Nursing Home Communities in Shoreline, WA

"I recently was able to visit Aldercrest again and I have to say I am overjoyed with the good changes I see!! The last time I visited the top person there was very rude to me because I asked a question. I see he is no longer there. The place is so clean now, before it looked and felt dirty. The staff is happy and very helpful and were so polite. My friend was painting a craft when I arrived and they have a cute garden area. This place deserves 10 stars for the improvements its made!!!!!!! so glad to see this company cares about taking care of people the right way!!!!!"

"This is probably the nicest building I’ve seen for nursing homes. It doesn’t smell, and the staff for the most part seem to care. Considering the crazy time we are all living in, I feel they are doing the best they can"

"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! "

"My Mom stayed her for 3 months due to a broken femur. She started in a double room then moved to a private room. The staff there are very caring and attentive. Her bed was comfortable and they kept is low as she was a fall risk. The activities director is wonderful and got my mom to attend some activities during her stay. They have bingo, trips, movies, etc. The food is ok, breakfast is one of the best meals. You can select your menu every week. They have other options to take if you do not like what is offered. She had stayed at another facility in the area prior. This one was much better for my mom's condition (dementia) and they had better ways of getting her to try PT and OT. "

"I was in Hearthstone for 4 weeks of rehab following a hospital stay for surgery. I was in a double room but never had a roommate. It was quiet and comforting once I adjusted to the daily routine. Meals were brought to my room by very friendly Caretakers. They also aided me in showering and bathing in the most gentle and caring manner. I was receiving antibiotics by IV administered three times daily. The nurses were very competent and were genuinely interested in my progress. The PT and OT therapy provided was professional and comprehensive. I have to thank the entire staff at Hearthstone's rehab unit for an excellent stay and launching me toward a full recovery."

"AKA Careless Manner... Our dad was transferred the Manorcare AKA Careless Manner on high recommendations. It was our first family experience of touring and then admitting a family member to a SNF...so you be the judge: took over 2 hours upon arrival for my dad to get any personal attention. no formal care plan 100% NPO not observed! OMG 3 times while we were in dad's room Na's came in with ENSURE and Water for my dad! My dad, confused from stroke, could have seriously drowned, had he accepted it...esp. If had we NOT been there to observe. feeding peg tube was not flushed after use, pretty basic... failed to change simple 4x4 bandage at feeding peg tube, even after the initial change was so smelly, as they left in on without changing for over a day and a half. (Hospital recommended 2x daily) next day, RN was asked by family 5 times in 6 hours to change bandage as the smell was getting bad again--she never did by the time we left ...then we were informed in middle of night peg tube area was infected and they sent him to ER. 2nd day I arrived at 9am and my dad was not not checked by a Na or Lpn/RN until 4pm--this was a norm...My dad was incontinent at that time, so we had to change his overly wet briefs... not attentive to his specific needs. during a training session with new Na's one girl wouldn't even come close enough to bed while they turned my dad on his side...what a safety issue! saftey issues: I found my dad's bed high off ground and my dad was falling out of bed, I caught him before he fell. (He was high risk of moving, so bed was always to be left at floor level.) failed to keep dad at recommended 30% grade for breathing and preventation of choking. nursing supplies were just thrown into room everywhere, some on the floor, no order. As there appears to be no set care plans and order to patient care, hence, "Careless Manner," we as a family had to station several of us there in shifts from 9am to 9pm when we could. We kept notes of care given and needed amongst ourselves so the next family member knew what to request... After they sent him to ER, my dad spent a week in the hospital . He is now being cared for at a professional SNF. ;) There definitely is a management problem at this location. PS: Manorcare was fully aware of my dad's condition, and his special needs. They visited him in the hospital prior to admitting, AND they had his hospital records for review and approval... "

"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."

"There is great therapy here. Patients are in and out before you know it if they work hard. Activities, food, and staff are great too! They have private rooms unlike any other place I’ve seen! "

"My husband was in Park Shore for rehab for one month. It's a full care facility, from independent living to nursing community and rehabilitation. It was really good, and I'd like my husband to be there, but they didn't have any rooms. They had to take their clients first before they can take anyone from the outside, but they loved him and he loved them, too. Even though they managed to vaccinate everyone twice, they wouldn't let me in the front door. My husband came out of there fully vaccinated. He also had occupational and physical therapy. They helped him to a point where he could not even stand on his own to be able to walk in a cane."

"I really liked Bayview Retirement Community. It had a beautiful lobby and a friendly atmosphere. It’s very clean; the staff is great. "

"With its beautiful views of the city this place is so upscale that you would expect to see a star walk out the front door. The staff is exceptional and full of life. They offer the residents more to do than there are hour's in the day. The outings that the residents go on are great and they offer the residents the opportunity to live independabtly and on their own. They are so warm and loving. "
