Memory Care Communities in Oak Harbor, WA

"Arlington is a great town and Cascade Valley Senior Living is a great clean facility. Their quality was very comparable to others. The floor plan was very adequate. It was clean. We didn't see a lot of clutter. The room layout was fine. I was looking for access to maneuverability. The staff was helpful, pleasant, and caring."

"My mom will move into Fieldstone Memory Care of Marysville. It was very nice. It is beautiful. I was very impressed with the furnishings. It's very clean, homely, and comfortable. The staff was nice and very professional, answered all my questions, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and seemed to be very caring. The dining area looked nice. They were all involved. They were exercising, and they were sitting in a chair doing some dancing. It was fun. They seemed to be having a good time."

"The staff at Summer Hill was great. They answered questions. I have a few concerns about whether or not they could keep up with the medical needs that my stepdad has, but I've been assured that that would not be a problem. They came across as very friendly and it's a very active place. I think my folks would be happy there, except they have a little dog, and I'm not sure that they would be able to get the little dog to and from outside. Most of the rooms are on the second story, but there's an elevator, so that's fine. Summer Hill accepts pets. We're looking at a one-bedroom, and they had them on the first floor. They had more common spaces and more activities than the other places."

"My husband is at San Juan Villa. It's not convenient because I'm in Port Angeles, but that's not their fault. I have no complaint. The staff is wonderful. I think he's very happy there. He thinks of it as home. It is particularly nice because it's set up for dementia care where they have plenty of room to walk. My husband walks all day, and he can go outside because there's a large outside area, a garden, and an orchard area. So that's why I moved them there from Port Angeles. The cost was better than the facilities here for the same benefits. In terms of upkeep, it's good. They've always gone out of their way to be helpful. My husband looks well cared for, always dressed nicely and I think there's good interaction. He knows the people and he's comfortable. Activities are great, too. My husband is really into the activities and is always involved. In terms of value for money, no matter what you do, it is incredibly expensive and hard to swallow, but that is what it is. However, I would say, for their level of service, their rates are good. They deliver as much as they can."

"Our mother is at Lighthouse. She has been there for about six months, and we are very pleased with the care and concern she is shown. She can be a handful, and the staff is patient and knowledgeable about how to handle their residents. The facility is very clean, the food is good and there are plenty of activities that almost anyone can participate in. Recently we were treated to a beautiful piano recital by a very accomplished classical pianist high-school student. There is an enclosed outdoor courtyard, and the circular design allows residents to walk (or wheel) around safely and get some exercise. "

"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."

"We have chosen Creekside Continuing Care Community and the big selling point was two things. I have a 94-year-old brother that's close by to that. The other thing is they have cottages, which is a good transition for us. Creekside has 29 cottages that surround the main big building, and I'm still independent, but my wife needs more care. We both love the idea of being in the cottage yet still being able to walk up a few steps and have all of the advantages of the food, programs, and exercise. Everyone was nice. The food was quite good. They have a big dining room with white tablecloths and then they have two other little restaurants there that you can go to if you don't want to go to the main dining room and you can do that for 10 to 12 hours a day. The facility was nice. It has a small-town atmosphere and there are a lot of restaurants and stores nearby, not that you would need them because everything's furnished. The cottage is large enough that I can take my baby grand piano with me. I was very impressed with the wide hallways and decent-sized rooms and banisters all along when you walk down and clean, with no smells. The staff was friendly."

"My dad moved into Birchview, it's definitely setup for memory care, and it's kind of depressing. However, the facility is beautiful, and they have beautiful grounds. The workers were lovely and caring people. There's an upstairs dining room which is small. I didn't really like it, the food is not very good. The meals are the biggest complaint of the people there. The girl who runs the activity is really sweet, amazing, and has great energy. They take them out for trips, and they have singing. The activities are great."

"Kathy, RN, is courteous, conscientious, and friendly. "

"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. "
