of one truck rolling up with standard institutional food, they have lovely, fresh things with high-quality ingredients. My meal was perfectly fine, but they chatted at some length about it, and I was very positively impressed by that. It's very nice and very pleasant. They have a swimming pool there. At one point, people could bring guests, but with COVID, things have kind of changed. They do stuff like water aerobics and fitness things, and it's for the residents. The facility was quite nice, and it's in Millcreek, so it's pretty upscale."

"Ascent Adult Family Home LLC was clean. They had a locked closet that you had to have a code to get into for the medications. The lady showed me around and she was just very nice and friendly. They were going to be getting the room ready (it wasn't ready yet) for my sister. They have to do an assessment first, so she would work with me on my sister. It's a home. From the second floor, getting to the yard in the back would be difficult for the people, but they've got a deck in the summer where people can go out onto and they have two of them. One had raised beds around the whole perimeter so that people could do gardening in it. It was comfortable-looking and it just seemed very nice. The lady I met was the owner. She lived downstairs. She was very personable and caring. They just didn't have a lot of parking, because it's in a neighborhood. So, their parking was not very good to go and visit."

"My mom moved into Where the Heart Is a few days ago. We chose this place mostly because of the location. So that it'd be easy for us to visit her. The staff had been really helpful. They had an art class. They have a lot. We just moved her there. So, I don't know yet, but I know they had some art activities and exercises. I haven't tried it yet, but they have a salon, activity rooms, and just like gathering rooms. Everything looks really clean."

"The tour at Country Meadow Village was fine. The shower wasn't set up correctly for what my husband needed. It was a nice place. I like the location of it and the convenience. It is close to the hospital. The staff was really good. They had a library and a dining room. The one thing that I thought was lacking was the exercise room, but that was available at the hospital. They had a beauty shop too. The rooms were roomy, nice, and big."

"We liked Brookdale Monroe, but it was more than we can afford. They were very nice people who seemed like they had a nice place in there. They gave us a tour and were very nice and personable. The room was empty, but it was clean and had necessities, like a refrigerator. They walked us through the dining area, which looked nice and clean, and the people there said the food was very good. "

"My grandmother lives at the Aegis of Lynnwood. They have a courtyard with all grassy areas and a garden. I've been to their outdoor area to visit her most recently during COVID, and it was very nice. The staff members are doing a fine job. She has a very nice room, but she's almost 100, so she had to downsize to a studio. She used to have a room off of the courtyard. She had a patio that went out into their center courtyard area, and it was very nice. They have lots of activities, they post pictures, and they communicate with the families very well."

"We went to the assisted living facility of Harbor Tower Village and did a tour and lunch there. We especially liked the staff members. They are wonderful and caring, and they want to accommodate any needs you have. The food was very good at the lunch we had. It's not a gourmet restaurant, but it was very good. The place is very clean and bright. It has a very good atmosphere. Some residents told us how much they like living there, too. There were a lot of positives. One activity we observed during our visit was an informational lecture that one of the residents was giving about volcanoes. That was a very fascinating thing, and there were many residents gathered there. They have lots of activities there."

"I moved into North Creek by Bonaventure. It is a very good place. The staff here is excellent. The food is fine. It's nutritional and there's a variety of dishes, as well. They have an activity room, a theater, and an exercise room. The size of my apartment is fine. I have 3 rooms. They provide transportation. The residents that I know and I've seen are very happy."
