Independent Living Communities in Redmond, WA

"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 lived with my Mom in a 2 bedroom unit from Oct. 2023-Sept 2024 in her last year of life, and I can not say enough good things about the staff of Creekside. The staff and residents went above and beyond for my Mom during her stay, treating her like their own family members at all times. They helped her laugh after her major car accident, showed her love when she was confused, and ensured that she was safe in a way that reassured her dignity, and they showed up to say goodbye to her in hospice. I witnessed staff picking up luggage at the airport in their free time for other residents, sitting with residents for long talks and hugs, and visit many residents that left Creekside temporarily for rehabilitation centers, hospitals and hospice. The official Creekside bus and car were both working constantly, and there were two loving and busy staff members, Katie and Jeanette, driving residents daily to outings, errands, grocery shopping, local plays, exciting destination group trips, and so much more! There were group exercise classes 4 days a week (Sit and Be Fit, yoga, walking club). There was weekly live music, art classes, a drama reading group, a Men's group, bingo, Wednesday night pool group, and so much more. Residents created a regular daily card game schedule, with more than one table of 4 going at once. There is a puzzle table always open for anyone to relax at. There is always coffee, cold drinks, sweet treats, fresh fruit, and popcorn in the lobby, as well as copies of the daily newspaper. The food is fantastic! Chef Justin and his team created a diverse and delicious menu that gives yummy options for residents with food issues such as gluten free, low salt, vegetarian, etc..I am picky, and I loved eating there. Award winning food! And several special meals during the year, such as the 4th of July picnic BBQ outside, Mother's Day brunch, Father's Day BBQ, and fancy formal theme meals with wine pairings. The cleaning staff are a loving addition, as they take time to talk, laugh and dance with residents. Melina was a delight., and Leonor was an angel. Irma was in the other building, and also stopped by to show Mom love. The night staff have stepped up in various ways for our family, such as when my Mom locked herself outside her room in the middle of the night in her nightgown, and her memory had gone, so she was scared and confused- I was inside our unit and asleep and she did not think to knock on the door. The staff find the most tender ways to help reassure residents, quickly calming them at their most vulnerable moments. She came back into the unit laughing with the staff. Mike, as Executive Director, leads this team to be loving to all, treating the staff and residents as a family, as a true home that includes everyone there. He reminds residents that there are so many hidden treasured staff working behind the scenes, and after living there for a year, I think I witnessed all of them doing something above and beyond for residents: Marty's great with coffee, knowledge of theatre and local restaurants, and a great hugger. Julia is a calming presence, organizing financials, helping with cable issues, and filling in at the desk so staff can get a break or emergencies. Brennon is a master at hanging art work with his laser level and can fix anything. Melina also helps with fixing everything, including helping so many residents figure out their remote controls, lol, and helping them laugh. Ashley trains and schedules the food servers, and she picks such gentle souls. Sandra is the heart of Creekside to me, greeting residents, guests and delivery workers from her desk. She hugged my Mom every day, made sure she shared Starbucks coffee with her daily, and was a loving presence that was a gift to our family, especially after her car accident and later, when we discovered Mom had a terminal illness. There were days that were so tough, and Sandra was often the person that noticed, and gave the support Mom and I needed most. I am grateful that Mom picked Creekside as the place SHE wanted to join, as she had been coming to Creekside as part of an outreach program for her church for 15 years. I never expected how wonderful this place could be. It's magical."

"I toured at Solista Bellevue by Cogir. They serve meals and have a full dining room. I noticed it going by. It was beautiful. Solista was white outside, like white stone, and it was just bright and cheerful. The rooms are not overly large, but they're not really super small either. The staff were just lovely while I was there. I was invited to dine there, but I was not able to. They sent me home with some cookies. It was really nice, and the cookies were really good."

"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!"

"Aeon senior living is a loving happy home for my Mother. The home is brand new and lovely with an award winning chief and loving staff .She enjoys daily activities and wonderful outings. She has a wonderful extended family and they treat us like family too."

"My partner moved into Spiritwood at Pine Lake. The people have been very positive and responsive in helping her settle in. Her room size is good. We decorated it all ourselves, and it's a decent-sized room for her. I dined there, and the upkeep was good. The service was good, but she needed to adjust her diet, and they haven't done that yet. She has dietary restrictions, and they haven't really implemented them. So, that's been a bit of a delay with that. She has dietary restrictions. She can't eat tomato, onion, cheese, that kind of stuff. So, it's very specific stuff she can't eat, and she's had trouble getting them to adjust that when she doesn't specify it before a particular meal. Parking is always accessible."

"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."

"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 am writing this review as a family member of a Bellwood resident. I love the greeting by the Bellwood staff as I arrive to visit my relative. I am always greeted with a warm and smiling face. Everyone seems to know the names of residents as well as most of the guests. Bellwood has so many events/activities to involve residents in this Life Minded community. Alona, the manager, takes her job very seriously and is involved with this community. She gives her all and makes an effort to know her staff and residents as well as the family members that come to visit. It is a very welcoming place to live as well as visit."

"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."

"I toured Revel Issaquah. It was very high-end and nice. Colleen was very nice. I was looking for a one-bedroom. She showed me the one-bedroom. It was staged very well. It was roomy. The kitchens there have probably been the best. They're almost like a full-size kitchen. It was nice, with full-sized appliances, not like that little teeny tiny refrigerator some places have, a full stove, and everything. The dining area was ample. It was very nice. It's fairly new."
