Senior Living in Mason County, WA

"I will be moving into The Firs. I can be independent, but I can also change if I need to. We can hire somebody to come in, and they have nurses available. The staff was so friendly, and even the people that lived there were happy. They would tell us, "I like living here," and that makes a lot of difference. We chose The Firs over the other place because of the room. I've got a quilting machine that's 12 feet long and the room at the other place wasn't gonna be big enough for what I needed. The common areas were really nice and very well maintained."

"My father moved into The Hampton Memory Care. We chose it because of the price. We like the staff. They are amazing. The place is clean. It doesn't have any bad smells. They take very good care of the residents. They've been awesome at getting my dad's meds leveled out. When Dad went in, he wasn't very coherent. He's now talking where we can understand him. He's eating well. They're just taking very good care of him. My dad's not a picky eater, so he's eating everything they're putting in front of him."

"I visited Olympics West Retirement Inn. They were all very, very friendly and knowledgeable about the care. The studio was small. The regular room was almost like a hotel room, but it was nice. The upkeep was very good. It's an older building, but the interior looked great. The grounds were well developed and kept well. That was a very, very nice tour. They were knowledgeable and helpful. They invited me for lunch. It was tasty, but it had very small portions. They have a grand piano in their social room. It was a wonderful, beautiful place. It was like you were in a very luxurious home."

"I toured Revel Lacey, and one thing I liked about it was it's a newer building. It's only about 6 years old. I like their meal hours. Their meal hours are 7 in the morning till 7 at night, so you're not locked into a set time to eat. They've got two different restaurant facilities. One is kind of like a bistro and one's more formal. So, if you want breakfast at 10:00 in the morning you're not locked in, and what other places are doing is 8, 12, and 5. You've got all day to get your meals. I had clam chowder, and it was very good. What they do is give you like 520 points a month for food. Their menus are served with a point factor when you order. The clam chowder was five points, and then other things were 5 or 10 points, depending on what you wanted. It's like using dollars except for points. They were very nice. They showed me a studio apartment that fits my queen sized bed, and it's got a wall partition to separate from the living room. It opens into the kitchen area, but you can put a curtain over it and make it more private. Each unit has its own washer and dryer, so you don't have to go down and use a community washer and dryer. The facility was very clean."

"The residents at Bonaventure of Lacey were all happy. They greeted me and they said hello. They kind of laughed and chuckled amongst themselves. It was just a wonderful experience. I just said, "Well I think this is going to be the place, even if it is expensive." They greeted me immediately and they were all very helpful. We didn't have to stand out in the lobby. They took me to a private office and then we discussed everything. They gave me the tour and then when I made my decision a few days later and went back, the same thing, we discussed it in a private office again, not out in the lobby. They were just very considerate. They seem to understand how devastating this decision was. They were considerate. They informed me that my husband would have a choice in some of the meals, which is important, to help him make decisions, and the other part was that he can have his cat as long as I clean the litter box. The facility was squeaky clean and comfortable. They have activities. They have quiet rooms where you can go sit with family, not out in the big general area. I was just very impressed with the memory care."

"I toured Woodland by Bonventure. I like the location which is closest to me. It was a nice tour. The place was clean. Lisa showed me the first apartment on the way so it could be decorated, and I like that. Then she showed me a studio. We went in and she explained everything to me. She showed me three rooms and I had three rooms to choose from. She was letting me know what if I was to call hospice, what kind of questions to ask, and to see what they offered. She was very friendly. It was a nice experience. They had a library, a theater, and they had a craft room. They have two separate dining rooms. They have a place where you can go outside if you want to eat or just relax. They had a laundry room and they had a little area where people were doing puzzles."

"Patriots Landing is very nice. It's more oriented towards the retired military because there are lots of retired military in DuPont. They have shuttle busses to VA hospitals, the parks, and the commissary. They have quite a few events like they take them to baseball games. So it's quite nice. They have a single bedroom, and double bedroom and their cottages are very spacious. They're about 1500 square feet and they have a full kitchen. I met the coordinator there, she was nice. They have a game week, and movie week, they take people to movie theaters and stuff around the area. They have a barbershop and salon, a library, and the meals are included. The facility was clean and well taken care of. It seems especially for the retired military, there's a lot of camaraderie with the other retired people who live there."

"I am a resident of Holiday Peninsula. They are all brand new. They just remodeled the whole building. We added brand-new hardwood floors and carpeting in the bedrooms. I got a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit with a balcony, granite countertops, and a small refrigerator. The housekeeping, the cooks, everything's been great. Everybody's been helpful, and I'm loving it. They let me move in before they even got the payment, which was wonderful. The food here is fabulous. Last night, I had a smothered steak and mushroom gravy, cooked to my order, and a baked potato salad. I had ice cream for dessert, and it was fantastic. They cook it to your order. They've got things all day, every day. They've got movies every night. They've got outings for shopping. They have everything. You can pick and choose what you want to do daily. They've got an office room for you, gardening, and arts and crafts. They've got sewing and a book club, and they have a band coming in every Friday night, providing music and dancing. You name it, they have it."

"We toured Sound Vista Village. It's very nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a library. They have a lounge and all sorts of different things in there."

"We went to Brookdale Harbor Bay. It was very nice, but it was a little more than we would want to pay. It's a very, very nice community. It was a very upscale place. The person we talked to was very courteous and very knowledgeable. They have a swimming pool, a gym, and everything that you would want in a facility like that. You couldn't ask for anything more."

"I really liked Olympic Alzheimer's Residence. We liked the staff, and the facility was very nice. It was bright and cheerful. Because of COVID, you had to wait in the parking lot before you could go in, and the gentleman came running out with this big conga drum attached to him. He was maybe ten minutes late, and he said, "I'm sorry, I was doing a drumming session. We were singing. I wish I knew you were out here; we would've had you come in." That right there shows that obviously they do activities with the residents. Then when we went inside during the tour, there were some residents sitting around in a circle in one area, and a lot of them were interacting with him. One of them even said, "I love you. Where are you going, and when are you going to come back?" I like the way the residents interacted. It's our number-one choice mainly because of how they interact with the residents and also the precautions they take for Alzheimer's. Before entering different areas, we had to clean our hands, and then not only did we wear masks, but they gave us face shields before we could go anywhere in the facility. They're protecting the residents, and they're doing the best they can. Because it is strictly memory care/Alzheimer's, they focus their activities and things for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. It was very clean, and there were no smells. Every single place we went, there was not one area where you'd say somebody had an accident or it needed to be cleaned or something. The residents were alert and interacting. When we first got there, a chef or a nutritionist came in with this huge plate of freshly baked cookies, and they were really good. They said they always have fresh cookies for the residents in the afternoon, and they always give them a little snack before dinnertime."

"I visited Cogir at the Narrows and toured their assisted living. It felt new and had great sitting and dining areas. I heard the food is good too. It's a nice place. I only met one staff member and she was great."
