I visited Corwin Center at Emerald Heights in Redmond, Washington. It was attractive. It is located in a residential neighborhood. The rooms were clean, but they were smaller. I think the staff was probably quite capable, but they were not as warm as those from the other facilities I visited.

Emerald Heights is an exceptional facility. We visit the facility once a week to visit with my grandmother. We have never found anything to complain about and find that they provide a most excellent living experience. They really help my grandmother without her feeling like she's unable to live on her own or take care of herself. We were really worried about her transition as she moved shortly after my grandfather passed. After a 52 year marriage we were unsure she'd be okay living her house behind and moving into assisted living but Emerald Heights really worked hard to make her transition as easy and comforting as possible. We feel really good knowing that grandma is getting exceptional care.

Here at Emerald Heights there's 550 people that live here, and we have four degreed physical fitness people and several acres for a walk through the woods every day. I don't think there can be many facilities that are better when it comes to physical fitness. I was taking 13 classes a week before the corona hit. We have 30 different classes a week that people can choose from and we have four degreed physical fitness people. Besides that we have the trip and event girls who do a great job in putting together trips and events. With the corona it's different. However, they have extra movies on and different activities to keep us busy. Then we have the in-house TV and we have 38 acres here to walk on. This is the CCRC. My husband is in the skilled nursing wing. There's memory care and assisted living too. The staff and residents in that wing are over 300 people. I knew this because they did a corona test and that's how many tests they did in that wing. We have a high morale here. The residents here feel like they are respected by the staff and the staff feels respected by the resident. Our apartment is only 904 sq. ft. but we have two bedrooms, two baths, and a living room and a kitchen. Our fees are not exorbitant like they are in these family homes, the fees are exorbitant; here they are not. I would be very curious if you could find anything that goes near what Emerald Heights has to offer. The food is absolutely exquisite. We have lots and lots of choices that we can make. During this coronavirus, we also have what they call a grab-and-go. It's a refrigerator with a window and then we can choose the food in there if we want. They are already packaged and you can put them in the oven for two to three minutes and then you can get your full meal. You can also choose from the specials or you can choose from the wide variety of other food. They have quite a number of people that work in the dining room and the kitchen, so the restaurant is absolutely exquisite. We all have to eat in our rooms now by ourselves of course. We go and take out. We order our food in the morning. We have, I think, four vans and two buses that takes us to our medical appointments in three different towns around here. The vans would also pick up residents' orders from the department stores in the area, so I just don't know what else more anybody can do for seniors that is not done here. The staff loves us and they come to work for us, they don't come to work for them. Same way with maintenance. We have good maintenance crew and they all want to help us. No matter what the problems, they're out to help us. I don't see where we can find a better place. The food is tasty. We have a sister campus which is about an hour and a half away, the chef here is also in charge of the chef down there. You could not have a better restaurant in my opinion. We have a guardhouse and it's manned all the time, 24/7. We have gates and right now it's manned differently. We only have one way to come in and we drive in, we have to stop at the lobby, go in and have our temperatures taken, and then we can go and park our car. Anybody coming in off campus can't, no visitors are allowed. Visitors come, but they just have to drop off everything at a table we have set up. They drop off what they want to and they drive off. You might think it's expensive, but this area is kind of a high-priced area. There are stories I hear about these family homes. I know somebody that pays $12,500 per month to live in a home. A friend of ours also pays $9,000 a month to live in a home. I think there should be regulations because I think that's just out of bounds to be charging that kind of money. I pay about $6,000 a month. Here, for couples, once you go over at skilled nursing, the only extra charge is for supplies and medicine and the government requires three meals a day, so I pay only about $1,000 more for my husband to be in skilled nursing and this, for me, is reasonable.

Emerald Heights was quite expensive, and there's a very high buy-in to begin with. It was about three years ago that I was there visiting friends. Everything there was quite nice, I did eat in the dining room, the food was very nice, a very nice selection, and everything was very high end, but very expensive. I have friends living there that have a two-bedroom unit classified in independent living, they have to pay upfront in the beginning with no rebate, it's $477,000 just to get in, and for the two of them for the monthly charge it would be in excess of $5,000.
Provider Response
Hi Sid, thank you so much for the kind words! While our LifeCare program is not inexpensive, we think our residents receive great value for the healthcare they'll receive and community they'll enjoy for the rest of their lives. Have a wonderful day!

Emerald Height was very nice, big, and had a nice dining room where you could eat at any time. They had a swimming pool with classes, a fitness area with attendants, and a courtyard with a miniature railroad and lots of nice places to sit. The rooms and apartments were very nice and can be remodeled if somebody new moves in. The food was very good. It was well kept up, and the residents were involved in committees that made decisions. However, I don't care for the area since it's very far out, and I'm looking for something closer in.

Emerald Heights's appliances and facilities were topnotch. It was everything that you would expect and a lot more. They were exceptional in all regards from the services that were available to the food, the preparation, the attitude of the place, and recreation facilities. They had a swimming pool, book meetings, social meetings, and exercise meetings. They just had a lot going on there. The food was excellent and good.

I’m going to Emerald Heights. I obviously like it very much. It’s continuing-care -- which is what I’m looking for. It’s gorgeous, very nice, and expensive but I hope it will be worth it.

Emerald Heights was a little bit older, more spread out, and nicely landscaped. The food there was the best of any place I've tried and had lots of choices. They had lots of activities, bus trips, a very nice gym, and pool. They had the place very well maintained. The only drawback I had was the very large buy-in.

Emerald Heights is an absolutely wonderful, luxurious place. That would be a top choice for me for continuing care. It was very pricey. The staff was very professional, and the residents were extremely friendly. The food was very good, as well.

We were interested in The Emerald Heights but cowered when we were figuring out the expenses. We felt it was an awful lot of extras put in there, so by the time you were paying, they were going to be much more than they would be otherwise. The facility was stretched out; they had cottages. They did have the greenery and the outdoor-type thing. They have trails to walk on, and they do have a pool. It’s like you’re out in your backyard when you go outside. It was pleasant.

Emerald Heights in Redmond was a wooden building with many arms to it. It had a library, a dining room, and a lot of other things. You had to buy your apartment and then pay monthly for the service. It was a one-bedroom apartment with a small dining room, a living room, a balcony, and a kitchen with everything in it. It also had a washer & dryer. It had a fridge, a microwave, a dishwasher, and a stove. I was really seriously thinking about moving there because I would be closer to my family. They had a swimming pool and a workout room kind of like a gym. It was next door to a 30-acre park. It was very country and woody -- not city at all. The dining room was very nice. The food was not like home cooked thing, but I found it to be very good food.

My experience with this assisted living provider was that the facility was very clean. The staff was extremely friendly and connected well with the residents. I even had dinner with a few of the residents. The menu had a large selection and variety and was surprisingly good. I also helped out one day for BINGO; which was a favorite past time of many of the residents. All of the residents seemed like they enjoyed themselves at Emerald Heights. When I went to stuff all the envelops for the weekly newsletter the offices were VERY organized. I could tell by the cleanliness, the organization and the thought that the workers put in to their job that they genuinely enjoyed their job. It takes a lot of patience to work in this field and Emerald Heights is an excellent place to have your friend or loved one live here. I would recommend this place to anyone.
