Liberty Place Port Orchard, WA

My relative has been in Liberty Place. I'm not so sure if she is happy there. It's sufficient as far as what she has. Because of the virus, she wasn't able to tour this place, so she was expecting a place where she can work out and do some exercises, but there isn't any place there with any exercise equipment. Also she was told some of the people that live there have the ability to play mahjong games that require mental acuity. Apparently they misrepresented how well the people were there. My relative doesn't feel comfortable because she is not able to communicate with some of the folks there because they don't have good memories. She is disappointed that she can't be around people that are at her same level of mental abilities. She is disappointed. We're not sure how long she's going to be there, and she'll probably leave. Food is OK; it's fine. It's nothing great, it is what it is. I'm not so sure if she is happy with the activities. Like I said, she wanted to play a specific game and she did ask about that game when she moved in, but it's not at her level, so she's disappointed. The staff is fine.

I chose Liberty Place - Port Orchard because it felt like a better environment for my mom. The other place we went to smelled like urine and was dark, and I don't want my mother in that kind of place. She has a small apartment there, the people are very friendly, and conscientious. It doesn't smell like urine. It's a small place with just 39 rooms, so it's a little more quaint. I haven't tried any of the food, but it looks good. The power went out so they had to pull the barbecue out and do all that so the patients weren't without food, and they're very good about it. I think the activities are good, I just like it there. It's COVID so they can't take them out like they normally do, like they take them out for shopping. They're inside doing their physical fitness, games, and all that stuff. It's a pretty good value for what we're getting for her.

I think my friend has made a decision to go to Liberty Place. They have an opening right now. She felt comfortable there. We didn't get to go in and look at the room and stuff that she would be in. We had to do that by virtual tour. My friend likes the people that was there that interviewed us. She also likes the lady that did the assessment. It was a tour that they had set up on their computer. We were able to go into the library because my friend was really cold. They closed the door and we had an interview there in masks. She plugged in the computer and was able to show us what one of the rooms looked like. They have an activity room and they can do classes there. It was just a comfortable feeling for my friend that she would be able to sit out in the community room. It was a smaller place, and my friend likes a smaller community. They were very attentive and knowledgeable. We only saw two staff members. They were very informative. They took time with my friend and I thought they were really nice and knowledgeable.

My father's room at Liberty Place Assisted Living is good, it's clean. I'm very pleased with the staff and the food is okay. They've got a very active activities director there, and there's a lot going on there. They have an exercise thing that they do. The other day, they had a family meal for Christmas that we did which was good. The facilities are nice. It's close in price with the other places, and it's expensive.
