Memory Care Communities in Arlington, WA

"Clare Bridge seemed very clean and well maintained. It was also very organized. They had activities going when I was there. I like their activities; they seem to be interesting. I really don't have anything negative to say about it. The director showed me around and I like the rooms and the services they provided which included hair salon, church services and things like that. However, this facility was very expensive. "

"Ascent Adult Family Home LLC was clean. They had a locked closet that you had to have a code to get into for the medications. The lady showed me around and she was just very nice and friendly. They were going to be getting the room ready (it wasn't ready yet) for my sister. They have to do an assessment first, so she would work with me on my sister. It's a home. From the second floor, getting to the yard in the back would be difficult for the people, but they've got a deck in the summer where people can go out onto and they have two of them. One had raised beds around the whole perimeter so that people could do gardening in it. It was comfortable-looking and it just seemed very nice. The lady I met was the owner. She lived downstairs. She was very personable and caring. They just didn't have a lot of parking, because it's in a neighborhood. So, their parking was not very good to go and visit."

"HomePlace Burlington Memory Care was very good. They had several little bungalows and each one had at least 1 or 2 caregivers. Looked like they did activities there, too, which I think was just phenomenal because they try to have people work to the best of their capabilities. I was impressed with that. There was a puzzle there and that's what they encouraged their residents to do. The lady was very personable and very informative. She was just very good and she emphasizes how they try to get their residents to be able to do things, not just sit around."

"My mom moved into Where the Heart Is a few days ago. We chose this place mostly because of the location. So that it'd be easy for us to visit her. The staff had been really helpful. They had an art class. They have a lot. We just moved her there. So, I don't know yet, but I know they had some art activities and exercises. I haven't tried it yet, but they have a salon, activity rooms, and just like gathering rooms. Everything looks really clean."

"My grandmother lives at the Aegis of Lynnwood. They have a courtyard with all grassy areas and a garden. I've been to their outdoor area to visit her most recently during COVID, and it was very nice. The staff members are doing a fine job. She has a very nice room, but she's almost 100, so she had to downsize to a studio. She used to have a room off of the courtyard. She had a patio that went out into their center courtyard area, and it was very nice. They have lots of activities, they post pictures, and they communicate with the families very well."

"I talked to my mother at Regency on Whidbey a lot. I am probably most impressed by their staff and the dignity with which they treat people; that’s the kind of dignity you want your parents to be treated with. It would be easy to talk down to residents because they don't know what’s going on. They do make sure there are activities going on. She has had a couple of falls, and they kept us in the loop with notifications really well even from a distance; I received them here in California. They send me a calendar of what they have going on each month, which helps to be able to have conversations with my mom while knowing what’s happening. I appreciate that. The facility is clean, no smell. It is probably not as fancy as other facilities in terms of setup and decoration. The way that they served the meals and the snacks is plain, like you're in your own home. I think she feels as at home as she could. The place is a good size; it’s neither too big nor too small, and it's all on one level. I know my mother is happy there. It’s clean, and they are very nice too. "

"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. "

"Room is nice clean, warm and light. Quiet being a smaller amount of people. Staffed well at all times.We have our mother here now after a 1 1/2 years at another well known place which was a disaster minimum care and 200 plus people. Very hectic but now it is peaceful and she enjoys joining at mealtime and other functions. Food has been good and variety of meals. This has also made me and my wife’s retirement years enjoyable knowing that she has great care and compassion from the staff. Ashly has all employees of Longhouse On same page as management. We recommend checking Longhouse out and seeing the difference. Rick"

"I went to Laurel Cove Community. The people were very friendly and they seemed to be very busy. The staff was very nice. The young woman was sitting at the desk immediately came up and said, "Hi, can I help you?" Everywhere we went it was nice and you felt very comfortable. I liked the room there. On the outside, it doesn't look like much, but when you walk in, it's a completely different feeling. The menus look good. They showed us the menus, and we were there each time at almost lunchtime. Their residents seemed to go to lunch between 11:00 and 1:00. The food smelled fantastic, but we didn't eat any of it."

"I have been providing services to The Cottages at Marysville for many years now. I have to say that their excellence is only exceeded by their compassion. From the top down the team is a class act full of committed professionals. Words like kindness, patience, altruism, helpfulness, family and understanding come to mind when I think of the way all the staff interacts with all the residents. I highly recommend The Cottages at Marysville when it comes time for when you and your loved ones are in need of a safe, loving, clean and compassionate place ."

"Everett Gold Care is a small homecare facility, and they have six people there. They have more personalized care per person. We chose it because of availability, and it was more open to mom's condition. The other ones that we looked at did not have a memory care unit, and even the ones that did didn't have available space, so we were forced to go with this one, which turned out to be a good choice on our part. It's top-notch, clean, and sterile. The owner was very diligent about how she kept the place. Everything was done professionally. They had physical therapists come in a couple times a week and help with mobility. They have a large deck which affords the residents a chance to go out, get some fresh air, and enjoy the sun. The owner made all the food from scratch, so it wasn't commercialized at all. There were no instant meals. She cooked extraordinarily well. Nutrition wise, the people there are getting top-notch food. "

"While researching memory care homes for a respite stay for my mom, Whispering Willow was one of a long list of places in western Washington that I was called. When I called I spoke with the marketing director, Kristie. Not only was she friendly and helpful with all of my questions, but she really went 'over-and-beyond'. Why do I say this? As it turns out, her facility wasn't a fit for my mom. However, that didn't prevent her from spending quality time with me and helping with a related challenge I was facing. I took action on her suggestion and got such a positive result that I reached back out to her to thank her. She genuinely asked to stay in touch. Wow! In today's healthcare arena, it is (unfortunately) rare to find such kindness, caring, and genuine desire help - regardless if my mom becomes a resident or not. I was so impressed that I offered to write this review. While I cannot say anything about the facility (since I never toured it), I can say that if Kristie is symbolic of the caring and attention available at Whispering Willows, then this is a place for you to check out."

"My family member has dementia, so he’s not a good one to say what it is like at Arbor Village. All I know is that he likes the food. He thinks he does not need certain services, but that is because he has dementia. I think he is really getting what he needs, and they are fine. If there were any extra costs, they should have been very clear with him because he didn’t realize that he had to pay extra for some things. "
