The Best Senior Living Communities in Kennewick, WA

"Solstice Senior Living at Kennewick is a very nice facility. They have a very thoughtful layout and design. It helps people feel like they're not just in a retirement facility, they're in a small village. It's a very welcoming environment. They are friendly. They are caring. They want to help you with whatever your loved one needs. They have different areas like the salon, which looks like a little barber shop, and the ice cream shop is a fun little spot to have a treat, so you don't feel like you're trapped in a place you can't leave. You feel like everything you need you can get access to there. We have a couple of people who live there, and they're very happy. It's a nice place to live."

"Bonaventure of Tri-Cities was very nice, newer, and more expensive. It almost had like a hotel environment, so it was kind of a little sterile. They offered amenities, but they only offered two meals a day instead of three. The staff seemed very friendly, but I only went there twice. I thought the rooms were a little bit smaller. Obviously, they were newer, but I thought they were smaller and didn't seem to have as much storage."

"We have already placed my dad into Tri-Cities Retirement Inn. They are really good to him. He has dementia, but he thinks the people are just amazing. He is a picky food person and they make sure that he likes whatever he is going to eat. They make sure he doesn't wander. I can call and ask how my dad is, what's going on and how he is reacting, and they will let me know. With Covid, we're doing the screen visits. They're very upfront and open. The workers that I have met that work there are super nice and really caring. They will tell you how he is doing and what's going on. There are different activities that they do every day, especially at the memory care, to try to keep them thinking. However, at this point, my dad tells me, 'I really don't want to join the activities, but I really enjoy watching.' They try to encourage him to join the activities, he just doesn't want to, but they think that he'll be coming around. They go out of their way to make sure they're comfortable and have everything they need. My dad says he is in love with the food, and he is a very picky eater. They get to choose some things. They kinda know my dad and if he doesn't like it, they could tell without him ever saying it. They'll ask him, 'Well, what do you feel eating tonight?' and they will go and make it for him. They make sure that he is happy eating; that's why he says the food is fantastic and we're happy with it. It's an older facility, but it is really homey. I stopped and talked to the people in the regular section, and they just have a really homey place. My dad is in the lockdown part. Even though it is older, they make you feel comfortable there because of the way everything is set up. To me, it doesn't matter that's in an older facility because they make it more like home. It's a lot of money though because he is in the memory care."

"Love the staff here! My Dad’s been here 2+ years, and although there have been a few staff changes. They’ve all been helpful & responsive, and most of all, take great care of my Dad! They try very hard to meet his dietary needs and preferences,and secure extra medical help as necessary to keep him well. At first, my dad was the only man in his house, so he was happier when other men came, as everyone needs someone to relate to & visit with about common interests. I’d recommend From the Heart if your elder needs full time care or supervision. Each resident has their own private bedroom and bath, and has an opportunity to socialize at meal times and throughout the day in the living room, where there’s always a puzzle going, a large TV, and comfortable seating. The staff also recognizes special occasions for residents and go out of their way to make family members feel welcome! "

"My father moved to Brookdale Meadow Springs. He is there for assisted living. He is in a nice room, and it's large. He's in a studio apartment, and it is the perfect size for him. The people are very prompt when he has to call and press their call button. They do a good job and make sure that he's gotten everything he needs on that call before they leave. They see that he gets to meals in case he's asleep, and they have to wake him up and get him down there. They are very good at attending to his needs. It's a little bit of an older building, not brand-new fancy with lots of chrome and mirrors and stuff. Other than that, the place is clean and nice. I had no problems at all. I have tried their food. I had lunch there, and it was very good."

"The team was welcoming and professional, the space was clean and inviting, and the food was a delightful touch. Grateful for the time and care shown during our visit."

"We visited Brookdale Richland to see their assisted living for my father, but they did not have an apartment available in the size that he needed. They did not have any studio apartments available. They also have long hallways. It would be a nice place for someone mobile, but my father is not, so the long hallways would not have suited him. Other than that, I love the person and the management I talked to when we were there. They were very good. The rooms were quite nice, too. For a one-bedroom apartment, it had a nice-sized living room, bedroom, and bathroom. We also walked past their dining area, and it was nice. It was a very lovely and very restful-looking place."

