Reviews of The Sequoia Assisted Living Community in Olympia, Washington

We've looked at The Sequoia Assisted Living Community. We were very pleased with our initial conversation and our tour. We just put down a deposit, but he hasn't lived there yet. We were impressed with the first impression. Several personal acquaintances of mine actually have had family members living there and spoke very highly of it. That's the main reason that we reserved it for my dad. They're undergoing renovation right now, so it's a little torn up, but it'll be nicer when they're done. We felt like the staff-to-patient ratio was good. They don't have a high turnover of staff. Actually, one thing that I liked was that although the woman who gave us the tour hasn't been there for that long, she's been in the business for many years. She said she would not work for a place that just hired her with one interview. She wouldn't trust that place to be a good place. She said they had three very in-depth interviews before hiring her, and she took that as a very positive thing. They just seem to be very compassionate, and it's a nice facility without being super glitzy or fancy. It is what we were looking for: something that's nice but not gold plated. It just had a good feeling. The staff spent over an hour with me on the phone before the tour. Then my sister came with me for the tour, and she must have spent another hour with us. It was just a very, very informative and very complete tour. I go with my gut, and it says it's good. Judging by what I saw and what I know that they're doing, the renovations are going to be really great. There are lots of green and lots of outdoor spaces. It's like a square so there's a huge courtyard in the middle with greenery, tables, and benches, and they have lots of music coming in. They're going to have outdoor dining in the little courtyard. They have a very good track record on COVID so they are very responsible.

My friend is in The Sequoia Assisted Living Community. She was placed there first of the week because she fell and broke her hip. She's there for a 30-day respite, but more than likely she'll probably end up staying there because they're not going to allow her to go home. I helped her move into the facility, and she's in the assisted living. I found it to be very clean, and it smelled good. I've been in places where you go in there, and it actually smells like urine or it just smells of (I hate this expression) old people. This one didn't. The individual that we dealt with, her name was Covina, was very helpful and very friendly. In the process, she took us to the particular room on the 2nd floor that my friend was moving into. We were able to walk past the dining room, but that was about the extent of it. We did see where they have a little TV area. There were some residents that were currently sitting there watching some TV, but we didn't. We weren't able to do any kind of a tour of the facility because we had to get my friend into the room. I wasn't able to try the food, but I was able to see the daily menu they had. I thought it was a very well-rounded menu that they provided. They do give you options to be able to choose things. It's not like you have to have just whatever one thing that's on the menu. I thought that was a good thing. My friend is diabetic, and so we were able to talk with one lady about working on a particular diet for her, and make sure that she had a diet that was going to work for her situation. Once we got to her room, I didn't feel that there was adequate overhead or overhead lighting for the room. It was a little bit dark, and my friend has vision issues. She's diagnosed as being almost legally blind due to her diabetes. That was kind of one little bit of disappointment, but the room itself was very nice. They were going to try to see if they could find another stand-up lamp to put into her room. They were just having difficulties trying to find a light bulb to go in it. By the time I left when she was moving in, they had not given her an adequate lamp at that point. It also looked like there were a couple of areas in the facility that they probably could have done a little bit of paint or a little bit of carpet cleaning. For the most part, it was very well-kept and looked very presentable. I really didn't get to see much of the extras of the facility. I would like to have seen whether or not they had a courtyard area or something like that. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time or the opportunity to be able to see that. I'm hoping to hear in about 10 days because my friend has to be quarantined for 10 days. I'm hoping to be able to go back in that time frame and be able to tour the facility a little better. I'm not exactly sure right now how much she is paying. She is on respite and that is a different price than your normal monthly amount.

The Sequoia Assisted Living Community was great and had a good layout. It was clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The only drawback was that their floor plans just wouldn't work for my parents. They call them a studio alcove,and it was just kind of an odd setup. Everything else about it was nice. We also looked at their calendar of activities. They were just starting to get back into things due to COVID, and there were lots to choose from.

My husband will be at The Sequoia. The people were very friendly. It was clean, it was laid out well, they had painted the outside, and they were doing some work on the inside. The room I saw had the bedroom and the living area combined. It had a big bed, a big chair, TV, etc. It was a good size, but it was not a separate bedroom. The bathrooms were big. I know they have a lot of activities. I know the chef there, and where he came from, and he was a good chef.

Care staff consistently work understaffed and undertrained. The food is not good at all. The care is inconsistent. My very good friend is now not walking and has a horrible open wound on her heal, which is not being cared for. State is in the building investigating cases regularly. The management does not care!

Marie has been at Sequioa since late February. The staff and residents are so good and understanding with her. They make sure she gets to meals and activities. Will call me when she's upset, anxious or confused so she can speak with us. They treat with loving support and respect.
