Assisted Living Communities in Kelso, WA

"My aunt will be moving into New Westside Terrace. What I liked the best about it was it felt homier than the other places we toured. The staff was nice. We saw several rooms of different sizes, some were just recently moved out of, and some weren't. Because of where the building is, some of the views are not the best from where the rooms are located, but with the layout, things are easy to get around in. There is a lot of storage. They provide nurse sitting, showers, and services that we needed for my aunt. They're working on the rooms as people move out. They're putting in new flooring and painting as people come and go."

"We have visited Somerset Retirement Home and Assisted Living. What I liked about it, and what my mom liked about it, was everybody was very friendly, and the fact that there were a lot of different activities in the facility that fit my mom. When you walk into someplace and everybody is so friendly, it makes a huge difference. She also liked the fact that although the grounds were small, there was a lot there that she could enjoy, like the koi pond and gazebo. I told them what we were looking for and they took us right to it, but at the same time, they also showed us all of what was there. So that's really nice. You need to bring your own furniture, but they have a microwave and an apartment-sized refrigerator. The kitchenette was nice and had plenty of counter space, so that was very appealing. They have benches everywhere around the facility outside, and they have what they call their back porch that's got a porch swing. The dining room had these great big windows that looked out at the yard that they have. It's more like an upper-end restaurant, they have a salad bar, and they have plenty to offer in that regard. The air smells so good, and we didn't even think about that. The staff said to pull down our masks a bit and smell the air, and it was wonderful. So that was helpful for my mom. The facility was very clean and the layout is very simple to figure out."

"I went to the Villager Inn Retirement Center. I went through the rooms, and there weren't a lot of people there sitting out. I wanted Mom closer to me instead of driving to Castle Rock. The cleanliness was very nice, I saw the menu, but did not taste the food. The staff was very nice, answered all my questions, and I went to school with her uncle."

"My mother-in-law has moved into Woodland Care Center. My husband knows somebody that works there, so he talked to them and we were able to get her into there. We met them, we dropped her off, we talked to her, and left. So far it's been fine. We need to call them today because I need to get some more information about who takes care of her catheters, specifically if we need to do that or if the insurance does. It looked fine on the outside. It's obviously like a lot of older buildings. It looked perfectly fine. The people seemed to be very attentive when they came out to talk to us and were welcoming. It takes us close to 45 minutes to an hour to get there. It's pretty much right around the main old town square."

"I had an in-person tour of Clark's Country Haven Adult Family Home. I like the country setting and the layout of the house. The staff was very courteous and informative. They offer food and assistance. They have a large patio. It's just a small house. I saw one resident, and he was just lying in bed and was very quiet. They have a table and a living room with a large TV that everyone can sit on. They have shared rooms, and I thought they were fairly small. It was roomy enough for a person in a wheelchair to get around. The living room was large. The dining room was kind of a combined open area. The bathrooms were large. They have lots of parking space. It looked very well landscaped."

"Spring Meadow Assisted Living is really convenient. It is around five miles from where I am, and that is one of the big factors as to why I chose it for my husband. It is also small. There are only like three residents in it. It is excellent. They have their own studio room with their own bath. They have a nice dining area. It is a really nice facility. I will definitely recommend it to others. I never find anything negative with them. They have a social director, and they do activities. They have exercise every morning. They do bingo. They do music and have people come in a couple of times a month to either play guitar, piano, organ, or some type of light music. They also have ice cream socials, cooking, baking, and those types of things. For a small community, they do very well. "

"Very nice, and clean. the staff was very helpful, and my grandmother seems to be enjoying her time there. There seem to be many activities. There was a buzzer then went off rather often though. It is in a very central location to basically all you could ever need in the city, close to food, walmart, the highschool, and grocery stores and pharmacies. plenty of parking. The landscaping was neat and in order. Although it was not my choice to put my grandmother into this home, if I had a reason to put my mother or father into an assisted living community, I would have no problems selecting this one "
