Assisted Living Communities in Mountlake Terrace, WA

"I went to Laurel Cove Community. The people were very friendly and they seemed to be very busy. The staff was very nice. The young woman was sitting at the desk immediately came up and said, "Hi, can I help you?" Everywhere we went it was nice and you felt very comfortable. I liked the room there. On the outside, it doesn't look like much, but when you walk in, it's a completely different feeling. The menus look good. They showed us the menus, and we were there each time at almost lunchtime. Their residents seemed to go to lunch between 11:00 and 1:00. The food smelled fantastic, but we didn't eat any of it."

"I toured Edmonds Landing and it definitely was a very old building, and much smaller. The staff was wonderful, the one who did the tour, and they made sure we were introduced to people. The rooms were pretty small. They were like in the low 300 square feet. We had a little tea sort of thing and dessert. They said they had a little bistro area, for lack of a better term. From the discussion, they had lots of activities and they were well-timed. They have people come in and play music. This was towards the end of our looking, and by this time I'm realizing that my mother-in-law, who's 89 and a half years old, is a heck of a walker. She doesn't use a cane or a walker, and she will go. She's extremely physically fit, with just her dementia and her cognitive issues. We were concerned about that, and they said we could get her like a watch that has an identifier where she is. I thought the place was nice enough and the room was nice enough. It was not at all decorated in my style, but it was something she would like. But we were more and more concerned about her leaving. In the end, it just wasn't the right place for her, and I didn't pursue it."

"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 visited the North Creek by Bonaventure's assisted living. I don't know much about the community yet but I know what I want in an apartment, and it's the only place I've found that has everything. I wanted a washer and dryer in the unit, a full kitchen, air conditioning, and a place I could get outside with my dog. I've been to several other facilities, and theirs is the best for me. It's also not a big place. The lady there who helped me was great."

Ida Culver House Broadview (ICHB) is a warm, attractive lifestyle. Come to see for yourself."

"Staff are wonderful and make you feel at home and cared for. There are always activities planned and have a large turn out of residents at each activity. Food is good and the place is odor free and clean. It would be nice if they would redecorate the interior, as it does not do Riverside East justice. It's a little out dated and as I look back, was almost why we didnt choose to move here, but happy we did!"

"Northgate Plaza was lovely and yet not overdone. It's a relatively urban setting, but the grounds were lovely. They had flower beds and such. I thought how nice it was going to be to watch those flowers through the year instead of just concrete or urban scenery. It was very nicely done. It was not as luxurious as some of the others, but it was delightful and very comfortable. I saw three different layouts of rooms and I saw the effort of the person working with me. You could tell she was thinking about what she had heard me say and then was trying to match different room layouts as to how she understood that, which I really appreciated. The staff was delightful, friendly, and genuine. The food was good."

"I visited Cogir of Mill Creek. They have independent living and assisted living. If it wasn't for the cottage at the other place, I would've chosen Cogir over all of the others. We were very impressed with the relationship of the people. They treated us nicely. The rooms were larger than any other place we went to and for us, that was a real plus. You have a lot of food choices. I like the fact that you have a regular menu and you have an alternate menu. You have a choice of a lot of different things. The people were friendly. It's family-owned. Even though it's large, the setting is good. They have an indoor section that you can step outside and I like that they're pet-friendly. The cost was a little higher, but I think it was worth it."

"The rooms are very nice and the garden is lovely. The food is great! The staff are fantastic and talented. Activities are top notch. Residents are diverse and friendly."

At Emerald City Senior Living, our community's culture is built on helping our residents find their happiest, healthiest selves. After hearing from multiple new residents that they were concerned about getting involved and making new friends, we formed a resident ambassador program, which pairs each new resident with an ambassador who helps them acclimate to Emerald City, engage in activities and events, and volunteer in the local community. A lot of our residents want to stay active, even during the dreary, rainy, Seattle winters, so we formed an indoor walking club and indoor gardening club, so they can appreciate the outside, inside. We also noticed that a lot of our residents were traveling to doctor's appointments and therapy visits, so now we're proud to offer a visiting physician service along with an in-house, on-site therapy facility, so our residents can get the care they need, right here, at home.In short, when our residents talk, we listen. If you or a loved one are looking for a senior living community where residents are respected and heard, we'd love to meet you. Contact us today to schedule a tour.To learn more about this providers license and review other available state reports, please visit: Washington State Department of Social and Health Services Long-Term Care Residential Options

"Rooms are lovely and well equipped. Dining area is comfortable with a marvelous menu , even vegetarian options. Activities are varied and interesting. I toured with my Neice and I sincerely wish I was able to stay in the area so I could live there.."

"We toured Brookdale Arbor Place. It was a friendly place. It was small enough, but not too small. The gardens are beautiful, and there are nice places to walk outside. It's very quiet. My friend liked the size of the eating area because she's in a facility now where it's a huge room, and it's so loud she can't hear anybody, or they can't hear her. She loves that they had a top-floor apartment for her with a nice view. The fact that their laundry is done for them was a big plus for my friend, but she can also do her own if she wants to. So, it's nice that they provide laundry and their self-serve laundry. They don't allow cooking there, but there's a microwave, a refrigerator, a sink, and cupboards. It's like a little kitchenette, but no stove."

"My mom moved into Brookdale Everett. They're the most caring and kind I've ever seen in the ones I've looked out for. The staff is excellent. They're long-term. One has been here 23 years, and one has been 20. They have excellent meals. The facility is extremely well taken care of, and they are fairly priced."

"Aegis Lodge was gorgeous. It was a beautiful facility. The people seemed very nice. They had a lot of activities. The food looked good. The person who took me on the tour was very nice and very helpful. They gave me some cookies, and those were good. The building looked beautiful and extremely clean. Everybody seemed okay. It was just a little bit impersonal. The rooms were good sizes. Usually, two private rooms would share a bathroom, and it was very nice."
