The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Island County, WA

"I visited Brookdale a year ago. It was very nice, clean, cozy, and would have been a nice place to live. The staff member was very knowledgeable, and personable, and she had been there a long time. That was impressive, and there was a low turnover of staff. The dining area was very nice, and the food was very nice. They had a library, a little coffee or bistro area, and beautiful landscaping. Some of the apartments had balconies, which was something I would have wanted. The residents can have discounts to the nearby YMCA, and they can use the pool and services there."

"Warm Beach Senior Community is a healthcare center and there is senior living around there. They're like condos and then they have assisted living and a nursing home, so if there's an emergency, they take them right over there. If they say they need to go to the hospital, then they take them to the hospital. I visited the assisted living, and it was very good. It's an older building, and the only downside is the rooms were very small. You can get a bed in there and maybe a comfortable chair, but that's about it. They had a nice patio. I like that one very much even though the rooms were small and it's very costly. The residents were eating snacks and they were doing activities, they were playing some games, and someone was playing the piano. They enjoyed the games and even those that weren't participating just stayed on the sidelines and cheered everybody on. The care there seemed good. They have a bus and they were going to be taking them to the festival that Friday. The staff was talking about all the outings. They give you rides to your appointments and things like that. The staff was wonderful. The facility was just old. It could use some remodelling, but it was very clean."

"My father will be moving to Skagit Valley, and we liked it because of the location and the price. The rooms were nice and spacious. He will have a studio with a kitchenette. They have daily activities like bingo, going out to the stores and casino, and going out for drives. The people were very friendly and very helpful, but they should improve on welcoming the people; it felt like sometimes they were kind of more about getting him in versus customer service. "
