Bayview

I really liked Bayview Retirement Community. It had a beautiful lobby and a friendly atmosphere. It’s very clean; the staff is great.

My first impression of Bayview Manor in Seattle was that it was pretty nice looking place. I had been to two previous assisted living facilities. Bayview was much nicer than one and not quite as nice as the other. Bayview had a really friendly staff and is located in a pretty nice neighborhood. I was there to visit the grandfather of one of my best friends. He is a widower that suffered a stroke a many years ago. The food actually seemed like something I would want to eat. I really liked how well the staff was able to remember so much about the people that lived there. They almost seemed like family members. I worked for a few years as a janitor, so I am a stickler for clean bathrooms, floors, and such. Bathrooms were really clean and free of odors. The eating utensils where clean and free of water marks (my mother was a germaphobe and taught us to check the utensils first). Floors appeared to be freshly mopped/vacuumed. His actual room was pretty big. It was bigger than most rooms I've rented in apartments and house in Seattle. A lot of the old people seemed to be fairly happy (as happy as you can be in an old folks home). I guess it wouldn't be a bad place to live when that day comes for me.
