The Best Memory Care Communities in King County, WA

"We went to El Dorado West. It looked nice, the people seemed nice, and I liked everything about it, but it was out of our price range. The room was great. It was actually nice. If we could afford it we would have chosen that place."

"Aegis Living Lake Union was perfect for my husband. It was just a month of respite, but he didn't want to come home. He had a lovely accommodation in that it wasn't down a long and dark hallway or something that looked like a Holiday Inn. It was just such nice accommodation. I would have to say it was expensive, but for the eight years that I haven't had any kind of respite for him, where I could go away, I figured it was worth it. Aegis Living Lake Union was great. My husband would love to go back, but it was maybe more expensive than we can afford. I like how professionally they brought us in for the initial moment we arrived. It was family-oriented. They were caring about me, and they were caring about him. The whole entryway of the place is conducive to that. It's very welcoming. It's kind of like a special hotel as opposed to just a desk where you walk up. It was lovely. More than one person came from the office and met with us and asked us what we were interested in, and they listened. The most important thing was that they clearly listened instead of just putting on a sales pitch. My husband stayed there like a resident. They gave him an apartment. He had his own bathroom and a place for a refrigerator. They showed us three or four rooms that he could have, and we chose the quieter one. So, he had a lovely room that looked out on trees and everything. It was good for him. They went overboard with any accommodation. Like he couldn't use the television remote very well, so they got one that had big numbers on it, so he could see it better. They facilitated it within minutes of our asking or mentioning that he had difficulty with it. They made calls, and in two days, it arrived. That's the kind of service it offers. It was truly amazing. Overall, my husband thought everyone was fantastic. Whenever I was there, I would say the same. They have a very special chef from the Metropolitan. He was a chef downtown in Seattle in a restaurant everyone knows. He is probably one of the best. The food was so good. He had his choice of whatever. If he wanted a sandwich, he could have it. He can have anything, and they said that 24 hours a day, he could order from the kitchen. The building looks brand new, but it's been there for a little while. It's a LEED-certified business, so everything is up to the standards that they have for recycling water. They recycle all their gray water. It's amazing. It's super clean. It's exceptional. I've visited a couple of others, and I saw what their activities were about, and what a difference! Here, they have a grand piano in the foyer as you go in there. There is a sort of common area. It's very welcoming. They have a cafe where anyone can walk up and get espresso, regular coffee, and tea. You can just go up, and you don't have to ask anybody. It's not hard to find, too. The way it's designed is that they have big windows, so that the nature, the trees, and everything reflect right into the space. My husband is not someone to come and listen to music, but in the afternoons, they have a variety of live music throughout the week. Someone either plays the grand piano, or people come in and play violin from the symphony. It was amazing. Every day, they have these games and things that you could participate in if you want to, or you could just sit there and read the paper. They have Jeopardy games, and they were fun and easy for people to do. A lot of participants came down. Another feature about this is that it has 51% men, which is unusual. They weren't necessarily impaired. Some were, of course, but many of them were widows who didn't want to keep up their homes anymore. They knew they were getting into their 80s and wanted to make sure they didn't fall or whatever, and so here they came, and it was great. My husband made a lot of friends, which was amazing."

"We chose Sunrise of Bellevue for our daughter. We spoke to a number of places and we liked the people at Sunrise best. It's a wonderful place. It's well maintained, it's got nice stuff in it, and it's a very nice place. The food is excellent, and it's got a good variety, and a good quality of food."

"I had a nice visit here. They were very cordial and pleasant. The whole place was very nice and attractive. It was very clean with a lovely setting, and it felt welcoming. "

"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."

"Village Concepts of Fairwood is a beautiful facility. It's brand new. It felt like you were in a very nice country club house. It was very quiet, except when you're on the outside. It's very noisy because you're on a very busy street, and I didn't like that. The rooms were beautiful. They had a one-bedroom with a den, which mom really liked. She liked the one that had a view of the golf course and a little tiny patio, where you could go and sit outside. We only got to meet one person, who was the manager. She was super friendly and helpful. I would have liked to meet more staff, though."

"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."

"Aegis of Marymoor is a very nice facility and they take good care of my brother. We've been very pleased. We don't have any complaints so far. The food is pretty good. There are a lot of activities that people can get involved in. They have outings and a whole program going on. He is pretty out of it, so there are limited activities that he can do, but the people seemed pretty happy. They do a good job. The staff has been great, they're always right there, they check on him frequently, and they're very interactive. They have a good chef there. The facilities are beautiful. It's like a mini lodge and I really like it. It has a very warm and inviting feeling. The price is right in there with everybody else, and it all depends on how much care he is given."

"Aegis Living of Issaquah looks like a great facility. I got the impression that the people there had activities to do and people were attentive. I thought that looked like a good facility. We also toured another place that seemed kind of depressing, like the memory care folks were just kind of shoved in the basement. This place seemed like there were nice big windows so they could look outside of the trees. It's very beautiful. There was a nice porch where they could sit outside. The residents seemed to get along with each other. It was pleasant and the staff seemed to be supportive. They didn't just kind of shove them in front of a TV. They were engaging. The facility is a decent size. It's bigger than some of the other places that I've seen. It's not the biggest, but not the smallest. They have a really nice dining room on the main floor that you would use if the family came to visit and you wanted to have everybody sit around a table. They had some kind of board games as well."

"I went to Peters Creek Retirement, Assisted Living and Memory Care. They were a quieter, smaller community. My sister also came on that tour. She was impressed because the parking was very close to the front door. She's handicapped, so it was a very short walk into the building and into the main area. The room that we selected for my mom was right next to the office. Parking was very close to the entrance. That was one of the main things that sold her on the community is her access. The person that assisted us was absolute five stars. She was a sweet, kind, caring, and vibrant. The facility was immaculate. The dining room was very close to the rooms, especially the room we selected for my mom; it's not a very far walk. They have physical therapy in-house, and they have a pharmacy, which is nice. They have a hair salon, and then they have a podiatrist that comes in. The food smelled good too. Based on our needs, I think it will be a very nice place for my mom. I think she will get absolute 100% personal attention. My mom has limited mobility and my sister, and it's a perfect spot for people with limited mobility because it is a smaller facility. They have transportation to doctor's and dentist's appointments, and they will do her laundry every week for an additional fee of 60 bucks a month, which is absolutely reasonable."

"It's the place to live! Management is fantastic! Living Conditions are Fantastic! Staff Fantastic. Everything just works together to make a great community!"

"I would love to be here. The people felt really at home. They had an elevator, and it's secure. Everything was right there. You don't have to worry about taking out your garbage. There were places in the hallway where you open the door and put them down the chute. You could buy stuff from the vending machines. It was too new to improve on anything -- maybe the food. "
