Assisted Living Communities in Arlington, WA

"My father-in-law has moved into Ashley Pointe Senior Living. What I like the best about it is they're a very friendly community. The room is updated and has high ceilings. It is bright and it has a really good shower. I had food there once, and it was good. The quality of the food is probably average. The staff members are extremely friendly. They seem like they're well-staffed. With regards to activities, they took the residents over to the creamery for a frozen yogurt. They've had a picnic in the park. But my father-in-law hasn't done any of them yet."

"My mom moved into Brookdale Everett. They're the most caring and kind I've ever seen in the ones I've looked out for. The staff is excellent. They're long-term. One has been here 23 years, and one has been 20. They have excellent meals. The facility is extremely well taken care of, and they are fairly priced."

"My mother has moved into MorningStar of Silver Lake. They're very friendly. The service is fantastic. The food is excellent. The accommodations are superb. She likes it very much. The food quality is very good. They have Chicken Alfredo, beef tacos, tilapia, and different fish. It's a varied menu. It's very, very good and people have lots to choose from. They have a husky tailgate, happy hour, and a Veterans program coming up this Saturday honoring Veterans. They have live music there. It's a very lovely facility. They have movies twice a day, and they have activities going on every day. They have exercises going on every day."

"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."

"We went to Where the Heart is Assisted Living and Memory Care. We looked at all sides of it. They have a good system and a good program. The facilities were excellent. The people were very nice and you could see that they were interested in doing a good job with the people they were working with. Just looking at it, I thought it was a lot newer than it was."

"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're in the process of moving our mother into Harbor Tower Village. We chose it because it was probably a little bit cheaper. The facility seemed very nice and very clean, and the rooms seemed adequate in size. It was a very nicely laid out central courtyard. It's a circle, so no one can get lost. The rooms were laid out nice. The dining area was very nice and had huge windows, so you could see outside. It was not a closed in feeling. The living atmosphere was very good. The staff seemed very pleasant."

"I visited the Regency on Whidbey. It's essentially like a fancy hotel. My first impression was that it is very nice. It's nicely appointed, it's clean and appeared to be fairly new and had that kind of an expensive aura. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, and showed me everything I needed to see. They were playing bingo in one room, and some people were watching a movie in the theater. The dining area was very nice and they had two chefs. And they had a menu posted that looked very nice."

"I chose GenCare Lynwood at Scriber Gardens because it was very affordable and seemed like a good place to be. I've been here for about two months now. The food is excellent and I'm very happy with that. The staff has been very accommodating. I recently moved from an original room to a better one and it's got everything I could possibly ask for as far as the places to live. "

"I toured Edmonds Landing and it definitely was a very old building, and much smaller. The staff was wonderful, the one who did the tour, and they made sure we were introduced to people. The rooms were pretty small. They were like in the low 300 square feet. We had a little tea sort of thing and dessert. They said they had a little bistro area, for lack of a better term. From the discussion, they had lots of activities and they were well-timed. They have people come in and play music. This was towards the end of our looking, and by this time I'm realizing that my mother-in-law, who's 89 and a half years old, is a heck of a walker. She doesn't use a cane or a walker, and she will go. She's extremely physically fit, with just her dementia and her cognitive issues. We were concerned about that, and they said we could get her like a watch that has an identifier where she is. I thought the place was nice enough and the room was nice enough. It was not at all decorated in my style, but it was something she would like. But we were more and more concerned about her leaving. In the end, it just wasn't the right place for her, and I didn't pursue it."

"We toured Kenmore Senior Living. It was a very nice lunch. The food was very good. We also had nice cookies and they sent us home with cookies. The facility, everything was lovely. It was clean. It was neat. It was attractive. They had rooms set up for us to look at. We looked at floor plans. The people living there stopped and said, 'This is the best place to go. It's really good.' They had activities. It's got a military base. There's a lot of people. There were lots of men there because it was very attractive to send my brother to get a room there. We met a number of people and everybody was very helpful, very cheerful, having fun, and interacting very well with everyone. It was excellent."

"Staff are wonderful and make you feel at home and cared for. There are always activities planned and have a large turn out of residents at each activity. Food is good and the place is odor free and clean. It would be nice if they would redecorate the interior, as it does not do Riverside East justice. It's a little out dated and as I look back, was almost why we didnt choose to move here, but happy we did!"

"I went to Laurel Cove Community. The people were very friendly and they seemed to be very busy. The staff was very nice. The young woman was sitting at the desk immediately came up and said, "Hi, can I help you?" Everywhere we went it was nice and you felt very comfortable. I liked the room there. On the outside, it doesn't look like much, but when you walk in, it's a completely different feeling. The menus look good. They showed us the menus, and we were there each time at almost lunchtime. Their residents seemed to go to lunch between 11:00 and 1:00. The food smelled fantastic, but we didn't eat any of it."

"My wife has been at A Mother's Heart for a while now. It's actually a private home. People there take care of her. She's in a private room and it's kind of small, but it's got a bed and a sofa type chair in there. They get people in there that more or less play with them a little bit, and check them out. Right now they have three residents there. She's always happy with the food. It's $6,000 a month and I find that to be hard, but that seems to be the going rate around here."
