"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."

"My father-in-law has moved into Ashley Pointe Senior Living. What I like the best about it is they're a very friendly community. The room is updated and has high ceilings. It is bright and it has a really good shower. I had food there once, and it was good. The quality of the food is probably average. The staff members are extremely friendly. They seem like they're well-staffed. With regards to activities, they took the residents over to the creamery for a frozen yogurt. They've had a picnic in the park. But my father-in-law hasn't done any of them yet."

"I have a very good rating for Grandview Village. Everything that I've seen was a 5-star. Everything they did for me was a 5-star. I've just seen the first part of it and when I drove into the parking lot, everything was very well maintained, very clean, and organized. The staff was very informative, gave me all kinds of leads or which step to take next and a list of places to go, and a book of all the facilities in the area and the reviews on them, so that was extremely helpful. They just wouldn't accommodate my mom because it wasn't a memory care facility. If a person has dementia and they wanted to leave, they could, because their doors are not locked. I've seen the cafeteria and a room where they go for gaming and entertainment."

"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."

"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."

"Windsor is a very up-to-date, very comfortable, and well-kept place. Everything is beautiful. It is very homey. There is something going on for the people around. They showed me a room. It wasn't occupied but it was totally furnished. It had a bedroom, a kitchen and a restroom. It was just perfect. Dining was all family-style but at the same time everything was served to you. The waiters were like in a very prestigious restaurant. They were all very courteous and very fast. Food was great."

"We visited Madison House. We toured the whole facility. It was very, very nice. It's an upper-scale thing. It's very expensive. It was a place that my mom would not be comfortable in because of the expense. It was a quick visit, but everybody was friendly. It was a very beautiful place."

"Our apartment is spacious and well laid out. The food and other services are superb, and the staff seems to please. Many interesting residents. Moving into Ida Culver House Broadview was a good decision."

"My husband and I are residents of MorningStar of Kirkland. The food is very good. It's presented very nicely, and everything is always delicious. We have a wonderful chef. It's very clean. They take excellent care of us. There's a lot of great activities. We have no complaints. They have an exercise facility, so they have exercise classes, and they bring in entertainment. They take us on trips, like on Christmas day, they took us on a tour to see the Christmas lights all over Kirkland and in the area. They take us to concerts downtown. Everything is great. The staff is very helpful, courteous, and considerate. There's no disappointment. It's a great place."

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

"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."
