Assisted Living Communities in Kennewick, WA

"My father moved to Brookdale Meadow Springs. He is there for assisted living. He is in a nice room, and it's large. He's in a studio apartment, and it is the perfect size for him. The people are very prompt when he has to call and press their call button. They do a good job and make sure that he's gotten everything he needs on that call before they leave. They see that he gets to meals in case he's asleep, and they have to wake him up and get him down there. They are very good at attending to his needs. It's a little bit of an older building, not brand-new fancy with lots of chrome and mirrors and stuff. Other than that, the place is clean and nice. I had no problems at all. I have tried their food. I had lunch there, and it was very good."

"We visited Brookdale Richland to see their assisted living for my father, but they did not have an apartment available in the size that he needed. They did not have any studio apartments available. They also have long hallways. It would be a nice place for someone mobile, but my father is not, so the long hallways would not have suited him. Other than that, I love the person and the management I talked to when we were there. They were very good. The rooms were quite nice, too. For a one-bedroom apartment, it had a nice-sized living room, bedroom, and bathroom. We also walked past their dining area, and it was nice. It was a very lovely and very restful-looking place."

"My brother is a resident of Sun Terrace Hermiston. The staff, even from the administration department down to the caregivers, they're all very polite, very helpful, and accommodating. You ask them a question, and if they can answer it, they will. If they can't, they will go find somebody to come talk to you that can answer your question. They all work together as a little community inside the building. They take the utmost care of their residents. They can accommodate residents to their doctor's appointments if needed. Their activity department is very active. I know my brother said that he loved the activities that they did there. The other residents can make friends with one another. It usually happens in the activity room, like my brother, he likes to play poker. So there's a few other guys in there that like to play poker. So they all would get together several times in the week and just go in the activity room and play poker amongst themselves. I would recommend people to put their loved ones in Sun Terrace Hermiston. I have tried the food on several occasions, and I was pleased with it. The other thing that they do there too is like in between meals, they have this little snack bar, like all the perishable stuff, they have ice laid out there. They go in there periodically and check it so that if the residents there get hungry in between meals, they can go there. They have a wide variety. They have fruit and vegetables, a little dessert, yogurt, milk, and cottage cheese. I've compared the price of Sun Terrace Hermiston assisted living to some of the assisted living here in Eastern Oregon, it's a little cheaper than it is here."

"We walked in Sun Terrace Prosser, and the staff were very friendly. It was clean, and we just felt comfortable as soon as we walked in the door. I like the location. They offered to help with mom's daily living. They will come and check on her, take care of her, help her shower, and take care of her medicines. We got there at lunch time, so they were in the dining room eating. They have a fromal dining room. They have an activities room. They said it was Thirsty Thursday, and in the afternoon they were going to have wine tasting. They also have crafts, and they have something scheduled for the mornings in the afternoon. They had an emergency situation while I was there, and within seconds the ambulance was called. They had everything under control within seconds. They've got shade trees around. They've got a courtyard. They've got fountains, and people can go out and sit in the shade."

"I really liked the Hawthorne Court in Kennewick. The floor plans were wonderful. It's well lit and spacious. They had a craft room. They had bingo. They had some kind of bowling. They have exercise and physical activities. I think they have a pool as well, and the activity director seems to be pretty on top of the activities that aging people can do. This is assisted living, and the rooms that they had available had a good view or a pretty view out of the two communities that I saw. I thought my mom might enjoy looking out the window."

"My husband is in WindSong at Southridge and it's great. The staff are also great; they're just wonderful. They have lots of activities because it's a Montessori-based facility, so they have residents doing lots of things to help them. It's a very new place, so they have just about everything -- and everything is new and good. They have two outdoor areas: one where they can go and calm themselves down, and one, which is a bigger place, where they go with other people. So it's very nice."

"Fieldstone Memory Care Kennewick was a nice place. I liked that it was laid out a little bit better than the other facility. But the location was not convenient for us to go and see my mom. I liked the rooms better. They had a little more privacy, even though they were shared rooms. The staff did a good job. The second time we went there, we talked to one of the nurses, and she gave us a lot of information we needed to know. They had a pharmacy there. They have a kind of a theme setting in their building. They got a movie theater and stuff that my mother would be interested in."

"My mother-in-law moved into Fieldstone Grandridge. The place is very nice, it's very clean, and it smells good. It doesn't smell like urine in a lot of places, and it doesn't smell like death. The staff is friendly and helpful. She said there's some food that she likes, and some food that she doesn't. They have a very selective menu, so that's very nice. It's not, "You have to eat this today, and you have to eat that," she gets to choose what she eats. It's laid out very nice, and most things are on one floor. There are a few things on the other floors, but it's all pretty much in one area."

"My dad had been attacked and had a stroke. He was here for A long time and couldn't have lived without these great people. Ben is a nurse who helped my dad alot and also Alanae is a beautiful physical therapist who works there. Without them my dad would have died and without Alanae I would not be sane. I love their care and it's a good facility. Cool people and good care means that things will be ok after All. "

"Great atmosphere, superior care, attentive staff, and attention to detail. Fleur de' lis is a wonderful place for your loved ones that need 24 hour care. "

"Initially, I was really pleased with Agape Care with what they would offer for my father and at that time they didn’t recognize that he was not yet living with anybody especially people with other medical issues. He was very uncomfortable, and he was not used to the food that they provided. He lost some weight, and he just has a particular diet that he has had, and it’s not the typical diet that people have when they’re trying to take care of their health. He grew up on a ranch with meat and potato, and he very seldom had noodles. They are really cut and dry about his food, with lots of butter and cream. That’s not the best healthy diet for other people in different circumstances so he lost a lot of weight. His room was perfectly fine, and they let us go in to a smaller room to get in there a few days early, and then he was moved in to a larger room which was great and very appropriate for him. It had nice windows. I wasn’t pleased with the bed because my father complained about that after about a week. The only other thing that I really was kind of disgruntled about with his room was the lights were always low, and it was hard to get light bulb to put into his light, but his room was perfectly adequate other than that. I think the people were very nice, and they were in process of a new owner, new manager, new staff in general, and along with that comes kind of a little miscommunication although I believe they got much better at it. He was there for two months and establishing their particular workers and what they do. One thing I didn’t care about was dad had to get to know many people, but he seemed to adapt okay to that. I know they’re trying, and I know the new owners are trying, but what I can tell you is I would not recommend anybody for it. Not with my dad’s experience -- it was not great for him. They weren’t setup for him either, and they recognized that at the very beginning so we paid more because dad was going to be outside their normal scope and when they found, he wasn’t really outside their normal scope. I would not recommend the place as much as I like the owner, and she knows how we feel because I’m an honest person and she is too. It was a mutual separation because he never really fit in there with the other residents, and he needed to be in a different place, so it’s a mutual leaving. It was easier for most of the family to get to see him more frequently. "

"Kind and caring facility. Very focused on the well being of residents. Building in need of repairs, but the atmosphere was very home like and relaxed. "

"Donna's time at Life Care of Richland has been very helpful. The staff has set a plan for each individual to help then get the treatment they need for a safe and fast release. Donna has made friends with the staff and had many laughs and good time during recovery."
