Independent Living Communities in Silverdale, WA

"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. "

"I wanted to get a sense of the feeling of living in University House. My tour with Mike was very friendly and complete. It covered various choices of living quarters, dining plans, optional elective activities, health support, the building and grounds. I even met some of the residents. Needless to say, I was most impressed."

"Brookdale West Seattle was a terrific facility. It was almost brand new. They had great staff. They had lots of open spaces and 2 outdoor gathering places that were really nice. They had wonderful activities going on. The residents were very, very friendly and welcoming to us. Lindsey assisted us with the tour and she was just focused on finding the right needs from my mom and assuring us that they can provide the care she needs. She showed us studios, a 1-bedroom apartment, and a 2-bedroom apartment. We did eat there and it was very good."

"Holiday Bridge Park seemed clean and spacious. There was good lighting, which was cheerful. It was also very quiet. I was there early on Saturday morning, so there weren't a lot of people out and about yet. The staff was great. It was like an open house, so they gave me some free snacks. It was from the bakery, and it was good. They had some exercise classes."

"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."

"Large windows, balconies, lots of enriching activities on and off site via the facility bus, friendly staff, and outstanding food."

"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."

"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."

"I really liked El Dorado West. It's a very lovely facility. It was very warm and welcoming. They have a large dining room where people sit and be by themselves, or they can sit with somebody else. There were a ton of activities. I liked the fact that they come in and change the linens on a weekly basis, and my sister doesn't have to purchase food or prepare food. The staff members weren't communicating very well with each other because I gave them the deposit and I called them to get the deposit back and I asked them if I could get the medical records that the doctor's office had sent them and the staff said, "Yes, I'll make sure you get those." When I went to pick them up, they had been shredded, so they were not having good communication. I was not very happy. We had lunch there, and it was very good. They had a lot of different facilities. They had a game room and a large theater type thing with a very comfortable theater chair, so they can watch movies or watch ball games. They also have a hairdresser onsite for those who want to have that."

"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. "

"Aljoya is a lovely community with many varied activities for residents, such as exercise classes, Current Event presentations, concerts, art classes, and more. It is within walking distance to Luther Burbank Park, as well as grocery stores, Starbucks and many restaurants. Our apartment is bright, the rooms are spacious, and the staff is very responsive and knowledgeable. We love not having to cook if we don't feel like it, and the food is good!"

"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."
