Nursing Home Communities in Auburn, WA

"My Husband was in the Garden Terrace Rehab in Federal WA from the 29th of June to the 25th of July. I cannot express our Thanks for such efficient care he received during his rehab visit. I would like to express our thanks for the care from Melinda, Liz the RN and Lucy the RN also. They made his stay so enjoyable!. The rest of the staff in the Azalea Gardens were so EXCELLENT also. Too many to name, as I have forgotten there names. You folks staff the most fun loving staff. We just want to THANK YOU ALL!!! YOU FOLKS HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELVES. NEVER HAVE WE EXPERIENCED SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.!"

"They treat me really nice here. In my case I’m pretty stable but they help me make my bed and are helping me look for a home. They help me with my diabetic diet that I don’t know how to manage on my own. Nurses do their job well Jeri is the best and she does her job without asking, she is so nice to the patients. The rooms are big, I have my own tv and closet. "

"Destiny, Nisha, Lilly, and Janine are WONDERFUL!!! They are amazing at there jobs"

"We have been residents of Judson Park for six months now. We are independent living, but it has continuing care through the end of life. It's wonderful. It feels like home. Even though we have only been here for a short time, we have met and enjoyed a lot of different people and different activities. We love our apartment. Our apartment is bigger than our house in Arizona. It's only a one-bedroom, but it doesn't matter. We love it there. The activities are great. There is lots to do. They're so accommodating. If you need something, you can get it. It's an amazing place. They have many physical exercise programs. They have lots and lots of different card groups. I belong to a needlecraft group where we knit and crochet. They're remodeling an area for that sort of stuff right now to accommodate more things. They have a beautiful library. We do trips on the bus that they have. They have transportation to dental or doctor appointments. There is a woodshop. There are garden beds that you can use to plant flowers or vegetables. There are lots of spiritual activities that you can participate in if you want, but there is no pressure to do so at all. They have shopping trips and happy hours once a week for the whole community. There are lots of entertainers that come and perform for us. The staff members are fabulous. The meals are wonderful. We feel pampered every day. There are lots of choices. We have specialty meals. Once a month, they have a buffet of some kind, and usually there is a theme to it, like Mexican Night, Irish Night, or whatever. They also go all out on decorations. They make it fun and very enjoyable. The food is beyond compare; it is like going out to dinner every night at a special restaurant. We celebrated their 60th anniversary here not too long ago. They've added two full wings and a skilled nursing center as well. They keep it up very nicely. It's beautifully landscaped, and it's always clean, and they're always refreshing areas. If somebody moves out of an apartment, they would completely redo it."

"My father in law entered Judson Park from the hospital, nonresponsive and dehydrated. After one night at Judson Park, he is alert, clean shaven, hydrated, and starting to talk to us. I am so impressed with how friendly and attentive the people are-- from the housekeepers, to nursing staff, admitting staff and the doctor. "

"Great community. Went to Judson Park in the past and this place is far better. "

"Wesley has a full range of care that meets our needs, and they did a good job in matching us with the correct people. "

"We moved my mother to this facility after she was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer only 4 days before. Every one of her caregivers from the RN's to housekeeping were very helpful, informative, and attentive to my mom's every need as well as ours. Over all her treatment was stellar. The caring atmosphere was genuine. The staff were so helpful and empathetic to our situation. Even though her stay was short, every aspect of my mothers care was treated with dignity and respect. I would most certainly recommend Linden Grove to anyone who desires personalized compassionate care. "

"My husband spent 21 days in Talbot Rehab. Now, he is much better. The food was fine, it was clean, it did not have a bad odor -- some of the patients maybe that had problems -- but it was nice, and I think they did a good job. I did have trouble with the social worker not communicating with me much, but maybe that was just their way of handling it. They seem to work behind the scenes and didn't have to work with me I guess. They had a big meeting, given him tests and everything, andtold him what is what, and he has been following all the medications, so he is better. Nice rooms with a view from the floor of trees and plants, and that was nice. They had activities, and the rehab itself seemed very beneficial. They had some games and crossword puzzles, which my husband participated in. I ate lunches and dinners with him many days, and the food was good. Sometimes the help was a little strange, but I think they have a hard time finding people who want to work in places where everyone is so debilitated, but all in all it was good. It was just that the people who were serving the meals maybe were a little fresh off the boat, so they didn't understand what we were talking about. But then, when their supervisor would come along, she was great. She was always there, so you could just go to her if you are having a problem. She was part of the servers, but she was definitely in charge of everything. They had their rules, and they made people stick to them, which were good, otherwise we would kind of upset the routine. They had table heights for people with wheelchair, so that they are up closer, and you have to allow the people who need those to sit there. I thought it was very well-run. Security seemed fine, but they could be a little more. They had a patio that had a gate, a fence, and everything, but the people could have easily gotten away, so people who cannot be trusted not to wander would not do as well there. I was most impressed by the friendliness of the nurses who were actually providing care and dispensing the medications. They were very nice and easy to get along with. I liked it, and I liked the location. It was kitty-corner from the hospital, so if anybody needed 911, they would be able to take them there quickly. It used to get a bad grade, but I think they've solved the problems because the food was good, it was clean and not depressing, and it was nice. "

"My mom is a resident of Life Care Center of Puyallup. It's very good. The people there are very attentive. They're very caring and very proactive. It's a good experience for my mom, other than the fact that she's a little depressed because she's in such bad shape now, which is normal. They're really good, I really like the people there. They're very quick to address issues, because my mom has her own phone, and she's in her right mind. So, when I call her and she has any concerns, I call the front desk and ask to speak to the appropriate person. They put me right through to them and when I hang up two or three minutes later, they're in my mom's room addressing the issue, so they're really good. My mom doesn't do any of the activities, but they have a lot of good ones from what I understand. I would give them a five for activities, for all the activities I've heard of, and the things that they get in there. I can't say enough about the place. I think they're just really excellent. They provide excellent care."

"Most of the caregivers are very good, just a couple that are not quite up to par. The food is above average for institutional food, with 2 different entree options for lunch and dinner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this facility to friends and family. "

"My friend is in Avamere at Pacific Ridge under palliative care. They're keeping her drugged, so that she's not uncomfortable. That's probably the best thing about it. The facility is not as clean as I would like. She does not have a private room, and she doesn't have a TV nor a radio. She's bedridden, and she's not really lucid. They just bring the food to her, and she hates it because she doesn't have a choice."

"My mom fell, broke her hip, and went to rehab at Heartwood. It was clean and had friendly, professional staff. My mom never had any complaints about it. She is very picky, but most of the time the food was good. There were always three or four choices for the main entrée, like at dinnertime, you could have a salad or vegetable or both, so there were choices. I wouldn’t mind being there myself when the time came. The staff might have been overworked or something because we'd ask for help and it might take them awhile to get there. But on average, they’d be there in a couple of minutes. "