"My brother is a resident of Sun Terrace Hermiston. The staff, even from the administration department down to the caregivers, they're all very polite, very helpful, and accommodating. You ask them a question, and if they can answer it, they will. If they can't, they will go find somebody to come talk to you that can answer your question. They all work together as a little community inside the building. They take the utmost care of their residents. They can accommodate residents to their doctor's appointments if needed. Their activity department is very active. I know my brother said that he loved the activities that they did there. The other residents can make friends with one another. It usually happens in the activity room, like my brother, he likes to play poker. So there's a few other guys in there that like to play poker. So they all would get together several times in the week and just go in the activity room and play poker amongst themselves. I would recommend people to put their loved ones in Sun Terrace Hermiston. I have tried the food on several occasions, and I was pleased with it. The other thing that they do there too is like in between meals, they have this little snack bar, like all the perishable stuff, they have ice laid out there. They go in there periodically and check it so that if the residents there get hungry in between meals, they can go there. They have a wide variety. They have fruit and vegetables, a little dessert, yogurt, milk, and cottage cheese. I've compared the price of Sun Terrace Hermiston assisted living to some of the assisted living here in Eastern Oregon, it's a little cheaper than it is here."

"We walked in Sun Terrace Prosser, and the staff were very friendly. It was clean, and we just felt comfortable as soon as we walked in the door. I like the location. They offered to help with mom's daily living. They will come and check on her, take care of her, help her shower, and take care of her medicines. We got there at lunch time, so they were in the dining room eating. They have a fromal dining room. They have an activities room. They said it was Thirsty Thursday, and in the afternoon they were going to have wine tasting. They also have crafts, and they have something scheduled for the mornings in the afternoon. They had an emergency situation while I was there, and within seconds the ambulance was called. They had everything under control within seconds. They've got shade trees around. They've got a courtyard. They've got fountains, and people can go out and sit in the shade."

"I really liked the Hawthorne Court in Kennewick. The floor plans were wonderful. It's well lit and spacious. They had a craft room. They had bingo. They had some kind of bowling. They have exercise and physical activities. I think they have a pool as well, and the activity director seems to be pretty on top of the activities that aging people can do. This is assisted living, and the rooms that they had available had a good view or a pretty view out of the two communities that I saw. I thought my mom might enjoy looking out the window."

"My husband is in WindSong at Southridge and it's great. The staff are also great; they're just wonderful. They have lots of activities because it's a Montessori-based facility, so they have residents doing lots of things to help them. It's a very new place, so they have just about everything -- and everything is new and good. They have two outdoor areas: one where they can go and calm themselves down, and one, which is a bigger place, where they go with other people. So it's very nice."

"Fieldstone Memory Care Kennewick was a nice place. I liked that it was laid out a little bit better than the other facility. But the location was not convenient for us to go and see my mom. I liked the rooms better. They had a little more privacy, even though they were shared rooms. The staff did a good job. The second time we went there, we talked to one of the nurses, and she gave us a lot of information we needed to know. They had a pharmacy there. They have a kind of a theme setting in their building. They got a movie theater and stuff that my mother would be interested in."

"I like the fact that Affinity at Southridge is all inclusive with many amenities, except the meal plan. I'm independent enough to have my own kitchen and do my own cooking. It was also the only place that had that combination. The building is eight years old, but I didn't realize it was that old because the upkeep has been good. My apartment is so nice and clean. I actually thought the washer and dryer were new; but in fact, it came with the apartment eight years ago. Certainly the leasing agent has been very friendly and helpful. I appreciate her help. I haven't participated in any activities yet, but it looks like they have a lot of activities for the residents. There is a library, crafts, woodworking, a pub that serves meals, a saltwater indoor pool, outdoor barbecue facilities, and a lot more. I've been impressed with everything I've seen so far."
