I didn’t like Brookdale Renton. It looked like an old nursing home turned into assisted living. I could smell urine. They had small rooms and you had to share a bathroom. I think there are enough germs for one person, let alone sharing a bathroom, so that was totally a turn off. They had some very old people there. I didn't like the dining area and I wasn't impressed with it at all. The manager was very nice and the person who gave me the tour was good, I liked her, but the facility itself needs a lot of work. It looks weird the way it's all set up.

The only one I have visited was Brookdale Renton. The staff was great. She helped me to actually figure out that mom's needs were more for an adult family home, so she was very helpful. The people who were sitting there, they all seemed happy, and the lady who helped us was great. She was really lovely. The facility itself seemed nice. It was kind of old, and they were redoing it. A little outdated is what I would say. It needed to be modernized a little bit, and that is what they were focused on at the moment.

Brookdale Renton (Formerly Emeritus at Renton) was quite nice, but I didn't have the money to make the payment that they asked for. It had a very nice dining area, and the food was very good. The staff was very nice. We were given a menu, and there were three or four things to choose from. They've got a computer room. The people were very pleasant and very friendly, but the rooms were awfully small.

Emeritus seemed really good. Whoever it was that took me on a little tour spent a lot of time with me. I would recommend other people to go visit this place. It was a really good experience. The rooms are like little apartments. They're not super big. It seemed adequate for a single person.
Some people were out in the hall talking to each other, and it seemed like they have a good calendar of activities. The dining room was very lovely. It had several floors. It wasn't fancy, but it was clean and friendly and seemed to have a lot of services available to the residents. The prices were reasonable compared to anything else in the area. It was in a bit of a rundown neighborhood, but the facility itself and the grounds were kept up nicely with flowers and clean parking lots. They kept their little area very cheerful. Especially if your funds are limited, you could still get what you needed at this place.

Emeritus at Renton was dirty. It was old, and I was not happy with it at all. That was the worst place of all the places I have visited. The carpets were dirty. There were marks on the wall and stuff that made it dirty. I wasn't interested in it. That was right before they sold out the Emeritus to the new company, and I think maybe they had let that property go downhill because they knew they were going to sell it out. The units were small, and it seems to me that it needed restoration all year round, outside and in.

Emeritus at Renton was a little bit of an older facility. It felt really old in there. From what I have seen, they keep everything pretty clean as much as they can, but they can only do so much. The whole facility just needs to be renovated. On my first visit, there was no one there. I didn't make an appointment because I wanted a surprise visit. There was somebody in the cafeteria, but there was no one in the office. It is close. That's what I like the most, its location. Someone showed me a shared room. Occupants wouldn't really see each other except in the common room, the front part. Everyone was very nice in there. One thing I noticed was that the residents there seemed younger, which is a real big plus. The ones I had seen could be nicer, but a lot of their residents were either wheelchair-bound or bed-bound.

When I went to Emeritus at Renton the staff were nice to me, but the facility itself was a little bit dirty. I think they do have outdoor and indoor activities. I don't think I would recommend this place. My first impression when I walk in is that if the carpets are clean then it would keep you from looking further, but if you walk in and the carpets are dirty, you would wonder about the rest of the place. I think they need more cleaning.

My cousin stayed in Emeritus at Renton. The room was adequate with a living area, bedroom and bathroom. Although, the kitchen was pretty lousy and there was no dining area. I did not know any of the activities but I knew that there was transportation available. I would say that the facility was average.

Well my old grandmother stayed there. Because our house was full and she was alone in her house we had to put her in a nursing home. Before we did we checked few nursing homes and this one fitted our plans pefrectly. It was near our home and the staff was so kind and generous. After the first week we went to visit our grandmother and she was very happy with her staying there. She said that the enterier was so beautiful and also she liked the food very much. Only one negative thing is that 1 day they didnt have heating. But that is okay because every other day there is not any problem. When we went to visit her, we first needed to check in then one person of the personal took us to our grandmother's room, telling us she could choose if she wants to be alone in the room or with others. The payment is fair and they have a lot of free activities there. She could read books, talk with doctors about her health, watch tv. I recommend it to everyone.

Friendly and caring staff. Clean facility. Only downside is no garden patio area for residents to sit outside. Only a parking lot area.
