Assisted Living Communities in Bellingham, WA

"My husband is at Highgate at Bellingham. It's way too far out expensive. Right now, it has been really rough because of Covid isolation. My husband is pretty sad that he can't even see anybody, but that's not their fault. The problem I have with some of it is that he gets a lot of missing items. When I send about 20 pairs of pants, he is down to 2, and that's not appropriate. Other than that, there has been no issue except for the cost. It was all virtual tour, so I didn't get to even go in his room. They don't have a whole lot of activities because of Covid. My husband said the meals are fine. He said the breakfast is not good, but lunch and dinner are fine. The price is terrible because they're charging way more than other facilities, and I'm not getting anything out of it. The part that bothered me even more was when I went to put him in there, they charged me an extra $3000 to $4000 just to get him set up in there. I thought that was totally inappropriate. I was not happy about that and that bothered me. I just don't think they're upfront on everything. The people were very nice though."

"We chose it because the place is very clean, the people are very friendly, and I had lot of recommendations for it. The food is good, the location is convenient to where I live, and they're willing to take Medicaid if my husband runs out of money. "

"We toured Cordata Court. It was nice, clean, and comfortable. The size of the room was not my cup of tea. It was pretty stark. They didn't have a stove. They just have a little mini refrigerator. The staff was nice. She's very helpful, she showed us around and talked to us. The dining area looked like the typical dining area with tables and chairs."

"I'm in Meadows Green because of the location, the desirability as a community, and the surrounding environment of a golf course. They have an activities director who was open to ideas, and they do a number of musicals, shopping transportation, book club, and the traditional bingo. We get three meals a day with variety, and it's good."

"My husband's uncle and aunt have lived at Christian Health Care Center, and they loved it. It's busy and friendly. The room was nice. It's similar to a hospital room, but they had everything very nice for my uncle and aunt. They had everything they needed. They couldn't say enough good things about the place. They loved being there. For what they're getting, it's well worth it. The place looked clean and well-kept. It didn't smell or anything."

"My dad's girlfriend was a resident of Vineyard Park of Lynden Manor. It seemed to be very clean. She had her own private room. It was small, but it was definitely clean. It had a nice sense of community. There always seemed to be a group of people around in the lounge or in the eating area together, or outside sitting in the gazebo in the sun. It seemed like they were really close, like the people took care of each other, and I like that. It seemed like a really lovely place. I just really like the place. The place was gorgeous. My dad's girlfriend's room had a countertop with a microwave and a little cook oven, and then there's a very small refrigerator. There's a sitting room. The bedroom was separate from the sitting room with a bathroom in the bedroom. It's very small. It was small but it was hers."

"My mom is in Life Care Center of Skagit Valley and it is a wonderful facility. It has a very good reputation. The food is very good, it is not the greatest but it is okay. With the care, I will say 90% of the people working there are wonderful. I like the nurses and the care that they give. When you walk in everyone is smiling, there is no odd smell and everything is clean. The rooms vary, there is an older part of the building that isn't the greatest, but they keep them very clean. The newer rooms, of course, are nicer. There are activities every day, like games, bingo, and sing-a-long. They have a little garden where they can plant flowers. Everything was wonderful even the administrator, except for the social worker probably because she is young and new. I think she is not really well informed because she is hard to work with. "

"The top of our list is Creekside. I really like it. I like that they have two different dining areas, e.g., a regular dining hall and a bistro. You can go to either one. This gives you two different dining options. They have five courtyards too. Most of the rooms look into a courtyard. They have balconies and there is good light in the rooms. I really like that. Each hallway is decorated in a different theme and I didn't see that anywhere else. I thought that was cool because otherwise they all look the same. They have themed hallways, which I thought was really great. The hallways weren't drab. They had a calendar of activities. I really liked the community. The staff who helped me was very good."

"My mother lived at Ashley Gardens for about two years until a few months ago. Ashley Gardens is by far the best community when it comes to care. The care staff are very attentive and genuinely care. From doing the nails, curling the hair to dressing the ladies, so they look great when we come in. There was never a day I worry about my mom's care. I highly recommend Ashley Gardens. "

"I liked the friendliness of the staff and the meal options at Mountain Glen Retirement Community. My father-in-law will be moving in there and the room that we chose was a larger studio with a good-sized bathroom. He has a wheelchair, so it will accommodate his needs. They have a couple of larger gathering spaces, a little theater room, and an activity space, too."

"The Bridge at Mount Vernon is only ten minutes away from where my daughter lives and it is a very clean facility and it doesn't smell. The setup of the room that I am going to have is very nice. I will be moving there in October. "
