Communities in Marysville, WA

"I would highly recommend MorningStar of Silver Lake. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and explained things well. The restaurant and the food menu looked very appetizing. The layout of the apartments was great, and the space was good. They have a library, a theater, movies, bingo, and a community garden."

"Brookdale Arbor Place would be our second choice. The rooms were nice. The staff was really enthusiastic and wanted to be there with the seniors and helping them through their situation, whatever it would be. There was lack of a stove in the unit and no balcony, but I would've been happy with my mother at either one of the places we toured. My brother just thought the balcony and the stove were important. The sales staff and even the people who worked there seemed to have worked there a long time. They didn't have the turnover that some places have. I give them a few bonus points for that. During the tour I saw some people sitting around in the lobby area doing puzzles and that type of thing. The staff member knew the residents by name. We also had a virtual tour there. Someone walked around and answered any questions we had. That was the first place we visited, and we were there for two hours. They answered a lot of the questions that we didn't have to ask other places we went to. The sales staff was very attentive and even gave us answers to things we hadn't thought to ask."

"I went to Brookdale Standwood, and it was really nice. However, when you walked through the door, it didn't have that pop, but that's OK. We did see a room, although it was a 2-bedroom, but it was really nice. I was impressed with how you could just step into the shower, and there wasn't any little thing that she could have fallen over. I had a friend that worked there, and she was really nice. The place was great. Some of the people there were really nice and friendly. It was probably nothing, but the gal that showed us around was not the most welcoming person. That would be my biggest complaint. I thought because it was respite care or maybe they had a bad day, she wasn't as nice as the gal at the other place we visited. "

"It seemed very nice. I like their location. The staff was interested and willing to take us around. They gave us a complete tour and even offered us a meal. They were very accommodating. It looked like they had lots of things to do. They had an exercise room, an indoor swimming pool, a library, and a game room. "

"Ascent Adult Family Home LLC was clean. They had a locked closet that you had to have a code to get into for the medications. The lady showed me around and she was just very nice and friendly. They were going to be getting the room ready (it wasn't ready yet) for my sister. They have to do an assessment first, so she would work with me on my sister. It's a home. From the second floor, getting to the yard in the back would be difficult for the people, but they've got a deck in the summer where people can go out onto and they have two of them. One had raised beds around the whole perimeter so that people could do gardening in it. It was comfortable-looking and it just seemed very nice. The lady I met was the owner. She lived downstairs. She was very personable and caring. They just didn't have a lot of parking, because it's in a neighborhood. So, their parking was not very good to go and visit."

"I toured Brookdale Monroe. It was good. I got to ask questions. They are more like a wing. They had a nice internal garden area. They have assisted living, it's kind of a courtyard and then the memory unit is on the other side of the courtyard which is a secure unit. It was pretty good. The people there seemed to be happy. I got to see the menu. The cost was a little bit higher than a couple of others but they're well done in terms of the decor. The environment is very positive and seems to be a pretty high-quality place. The staff was good. They had all the options, you can have private or shared rooms. The assisted living people are given as much freedom to participate in the community as they want. There's some group of ladies there who do flowers. The residents grow flowers and cultivate flowers in the courtyard. They encourage the people there to contribute as much as the community wants. They are doing different things, which is kind of nice. They chose a room where the ladies were in there making flower arrangements. The price is a little higher, but it seems it comes with the quality of places."

"My visit at Aegis of Lynnwood was pretty good; I was satisfied with it. The people that I met, I got good answers from, and I felt okay about that. The rooms were roomy and comfortable looking. There was a little get-together, and I also stepped into the movie theater while they were watching a movie. The woman that I talked to spent a lot of time with me, answering my questions and giving me a lot of information, so that was also very important. "

"I thought Gencare was inviting. They had a little garden, and I thought that it could have been a little more accessible. They had a decent dining room. I liked that it felt like everything was on one floor, although it wasn't. I felt like it was somewhat like a home. The staff was very friendly and easy to get a hold of. When I wanted to see a different type of room than they had available, the manager asked a resident if it was okay if we looked at her room, and she just gave this glowing review of the place and the staff there. It made you feel more open to it because someone who lived there was so excited about living there. They said they offered trips out into the world. However, I thought they needed more activities to bring life to the place. "

"Edmonds Landing is a coastal community and it's friendly. They have adequate but small kitchens and the staff was really helpful. The people there were having lunch and that's what we saw. Their dining area is adequate, they have a chef and take some pride in it. They have a patio and courtyard but they're pretty limited in size. It's very urban, very city oriented, so it's not spacious, but comfortable."

"My grandmother very recently moved into Kenmore Senior Living and while we were nervous about how she would adjust to a new environment let alone a new state we were pleasantly surprised to see how well she has been adjusting. She is attending art classes and moving around much more than she ever has. One thing I will also mention is that every time I visit Kenmore and run into staff, they always greet me with a smile as well as other residents and visitors."

"Riverside East was nice. It was smaller, and the rooms were smaller. Everything was smaller. They seemed to have a meeting room, they do have some transportation, and they seem to have basically the same amenities. Part of the problem was that it was a little darker. It was not as bright as the other places that we were looking at, and that was a concern to us. But other than that, the people seemed friendly. It was just a much smaller group of people. A nurse was available most of the time, so that was interesting. "

"We love the expert personalized care and superior service that the caregivers and nursing staff give my husband with his Parkinson's Disease and dementia. The atmosphere of a home, nutritional meals, fun activities and loving care make it so special!"

"We toured Laurel Cove Community. The one-bedroom suites are huge and clean. They have air conditioning. The staff who gave the tour was great. They offered the same amenities like housekeeping, activities, and meals. The dining area was nice and pleasant. They also have a beauty salon, and it's reasonably priced as well."
