Stafford Suites

Stafford Suites had both independent and assisted living. I liked it, but the rooms seemed a little dated, and I was looking for something with newer cabinets. I sat down with one of the directors who mentioned that the senior center is nearby, so they had a lot of activities for the people who live there. When I walked in, it seemed really clean and nice. The only drawback for me was the rooms needed a little bit of updating. Everyone was so friendly, and the person I spoke with was super nice and followed up with me after I visited. I had a really good feeling about them, and they're on the top of my list.

My father is in Stafford Suites. He has been there for six years. Stafford Suites has always been kind of a bright area. I like the fact that it is not dark. The caregivers are very friendly and knowledgeable. The set-up is really nice. They have entertainment for the people. They have trips to the stores or other places. What I like best is that the caregivers, in spite of the fact that it is not Alzheimer's care unit at all, they accommodated dad because he has been there for so long. I have always been really happy with him there. I am extremely pleased with their care level.

We have our parents settled in at Stafford Suites. It was a little bit smaller than some of the bigger communities. My parents said it felt more homey than the others and that some of the fancier ones felt like a nice hotel but not a home. This one seems more like a home to them, they said. The cost too was very doable as compared to some of the others. They were very nice. Strafford Suites fits my parents’ budget. They have a two-bedroom apartment and have schedules every day for activities and exercise. They go on outings in their own bus to different places. Right next to them is the Kent Senior Center, so they have more activities right next door if they can’t find what they want to do there. There’s a schedule posted every morning with all the events going on during the day.

Stafford Suites is the one my mom chose after looking at a few others. That is the one she likes. It is great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice. She is in a one-bedroom apartment. Everyone seems to have a great time. They all go on their activities together. I've eaten with her a few times, and the food is good. It's been great.
