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."

"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 visited Cogir of Mill Creek. They have independent living and assisted living. If it wasn't for the cottage at the other place, I would've chosen Cogir over all of the others. We were very impressed with the relationship of the people. They treated us nicely. The rooms were larger than any other place we went to and for us, that was a real plus. You have a lot of food choices. I like the fact that you have a regular menu and you have an alternate menu. You have a choice of a lot of different things. The people were friendly. It's family-owned. Even though it's large, the setting is good. They have an indoor section that you can step outside and I like that they're pet-friendly. The cost was a little higher, but I think it was worth it."

"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."

"The wellness staff was always accurate and timely with the meds. Mom condition improved some when she moved into Country Meadows. I attribute this to her reliably getting all her meds on time. The unit was perfect.. It was a 2 bedroom 2 bath so, my out of town brother could stay in the unit when he flew to town. The staff was very caring and compassionate right up through Hospice, in the unit. They all seem willing to jump in and do whatever is required."

"My parents moved into Brookdale Monroe. It's a 13-acre parcel. They have non-assisted, assisted, and memory care, so residents can move wherever needed. My mother needs assistance while my dad does not, so they live together, and they can offer different care for both of them. They're very well-staffed. They offer a ride to medical appointments, shopping, and outings. They take care of lots of different services with extra charges for medical, medicine, and personal care. Included are their meals, electricity, and utilities. They offer lots of different activities daily. The staff are very qualified. They keep the facility very clean, and they're always doing maintenance. Right now, they're going to start redoing the carpet. They have a couple of dining rooms, so there's adequate dining. They offer menu choices for food and give the occupants choices. However, they could probably make up a little bit on some choices. The cost was very reasonable based on the other places we toured."

"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 assisted living facility of North Creek by Bonaventure. What I really liked about it was that the residents could start as independent living, and as they age and require more and more care, they can move them within the same facility to areas that provide more care and are, for their safety, more restrictive. When they have community events within the facility, though, they could bring those people back out, and they can interact with the people that they've gotten to know over the years that they've spent there. The staff there seems to really enjoy their work and care for the people who live there. They also allow people the freedom that they can handle within their faculties. As the people age, they work with the families and move them into other areas of the facility that are more appropriate to them. The director I met spends a lot of time there, off the clock, helping with gardening and other things, which says a lot. She's not there to just punch clocks. She's actually there because she cares about people. Some of the people there become friends, and it makes it much more of a community rather than just some place to go stick your elderly parents in and have somebody else take care of them. I didn't see any issues that would lead me to believe that they weren't taking care of the facility or keeping up on maintenance."
