Nursing Home Communities in Federal Way, WA

"I thought my son had good care at North Auburn, and I don't have complaints with the staff. They were very good and very friendly to him. The food was good and had a nice variety with a choice of three juices, hot chocolate, or coffee while waiting for the meals. He was in a shared room that they did a good job keeping it and the room him clean."

"The place my sister is at is the Regency Auburn. It is pretty much like most nursing homes. She is in a double room, and it is pleasant. It has a window, small with 2 people in it, and it has a couple of generous closets and a shared bathroom -- very basic and very plain. She has just been there for 1 day. The staff is friendly, but there are too many patients for the amount of staff. The food is regular nursing home fare. I’ve been to there to see my sister once when she was eating lunch, and I think she thought that her lunch was OK. They need more staff to care for the patients. Also, my sister needed a special bed, and that wasn’t provided adequately, so I think they need to provide better equipment. "

"Overall good place for my Dad and he really like the rehab. Not the Ritz but had good staff that took care of him. The doctor and nurse practitioner are in the building if you need anything. Will return if he ever needs a rehab place again. Only issue was the lack of parking. "

"My experience is quite positive as most if not all of the staff communicates well with my wife and has shown nothing but complete courtesy to me and my son. From the time she started 2 years ago to the present I enjoy taking my son to pick her up as the residents enjoy talking with him and making them smile. The staff enjoy his laughter and him sharing his Lego creations as well as his funny dance moves. From what I have heard the residents share their opinions on how well the facility treats them and makes them feel at home. With this said their experience at Wesley homes is positive and they have stated that they would like to extend the information of the facility to their friends and family. Overall my complete experience with how the facility is run and how well my wife has been treated I would attempt to have people that I know either work there or live there. "

"staff were great. food was good. great team workers."

"Wesley Homes is more of a retirement home than assisted living. It was magnificent and nice. They had a swimming pool, and my mom’s bank is open once a week there. It was just a beautiful, gorgeous facility. The place was like a five-star resort. They have well-organized activities and management. It was everything anybody could want when you look at the facility and see how well it was being managed and how the people appeared interested. "

"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."

"Franke Tobey Jones Retirement Estates was immaculate. There was a lot of variety in where you could live, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and studio. The upkeep was very good. The grounds were well taken care of, and there are a lot of paths to walk. There's a library, exercise rooms, and woodshop. The staff was very accommodating, very nice, and very friendly. The rooms for the most part were very spacious. There were good kitchen facilities and storage. The layout of the rooms was good."

"The Facility is very clean and newly updated. About two years ago I was working for a construction company and we did a full renovation on the whole building. I painted all the bed rooms and updated them so they are more convenient and easier on the eyes they are very soothing colors which relaxes you and makes you feel more comfortable. While I was there I met many of the nurses, doctors and other staff. Every one was very friendly and took very good care of the patients. I have been in a couple other facilities and I dont think they were as nice as this one. Cedar park is located along a main bus route and has very easy free way access so it is very easy to get to and very easy to visit even if you dont have a car. I would recommend this place to any of my friends for their parents and I would even consider bringing my parents here in the future if needed. "

"She went into Linden Grove Rehabilitation Care Center. It has two sides to it. My mom was in their star therapy which is rehabilitation. She has broken her hip. And the other side is for people who need a lot of care. Linden Grove was a great facility; it was top notch all the way around. The grounds were great. The people were wonderful. The building itself -- not only the residents’ room but the common rooms and the eating facility -- was very clean. It’s rehabilitation, so she shared a room with another resident. My mom happened to get a bed by the window so she had an extra alcove with a desk in it which was really nice. The food was good. I didn’t eat there myself, but I was there a couple of times when they were serving a meal. Everything looked wonderful and smelled good. My mom really enjoyed the food there. She did games, bingo, cards, and went to a movie within the facility. They also did field trips. She got to go to a Country Manor and tour in the area. The people treated our mom like she was a queen. They have a social worker who helped us tremendously in getting my mom Medicaid/Medicare and all of that stuff taken care of, an activity director who keeps the folks pretty busy, and a medical record section that helps set up her appointment if she needed to go to the doctor and transportation. My mom felt very much like the people there cared about her. One nurse in particular (and it’s funny because this is the one that my mom didn’t get her name, but when she was on the night shift at bedtime) would tuck my mom in and give my mom a hug and a kiss. We did notice that some of the patients had smiles on their faces; it was a really nice atmosphere. "

"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 friend ended up at Heartwood Extended Healthcare. It was so different from assisted living because so many couldn’t walk. But they did have activities scheduled for everyday, and those who could can partiipate did. The people were very professional, and it did appear that there were more of them. They didn’t have telephones or TVs in the room, and you have to pay additional for those items. You have to provide your own TV and then pay $20 a month. They had landlines, but you still pay $20 more a month for that also, but that is not on the website. However, Heartwood was warmer feeling that the other facility. They were much better than the other facility. They had good therapy. I was pleased with the food, but again, she got food that she should not have been given. But I would say their social worker was so much better than the one at the other facility. She took at least an hour to explain everything, and she was extremely professional with that. "

"My husband is currently staying at Life Care Center in Puyallup, WA. This is his second time being there. The staff is outstanding and the care he has and is receiving is the best. They are very caring people, from the front desk to the kitchen help. The building is older but it is clean and there are no smells. I would recommend this care center to everyone. "
