Independent Living Communities in Kirkland, WA

"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!"

"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."

"We toured Kenmore Senior Living. It was a very nice lunch. The food was very good. We also had nice cookies and they sent us home with cookies. The facility, everything was lovely. It was clean. It was neat. It was attractive. They had rooms set up for us to look at. We looked at floor plans. The people living there stopped and said, 'This is the best place to go. It's really good.' They had activities. It's got a military base. There's a lot of people. There were lots of men there because it was very attractive to send my brother to get a room there. We met a number of people and everybody was very helpful, very cheerful, having fun, and interacting very well with everyone. It was excellent."

"Mom just moved to Empress Senior Living at Laurelhurst Assisted Living and Memory Care. It's a facility that was just built a few years ago, and their staff is wonderful. I spent many, many days there with my mom. They are very professional and good. The food was very good, too. In memory care, there are a lot of people who are not very high-functioning, so they don't do a whole lot of activities, but the value for the money is pretty good. It costs $6,600 a month to be in that facility, and then there are additional costs on top of that, but I think for what I looked at all over, their cost was about the same as others. I was so lucky to find that place. They had space available, and they were able to get me in. It wasn't out of reach cost for me."

"We toured Overlake Terrace. I liked it. The location was nice. I went with my sister and met the gals there, and they were nice. The rooms and the place were nice. I enjoyed the tour. It was very neat. The location took me a while to figure out, but I live in Redmond, so it's not out of the way. It was just tucked in there around Microsoft. So, it was very nice and modern."

"I'm moving into the Bellettini. It was in the right location, in a city. I needed an urban setting. It seemed far above the others, although it was a lot more expensive. At the time that I signed up for it, the meal plan was better, but they've consequently changed their meal plan. It had air conditioning and it had a gas fireplace. The gas fireplace is what attracted me to it. Very efficient, very friendly staff, and they kept in contact with me at all times. I loved the food. They had a range of activities, which appealed to me. They have a gym, hair salon, and two different restaurants."

"My wife moved into Pacific Regent Bellevue. They did fine. It was a very nice place, not cheap, but nice. The staff was great."

"I visited Solista Bellevue by Cogir. They have a library and a weight room. The person giving the tour was nice and friendly. The facility was nice. I liked the units. I want to move there. They provide three meals a day."

"My father is moving in at Covenant Living at the Shores tomorrow. They have been wonderful. We have several family members and friends who have lived there for a few years. My dad is joining them, so we're happy. It's beautiful. It's on the lake. He is moving into a lakeview apartment with full care options, which is everything from assisted living to hospice. So, we're hoping this is the last move for him. His apartment is beautiful. They completely remodeled it with new carpet, new appliances, and new paint. The food is very good. My father is very excited to just be cooked for, so he doesn't have to cook himself. He said the food is very good, and that's what he's looking forward to most. They have a separate lodge with the dining room for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have a beautiful workout room with a view of the lake. They have music programs. They have committees. You can join a committee and have a voice in the activities and the community. I think there's over 300 residents, and there's always something going on all the time. They have a program that if you run out of funds, they will let you stay there. They have a scholarship program that you can stay there till the end of your life. You do pay upfront, but then you get a percentage back. It's expensive, but it's absolutely worth it. He can stay there indefinitely."

"I visited the independent living community of Truewood by Merrill, First Hill in Seattle. It was clean, delightful, inviting, and friendly. The person who gave the tour was very friendly, very helpful, knowledgeable, and really listened to what my needs were and what I was looking for. I looked at the food choices in the menu, and it looked like it was in alignment with what I usually like to eat. There was a common room where some residents were watching a movie, but the other activity areas were not being used at the time I was there. I was taken through those activity areas and saw the facilities, but I don't recall if there were actually people, although I think somebody was in the game room playing games."

"We toured Cogir of Queen Anne. The tour was very nice. The people were nice. The food was good. However, their independent living is in a different building from the dining room. The meals are included in independent living, so by the time they added up meals, the dog, and parking, it had gotten to like $6000, which was way too much. And the distance from the apartment to the building where they had all the activities was across the street. My husband had a stroke, so he uses a wheelchair and a walker, so it wouldn't have been very convenient at all. The apartment was nice. It was a two-bedroom, and it had a patio outside. The guy I talked to was very nice and very accommodating. The people we met there were very nice. However, it just didn't work for us. We had lunch there and it was very good. We had it on the rooftop. They had a rooftop garden that overlooks Queen Anne and that was quite impressive. It was a beautiful day, and the folks were very nice. "

"My dad was a past resident of Ballard Landmark. It's excellent. It's like being on a cruise ship. It's very very clean. The restaurant was my dad's favorite because he could get 2 to 3 meals a day. And they had a menu. It wasn't just a set menu. He could choose what he wanted to eat. The staff was excellent. They were great. They have a pool, a gym, and a beauty salon. They have a shuttle that will take you on your errands. They have movie nights. They'd have a little meet and greet. They had a guys' club that would meet for breakfast. There were a lot of committees. So, he was kept pretty busy. The facility was within walking distance of his drugstore and the place where he likes to go get french fries. So he liked the location."
