"It was our first choice. It had nice rooms, great staff, and a lot of pride in meal preparations. I talked to some people that live there, and they were very happy. It was just a really nice facility. I looked at a one-bedroom apartment. There was only one room plus a little kitchenette area and a bathroom. This was where we would have moved my dad into. I was really impressed. It looked spotless to me. The dining area was clean, nice, and attractive. It was nice enough that even I would move in to the place. "

"We went to visit someone at the Emeritus at Garrison Creek Lodge, but we haven't really toured the whole building. It seemed like a nice facility. We liked it. They had a big dining area, and the rooms were down the hallways. What was nice about it was that every room looked out onto a little gardening spot with little animals. She was in a studio apartment, and it was comfortable for her. She liked it. It was good for one person. It was kind of expensive though, so she did not stay there very long. "

"We toured Brookdale College Place. The staff was extremely friendly. It was a very welcoming, warm environment and the place itself. I feel like it was just a matter of affordability, but that's all assisted living, so I feel like it's kind of it is what it is. I was given a menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to kind of show me what their options were. The place was very clean, warm, and welcoming, and there was lots of natural light to it and pretty spacious rooms. It feels calm and happy. Everyone, I think, was eating lunch when I came in. I feel like just across the board, everything was very warm, very kind, and welcoming. The rooms were very spacious and there were lots of room, like if someone was in a wheelchair or had a walker. It had easy accessibility."

"I went to Cascade Valley. My mom is kind of on the bubble of assisted living and memory care, especially a month ago. She's improved since then. Cascade was sort of my second choice because it had both services. It also offered a full vegetarian menu. It was a very nice facility. I went into both facilities. It seemed nice. The only reason why I didn't choose it is that it was a little bit farther away. I could only see my mother if she came out to the lobby, and we talked there or outside. The staff was very helpful and has followed up several times with me, emailed me, and called me. I would have put my mother there, but it just wasn't quite the right fit at the time. It is on my list for maybe the next step. I looked at studio apartments. In an assisted living and memory care, there's a lot more things offered. I can put my mother there and walk away. I can't do that at the other place because I have to be very involved in her care. It's full service. It's a beautiful facility and very clean. It seemed very active, especially in the memory care section. They were involving the residents in some sort of activity when I was there. I don't exactly know what they were doing, but it seemed very active. I can't really rate the food, but one of the reasons why it is on my list is because of the food though. Without knowing what happens after a person moved in, I really can't rate the food."

"We already found a home for my parent. It is Washington Old Fellows Home. We chose this place because it is a good community and because it was recommended by others. Also, the price was good and he needed a skilled nursing care that isn't available in assisted living. They do have assisted living, skilled nursing, and apartments. The facility is well landscaped; it is a nice area. My parent has been there for six weeks, but overall our experience with them has all been good. The room is nice. It is a small double room. They have a lot of activities. They have exercise and crafts, but I don't know if he can really get into that. "
