The Cottages of Lynnwood

Pacifica Senior Living Lynnwood was pleasant. My mom likes more of a traditional look, and this place was fairly modern. She didn't like it. It was clean and nice. The staff was very professional.

I toured Pacifica Senior Living Lynnwood. This community was small. They're like cottages with about 10 apartments. Like there's a main living area with 10 rooms on the outside, so you had your individual room. This is good for someone who is more physically disabled. The reason I went there is because it was a smaller space, and my mom wouldn't have to travel such distances to get to things, so it was nice in that regard. The bedroom had a bathroom, but there were two shared shower areas. I think that would be good for people who need assistance in the shower, but you don't get your own shower, which was kind of like a drawback. The staff who gave the tour was very nice. I think it was more assisted living-memory care, so it was more one-on-one care. The little cottages inside were really cute. They had big high windows, so lots of light. It's adorable. They didn't have air conditioning in the rooms or the building, so that was kind of a drawback.

Pacifica Senior Living Lynnwood was very, very nice and very well-kept. The floors were all in really great shape. Everything seemed very quiet and nicely put together. I liked the cottage model because the rooms were gathered around a common area that had nice furniture, a big screen TV and other activities for them, and a popcorn machine even. They were close, they were not very far apart from each other, so I liked that arrangement because my mom could step right out of her room into the common area. And the kitchen was very close and well-kept. They had a lot of really nice furnishings in the rooms. It was nice. It's going to be a memory care for my mom. There will be helpers in the cottage 24 hours a day. They're not allowed to sleep at night, so they keep an eye on them at night, too. Pacifica Senior Living Lynnwood was also in a nice little old family neighborhood.

The woman that I met at Pacifica Senior Living Lynnwood was great. She was very helpful and very professional, but they had some limitations there. They didn't have showers in their own rooms, so they had scheduled shower days. I felt the rooms were really small. Other than that, I liked that the room was kind of cottage-style. They had multiple cottages on the campus and each houses ten people. That setup was kind of nice.

Pacifica Senior Living Lynnwood was a much smaller facility and was more expensive. They have a huge community fee and they weren't going to take Medicaid for years. The rooms that they're charging quite a bit were like 300 square feet and they don't have a private shower. They were remodeling, but they were using old features. They did not have many activities except for outdoor gardening and a TV room, and only a part of the garden was fenced in. We didn't see very many staff members and residents as well.

This was my first time learning all about Assisted Living communities as I was helping my grandmother find a place that would suit her needs and lifestyle. BriAnne was my main point of contact and I wanted to write this review because of her helpfulness, kindness, and empathy throughout this process. She carefully explained how Pacifica was set up, got to know me and our family situation, and even followed up to see how we were all holding up well knowing I was visiting other communities that would better suit my grandmother. I can only imagine what a wonderful environment, staff and community it is under her leadership. Thank you BriAnne.
