Nursing Home Communities in Shoreline, WA

"We are happy with the staff and the care here. People are friendly and the leadership really cares about how their patients are doing. They have care conference meetings for patients and family/friends and take time to answer questions. This has been a hard time for our family and we really appreciate the help and support we have received. I am so glad my mom is there! "

"I was a client of Prestige Care and Rehabilitation of Edmonds for 8 months. Although, the building was not very pretty, it was not important because when I was there, I was comfortable in my room, the nurses were wonderful and aides were great. I was very well taken care of. "

"This facility appears to provide good care. Special services are available for those who need them, including physical therapy. The physical therapy provided was evidently of good quality. The facility also offers a variety of other special services, including occupational therapy, speech therapy, dentistry, podiatry, and nursing care, each of which is available only for those who need those particular services. No evidence of injury to any resident was demonstrated. Staff members were pleasant and acted friendly. House rules required some restriction of residents' freedoms, such as an inability to go out alone. Not all residents were pleased by the rules.Rooms are shared between two people; when occupancy of the facility is relatively high, residents have roommates whom they do not know. This is not popular with everyone. Curtains can be drawn between beds to provide some privacy. In-room television screens allow residents to entertain themselves alone with a variety of interesting programs if they choose to do so. Magazines are available for those who like reading and are able to see well enough to do it.A variety of nutritious food was available. Favorable comments on the food were heard.The St. Anne center is recommended. "

"Amazing!!!! My loved one didn't want to go anywhere else! "

"It was a decent place. The nursing staff was helpful as was the rehab, he made a full recovery. The rooms from what I saw were very clean. A nice dining hall with TVs and board games. Each room had cable television. The place was very secure, the front door had a keypad lock to prevent some of the more elderly folks from making an unauthorized departure. My father stayed there for about a month and a half. When he got back they would send out a physical therapist to continue with his rehabilitation. I visited about 2-3 times a week and all in all from my limited experience I would rate it at a 4. The only downside I could really think of would be the food, but thats to be expected, it's a nursing home not a restaraunt. "

"The Hearthstone assisted living center in Seattle was a welcoming environment that provided a continuum of care. The facility is located along Green Lake, which provides a number of recreational and fitness opportunities. The staff at Hearthstone seemed warm, caring, and helpful. The bottom floor provided communal areas for eating, as well as numerous scheduled activities. The cafeteria and common furniture seemed clean and up to date, the piano was in tune, and the plaques provided a community feeling. Sign in at a monitored front desk was polite, but provided security. Progressive care levels increased at higher floor levels. More independent living areas had a social atmosphere and were personalized with decorations. All the staff I encountered in the halls seemed genuine and compassionate. Based on my impressions as a visitor to this facility, it is one of the nicest assisted living centers I've seen. "

"When I visited Manor Care I perceived an immutable feeling of optimism which permeated the environs. The elderly residents generally exuded a jolly aura and the nursing staff seemed highly motivated. I served as a volunteer at the facility and while some of the CANs were rude, the majority of them were very patient and appreciative of my efforts. The food they served was from Cisco, a major food distributer, and seemed bland but not offensive. The lighting on the lower floor was mellow but not depressing but the upper floor had very dim lighting which gave the floor a rather melancholy vibe which was underscored by the fact that terminal residents were housed on the floor. The second floor was not all bad, one of the friendlies nurses worked at the station on that floor and she would chat with the residents in her spare time. Overall, I was impressed with Manor Care but there was still room for improvement in their lighting and food. "

"My husband was in Columbia Lutheran Home. All of them were so kind, patient, and helpful. They had a terrific room for the exercises he needed for rehab, and good equipment, and they were also encouraging, so it was good. He shared a room with another man. They got along just fine. There was plenty of room, and the size was good. He didn't complain at all about the food. He thought it was just fine. They had church services there for Catholics, Lutherans, and whatever. They could wheel themselves around and do what they wanted, more or less, as long as they didn't do anything to hurt themselves. I thought it was a good place. They would wheel the people outside, walk around the block, or do something with the wheelchair. Other than that, I can't say anything about activities there. He was in his room most of the time, or he was getting physical therapy."

"If you have a issue with them they get it resolved very quickly. Many nice amenities "

"It's being remodeled to our specs, and we're moving in soon to Park Shore. It has the greatest views around. It's upscale. It's not dominated by people who make you feel older. It's in the middle of Madison Park, which is a nice little community away from the big city, but still close. It got all the amenities you want -- banks, Starbucks, good restaurants -- in a small community. Staff is first class all around. The only problem is parking for anybody that visits you. "

"My first impression of Bayview Manor in Seattle was that it was pretty nice looking place. I had been to two previous assisted living facilities. Bayview was much nicer than one and not quite as nice as the other. Bayview had a really friendly staff and is located in a pretty nice neighborhood. I was there to visit the grandfather of one of my best friends. He is a widower that suffered a stroke a many years ago. The food actually seemed like something I would want to eat. I really liked how well the staff was able to remember so much about the people that lived there. They almost seemed like family members. I worked for a few years as a janitor, so I am a stickler for clean bathrooms, floors, and such. Bathrooms were really clean and free of odors. The eating utensils where clean and free of water marks (my mother was a germaphobe and taught us to check the utensils first). Floors appeared to be freshly mopped/vacuumed. His actual room was pretty big. It was bigger than most rooms I've rented in apartments and house in Seattle. A lot of the old people seemed to be fairly happy (as happy as you can be in an old folks home). I guess it wouldn't be a bad place to live when that day comes for me. "

"I went to Exeter House which I sort of really like, but it used to be a resident hotel in Seattle -- and probably in the 40s I am not exactly sure many years ago -- and they have nice little apartments there and I was considering that and then I thought, I can have people come in and I can stay in my own house. The apartments were really very nice and I think financially they were probably just above the other facility. You got one meal, but you had your own kitchen whereas at the other facility you have a microwave. I was very impressed. It is right across from a city hall where they have lots of speakers, and it’s right across so you could have some intellectual stimulation other than bingo so that’s another plus to it. I think it was very good; it just wasn’t for me. They did have nice apartments, and it didn’t seem quite as cramped. "
