Assisted Living Communities in Auburn, WA

"I toured Brookdale Foundation House. I liked the fact that they included meals and transportation in the service. My concern is there isn't enough space. I'm trying to downsize from a house to a one- or two-bedroom apartment, and it's not enough space for me. The rooms seem to be very nice. They were roomy and didn't have a whole lot of stuff. They're great. They have little kitchenettes off of the rooms. I didn't see a lot of the staff. I can see them at a distance. They seemed to be interacting well with the clients, seeing what they wanted to eat in the dining room, and things like that. So they seem to be very helpful. The dining room was a pleasant room for people to interact and socialize. The community is near shopping areas. It looks like it's pretty well laid out. What I didn't like was that the available rooms were so far from the dining area. I'd probably end up using my electric wheelchair to get from point A to point B depending on where I got a room in there. But as far as the layout, it's convenient, and it's close to shopping and other amenities. I also looked at the menu and the choices looked like they were good choices with variety."

"I have been in this community for 9 months. I like the privacy most of all. The cleanliness and the food selection are both excellent. My daily walk around the building totally unencumbered is wonderful. Last, but not least, COGIR is a community of caring individuals. Most residents care about each other and their daily well-being. I enjoy living here. ,"

"The rooms are newly remodeled, and they have an option for you to design your own apartment. Thought that was really cool. The Staff seems to have longevity. The food was much better than any of the other Senior living communities we visited. We Like the Central location as well."

"This is the one my mom chose after looking at a few others. That is the one she likes. It is great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice. She is in a one-bedroom apartment. Everyone seems to have a great time. They all go on their activities together. I've eaten with her a few times, and the food is good. It's been great."

"My uncle has moved into Mill Ridge Village. The location and the staff are what made us choose this community. The staff members are super helpful, caring, and accommodating. My uncle's apartment is a small studio with lots of storage. The place is super clean. They have a nice courtyard, which is secured. There's a lot of activities. They have a game room and a movie-TV room. So far, so good."

"We toured Meridian at Stone Creek. It's nice. The little houses are beautiful. They have a special where you only pay $200 monthly for all your utilities. So, that was nice. They also have a free first month's rent, which is good, and you only have to pay a $1200 deposit to get in. So it is a good deal. I wish it has been a little bit bigger. My daughter thinks that we've been a little crowded. It's a beautiful little cottage. They were pretty. They have cathedral ceilings, a lot of light, and a little fireplace. It was an electric fireplace, and I like it."

"It was wonderful, and I will rate everything in there a five. I haven't tried the food, but I looked at what was being served and things; it's more homestyle. It was nice, like something that you would have at home. They did offer a couple of different selections, which was nice too. For my dad, home-style cooking would be much more to his psyche. It's all on one level, so there are no elevators or anything like that, which was wonderful. It's like a big circle, so you can go in any one direction, but you always end up back at the same place. They had a nice big courtyard. They offer assisted living through the end of life."

"My stepdad is in Cedar Ridge by Bonaventure. It's a very nice place and very well-taken care of. The staff is really good, they bend over backward for you. It's just a very nice facility. He's got a studio, it's got a good layout, and it has a small kitchen and a nice bathroom. The food is really good, and the workers are all always very helpful. They have amenities like a game room, they'll take them to stores, and they've got a nice big area where they could walk around. They have a smoking area out front, it's very well taken care of. They're all priced about the same as other places."

"I toured Fountain Court Senior Living. It's nice that I have my house. I have my privacy. If I choose to go have meals, I can do that. If I want to cook, I have a full kitchen. It's like a little house rather than an apartment. So it's more private, more secluded. We have three meals a day. We just walk a short way over to the building for our entertainment, exercise, meals, etc. They have many more activities. Something going on like four days a week for shopping to many different places out to lunch day, scenic day. They go to zoos and things like that. I have not eaten there, so I don't know how their food is, but I understand the cook has been there for five years, and everybody seems happy with the cooking. I've only talked to one person there, and that is like the person who showed us the house and told us about it and gave us a tour. It's very nice, it's very clean and well laid out. There's a lot of trees. There's a lot of strawberries. The people were nice. They were friendly. They spoke to me and said hi. They smiled as I walked by. I thought it was very good as well."

"We went to Village Concepts of Fairwood. It was very nice. Beautiful grounds. Beautiful building. They have lots of staff and friendly people. The apartments were very nice and very beautiful. The staff who helped me with the tour was great. She was very nice and very helpful. She answered questions and pointed everything out for us. The dining area was very nice. They had lots of options, and they had a couple of different places to eat. They had lots of activities, a game room, an art room, a beauty salon that was nice and a library."

"We've chosen Bonaventure of Maple Valley because they had immediate availability of a two-bedroom unit in assisted living, and other places had a waiting list. Another reason is the explanation of services provided. They use a level plan instead of a menu plan where you have to choose. They explained the services that you'd be getting for a certain price. The staff was very nice. I've chosen the two-bedroom, two-bath with real good views. There are so many amenities. I liked that they have a simulated golf thing where you hit into a golf bat and it tells you how far you hit it and all that, then the transportation that they had and the ease of being able to get into that transportation. It's pretty new, so everything looked nice. We live in a 55 and over community, and several residents that used to live here have moved to Bonaventure, so that's kind of a good thing."

"My mother-in-law is expected to move into GenCare The Lodge at Eagle Ridge assisted living. I have toured the facility and I like it because they have a long-term staff so people have been there for years. They have systems in place that are tailored to individual resident's needs. The director also knows each resident by name, as far as I can tell, and the residents themselves are happy and engaged. They have exercise and personal trainers, their food is delivered to them, and they're also given personal care. For activities, they have a library and a salon, and they have trips."

"I'm seriously considering Brookdale Courtyard Puyallup. Everyone there was very accommodating and very friendly. The facility is extremely nice, so I was impressed with that, and that's probably why I am more interested. They are a little bit more expensive, and I'm sure it's because of their location. They have different floor plans. Mike, the gentleman that I spoke with, did a very good job in explaining the care, and the fact that they don't have, I guess it would be called contract care workers coming in, that very much impressed me. He was extremely helpful."
