Independent Living Communities in Woodinville, WA

"I like Redmond Heights Senior Living's location. I like that you're able to have your own room, and I like the fact that they had activities for the patient to mingle and socialize with their peers. It's close to where we live. The staff that showed me around was very friendly. He took the time with me, and I appreciated that. The building was very clean, and the structure seemed like it was fairly new, maybe two to three years old. It has had some renovations. They had a nice sun porch. The rooms were big. Some of them were a little bit too big, but I thought it was very spacious. You could bring in your own furniture as well as already furnished. I thought that was nice."

"I went to tour Peters Creek Retirement, Assisted Living & Memory Care. The receptionist was very friendly and very encouraging. The gentleman was open to answering any questions and said, "Let me take you on a tour." He showed me where the craft room was. They played games there. They had paid attention to the things I said my sister was interested in when I spoke with the other gentleman on the phone a few days earlier. She likes adult coloring, puzzles, and playing games, and so the staff showed me all those. He told me about the library, and he took me upstairs and showed me a room. There were two rooms, and it had a mini kitchen and eating area between the two. My sister would have had no roommate, and she would have has a bathroom that is not across the building like she has where she is now. I asked if they were set up for a TV already, and the staff said yes. I asked if they were set up for a computer, and he also said yes. The room I looked at had a mini balcony, but you couldn't open a window or a door to get out of there. It was for the view, and the view was lovely. It's completely wooded with a creek in the back. What I saw at Peters Creek Retirement was great. They have a paved walkway all the way around outside. They have an elevator for my sister to get to the room, which is good because she has a knee issue. They have a patio outside. Everything I saw was neat and clean, and flyers were available for you to help yourselves with."

"We are so grateful for Cogir Kirkland! My mom has lived there for 3 months, and it's such a relief to know she is safe and well cared for. The community is only a year old--it's beautiful, light, and well-maintained, plus the rooms are very large. And surprisingly, the food is great! But the very best part is the staff! They are very skilled and professional, while also being super kind and caring. My mom is at the end of life, and can be "difficult" on top of it. Each staff member works extra hard to ensure she is heard; that she has everything she needs; and that she is comfortable and happy. Cogir Kirkland has a new General Manager that has been successful in implementing new systems and processes, and in building a strong and committed team. We are so happy to have them as part of our family!"

"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."

"I toured Overlake Terrace. They offer quite a bit of other activities besides just a room and a place to eat. They provided the care that we are anticipating. They have a recreation room. When we were there, they had someone who came in and played some music for the folks. They have a little coffee shop bar, a theater room for movies, a pool table, and a library. It was very clean-looking. It looked like it had been renovated over the last four or five years, or maybe six years somewhere in there, so it was a little bit modernized. They took a bunch of assisted people there and brought them to Seattle to look at the Museum of Flight. They do outside activities, and they'll take them to the mall or shopping. I was surprised at how many people worked there. There must have been at least 30 or more people that went into the cafeteria for a staff meeting. As we were leaving, more people were arriving for work, which I assume was their shift. So, people come and go. I met with the director of the place, a nice gentleman. It's not a huge company, but it's a sizable group of people that work there. They served us lunch while we were there, and the food tasted good."

"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 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. "

"The rooms are very nice and the garden is lovely. The food is great! The staff are fantastic and talented. Activities are top notch. Residents are diverse and friendly."

"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."

"In March 2024, our Dad passed away, rather suddenly, in our parent’s home in Bellevue. Our Mom expressed a desire to move out rapidly, and we discussed the option of a premier senior living community. My Mom’s hope was that, during this acute period of grief, that she would not have to part with her two cats. “We will cross that bridge if we have to, she said.” I told her that our family would take care of the cats if necessary. These were searing, early conversations. I assumed responsibility for our parent’s estate and became personal representative for our mother. I live in Southern California, but I am fortunate to have two siblings who live in Washington State. We felt that time was of the essence for Mom, so we moved swiftly. My brother and his spouse began to look for a potential community. Based on referrals from a network of friends, their top choice to evaluate was the Gardens. After identifying a wonderful unit that was available, they called me. My brother’s first quote was, “this isn’t just a place to live, it is a community; the residents are friendly, and it feels like a warm environment.” They brought our mother to the Gardens, and she gave it a big thumbs up. We moved her in, and the cats settled in rapidly. During the past seven months, I have spent a great deal of time at the Gardens. I have enjoyed breakfasts, lunches and dinners in the dining room and have had extensive conversations with other residents. Given that there is an on-site continuum of care offering, should Mom’s needs evolve over time, I take solace that she is settled. More importantly, given my geographic distance from her, the thought that there is a caring and competent Gardens team looking out for her provides additional comfort. I think that our Dad would be pleased and would have wanted the best that we can do for Mom."

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

"Brookdale Monroe was excellent. I like how the director answered all my questions and how I got to meet the residents as well. I saw my mom interacting with all the residents and how they interacted with her. They were very professional. I felt very good about the security of the building, so my mom couldn't get out if her dementia got worse. I looked at their menu. I saw people eating it, and they said the food was always consistently good. It's the best I've seen of all the other facilities. It's top-notch."
