The Best Assisted Living Communities in Chelan County, WA

"My great-grandmother fell in her driveway and broke her hip. After rehabilitation, it was clear that it would no longer be wise for her to live by herself. My family decided that she would move to Western Saddlerock Adult Family Home, just a few miles from where she previously lived. Throughout her time there, the staff was always courteous, respectful and hospitable. In this home, the overarching goal was to promote a family atmosphere rather than that of a nursing home or assisted living facility. It felt like the caretakers truly cared about my great-grandmother. They were firm with important things such as making sure the residents regularly took their medicine, but they worked hard to maintain everyone's dignity. Also, they were never too busy to be friendly to my family and I when we visited. In particular, I remember when the director of the home took 30 minutes of his time to converse with us as a group. Overall, my experience with this home was very positive. "

"I toured Avamere at Wenatchee. It had lots of amenities. It was very clean and the staff was super nice. The one that I looked at was really nice. It had high ceilings, so it felt really spacious. Kevin, the gentleman that showed me around, is very knowledgeable. He introduced me to a lady that takes care of planning all the activities. Sounds like they have quite a bunch of different activities they can do. They can take them on excursions."

"As a hospital case manager looking to place someone in assisted living, I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, care and compassion of the director of nursing at Kadie G., Jenny P. Jenny rapidly facilitated a compassionate and concise transition from our rehab to their ALF. I was impressed with how attentive, interested and engaged Jenny was with the transfer process. I look forward to collaborative exchanges in the future. Thank you for setting the precedence of excellence in patient-centered, holistic care. Bravo! "

"Highgate genuinely cares for their people. It is an outstanding place because of their staff and the actual facility. First of all, the facility is gorgeous with beautifully clean rooms and is safe. They have multiple safety pull cords in the apartment, many people that check on my mom frequently and have great protocols for Covid in this unprecedented time. The staff is a wonderful, caring group that checks on my Mom often, too. I commonly hear staff in the backgound when I call my mom. The people of Highgate are extremely friendly, pleasant and very patient while interacting my mom. The staff is always cheerful in the background and try to accommodate my mother's needs and wants. Many staff members are on speed dial and I am told to call them anytime with concerns or questions. Highgate staff sincerely want to do what is best for my mom and our family."

"My mother is in Mountain Meadows. They’re great, and I was really impressed with them. The residents were happy and the working staff is just real caring and goes above and beyond to make everyone happy. They try to accommodate what the residents need. They have an activity room and an activities director, but my mom has dementia. They have different rooms; my mom is in a studio, but they have rooms where there’s a bedroom, living room, and a little kitchen. The dining room looks nice, but I haven’t eaten there. "

"I toured Heritage Heights. I liked the decor. It was very nice and recently updated. The dining room was very homey. They have an outdoor area with lots of flowers that is very inviting. It's a little place for them to walk outdoors that is safe. I really thought the staff was excellent in the conversations we had with them. What I liked the least (and it might just be this way since this is the only one I've ever visited) is that the rooms for me were quite small, and the bathroom seemed a little bit institutional. Those are pretty much the only two things that I would have negative to say about them. I thought it was very nice. Had my mom wanted to move into an assisted living place, that would definitely be a place that we would be interested in. However, she really liked the idea of living on our property right next door. Nevertheless, the staff members were great, and the facility was very clean."

"My mom is in the Cambridge. She's been there for eight years and it's excellent. Mom's level of care needs more observation than they would have been able to give, but she's coming along, and doing better, so I think it's OK. They serve three meals a day. They have housekeeping, and a program that includes exercise, Bingo, and word games. They have entertainment come in, Bible study, and church service on Sunday afternoon. The staff is just really kind. However, they could have a bigger variety of food."
