Independent Living Communities in Arlington, WA

"I'm moving in here. I like that they provide three meals a day, and I like the cleanliness of the place. The apartment is small though. It has a refrigerator and a kitchenette. The staff members are very helpful. I also have access to a beauty shop and the post office. They provide clean sheets and towels, and they clean every other week. They have a lovely dining room, too."

"My mother has moved into MorningStar of Silver Lake. They're very friendly. The service is fantastic. The food is excellent. The accommodations are superb. She likes it very much. The food quality is very good. They have Chicken Alfredo, beef tacos, tilapia, and different fish. It's a varied menu. It's very, very good and people have lots to choose from. They have a husky tailgate, happy hour, and a Veterans program coming up this Saturday honoring Veterans. They have live music there. It's a very lovely facility. They have movies twice a day, and they have activities going on every day. They have exercises going on every day."

"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."

"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."

"The wellness staff was always accurate and timely with the meds. Mom condition improved some when she moved into Country Meadows. I attribute this to her reliably getting all her meds on time. The unit was perfect.. It was a 2 bedroom 2 bath so, my out of town brother could stay in the unit when he flew to town. The staff was very caring and compassionate right up through Hospice, in the unit. They all seem willing to jump in and do whatever is required."

"My parents moved into Brookdale Monroe. It's a 13-acre parcel. They have non-assisted, assisted, and memory care, so residents can move wherever needed. My mother needs assistance while my dad does not, so they live together, and they can offer different care for both of them. They're very well-staffed. They offer a ride to medical appointments, shopping, and outings. They take care of lots of different services with extra charges for medical, medicine, and personal care. Included are their meals, electricity, and utilities. They offer lots of different activities daily. The staff are very qualified. They keep the facility very clean, and they're always doing maintenance. Right now, they're going to start redoing the carpet. They have a couple of dining rooms, so there's adequate dining. They offer menu choices for food and give the occupants choices. However, they could probably make up a little bit on some choices. The cost was very reasonable based on the other places we toured."

"We're in the process of moving our mother into Harbor Tower Village. We chose it because it was probably a little bit cheaper. The facility seemed very nice and very clean, and the rooms seemed adequate in size. It was a very nicely laid out central courtyard. It's a circle, so no one can get lost. The rooms were laid out nice. The dining area was very nice and had huge windows, so you could see outside. It was not a closed in feeling. The living atmosphere was very good. The staff seemed very pleasant."

"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."

"I visited the Regency on Whidbey. It's essentially like a fancy hotel. My first impression was that it is very nice. It's nicely appointed, it's clean and appeared to be fairly new and had that kind of an expensive aura. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, and showed me everything I needed to see. They were playing bingo in one room, and some people were watching a movie in the theater. The dining area was very nice and they had two chefs. And they had a menu posted that looked very nice."

"I chose GenCare Lynwood at Scriber Gardens because it was very affordable and seemed like a good place to be. I've been here for about two months now. The food is excellent and I'm very happy with that. The staff has been very accommodating. I recently moved from an original room to a better one and it's got everything I could possibly ask for as far as the places to live. "

"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."

"The Creekside was great. We toured their independent living and the facility is very clean, which we were very impressed with. It's also easily maneuverable, and the doors were wide enough for a wheelchair. The rooms are laid out pretty well. The only thing I wondered is that if you have a 1-bedroom, you have to go around a wall to get to a bathroom straight through. That's just me, though. I'm just extremely picky. The dining room was extremely clean and I was very impressed with that. The place was very clean and smelled clean. I'm very picky and I smell things and this place smelled good. I was very impressed with how clean it was. The staff was very patient with my dad and answered every silly question there was about the windows and non-slip things. They're very good and my dad was very comfortable there."

"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!"
