The Best Memory Care Communities in Kitsap County, WA

"I went to Aegis Living Ballard. The place was fabulous. It's like living in a hotel. The staff was exceptionally wonderful. They were friendly. They came to us, introduced themselves, told us where they worked, and what they did. The dining area was beautiful. Their activities look like a lot of fun. Everybody looked like they were doing things, and that's what my husband needs. The facility is gorgeous."

"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 is the best choice available for me. They have daily activities like lectures. I do not attend most of them. The food is fine. It has been positive. I have been living here for two months. "

At Emerald City Senior Living, our community's culture is built on helping our residents find their happiest, healthiest selves. After hearing from multiple new residents that they were concerned about getting involved and making new friends, we formed a resident ambassador program, which pairs each new resident with an ambassador who helps them acclimate to Emerald City, engage in activities and events, and volunteer in the local community. A lot of our residents want to stay active, even during the dreary, rainy, Seattle winters, so we formed an indoor walking club and indoor gardening club, so they can appreciate the outside, inside. We also noticed that a lot of our residents were traveling to doctor's appointments and therapy visits, so now we're proud to offer a visiting physician service along with an in-house, on-site therapy facility, so our residents can get the care they need, right here, at home.In short, when our residents talk, we listen. If you or a loved one are looking for a senior living community where residents are respected and heard, we'd love to meet you. Contact us today to schedule a tour.To learn more about this providers license and review other available state reports, please visit: Washington State Department of Social and Health Services Long-Term Care Residential Options

"I had an in-person tour of Laurel Cove Community. It was really, really friendly. Everybody seemed to know people's names, and they chatted with each other. I liked how in the memory care, the doors open out into a hallway, and that you can't get lost getting to the activities room and eating area. I saw their activities calendar, and I actually saw one of the activities. The people were sitting around and laughing. The woman doing the tour asked them what they were doing, and they said they were talking about their childhood. Everybody was so engaged. I liked the courtyard. The rooms are big. The staff was friendly and nice. They knew the people who lived there. It was a homier feeling. The facility wasn't quite as fancy, but it's very clean and updated."

"The rooms are very nice. Food is moderately good. The staff is wonderful."

"I toured their independent living section of The Watermark at Bellevue, and it's very nice and very high-end. As a matter of fact, up on the top floor, they have a penthouse there for $12,000 a month. The lower floors are cheaper. For people who like city life, it's like living in a big city where you have to pay for parking, and that's not my cup of tea. I want something more rural where I can drive in, drive out, and not have to pay for parking. I'm just more of a suburban type. It was very nice, though. I've been there twice, and their food was excellent. The facilities were very nice because they're new, so everything was perfect."

"What I liked about Scriber Gardens is that the facility is well-kept even though it is not a newer facility. They said it used to be a nursing home years ago and they just completely remodeled it. The rooms are very large (I think because it is an older building). They have a good layout. The grounds are nice. There are nice walking paths and places to go outside so you don't have to stay inside all the time. They also have a great activity center. I've been in some nursing homes for other people and the people that are working in some of these nursing homes are not enthused, but the people at Scriber Gardens seem to be genuinely more caring. They have good staff and there are not too many people. On top of the independent living, I liked that they have a memory care wing, too, that's got all the safeguards in place so no residents can wander off."

"GenCare LifeStyle at Point Ruston was beautiful, but it was just a little too above the price point. The staff members are wonderful, caring people, they are. The rooms were very nice. Everybody has their private bedroom in their shared rooms, but they share the bathroom. You walk through a door and there's the bathroom off to the left, and then there's a door for one resident's room and then the next door to another door for the other resident's room. They're kind of private, but they share a bathroom, and that was nice. They have a deck because they're up on the third floor. They can also go down to the courtyard, but they have to be escorted. They were wonderful and genuinely caring. The residents seemed to be very happy there."

"I am the responsible party for a friend with advanced dementia who has resided at Olympic for over 3 years. I live at a considerable distance, but my friend is visited about twice a month by others in her friendship network, who give me feedback. While there has been some variability in care and staff satisfaction, usually correlated with who was in leadership at the time, there have been no times in which I was concerned that my friend was being neglected. I call in at various times, including weekends, to check in on my friend and the staff are informed and concerned.. I am impressed that the staff treat the residents as individuals. They use redirection and other techniques to soothe residents and deescalate problem behaviors. This facility has somewhat more limited services than others that are 100% private pay. Given the resources available, I am very satisfied. My friend receives kind and appropriate care from the staff, her medical needs are identified and addressed promptly, the facility is clean and odor free, and the staff maintain an emotionally positive atmosphere.. I am relieved and grateful that my friend, who is now on Apple Health (Medicaid) is here as opposed to some other similarly funded facilities. "

"I went and visited a friend at Aegis. It was always immaculate and attractively decorated. I had seen various activities there that included the people. I tried the food, and it was very good. The apartment had a living room with a little kitchenette, and then there's a bedroom and bathroom. The staff was always pleasant and very caring with the people. If I would be going to a nursing care, I would very likely pick that one because my friend lived there and because it was very nice, healthy, clean, and they had nice activities. The setting was good. "
