I went to Emerald City Senior Living. The tour is fine. It's really nice. It's all been refurbished lately. It had a nice big lobby. However, they don't have the level of care I need. The staff was very knowledgeable. Essentially, we saw a studio apartment and a one bedroom apartment. The brochure we got says they have a library and quite a few things, but I didn't pay much attention because they won't work for me.

Emerald City Senior Living was our first choice. It was absolutely beautiful, spacious, and highly staffed. The staff was great, friendly, and very helpful. He was very knowledgeable and a good listener. He was absolutely excellent. The building was wonderful. The views were wonderful. It was spacious. The parking was an underground dugout, and it was horrible.

I moved my partner into the community from another community hoping for a better care and activity experience. I was hopeful and pleasantly satisfied after a few weeks that my partner seemed to be fitting in so well! After awhile it was determined that she needed to move to memory care and that her care needs were greatly increasing. I was worried that she wouldn't do well, but again was pleasantly surprised with the staff engagement and help they provided her. My partner has since passed and I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone at Emerald City. The staff was wonderful during her time there and even in her final days she was happy. I am thankful to all the kindness and consideration that was given to her, especially at the end of her life.

It was our privilege to take care of her. Even though our time with her was limited it was wonderful getting to know her and you as well. Thank you for the kind words.

Moving my family member into assisted living was a hard decision, but the team at Emerald City made the choice and process easy for me. I moved my family member in and felt guilt in doing so, but almost immediately saw him blossom . It lightened my heart to see and know that he is well taken care of. All my interactions with the staff have been pleasant and they are working so hard during such a trying time.

My tour at Emerald City Senior Living was very positive. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. The place was nice and it's easily navigable for a person in a wheelchair. It's very clean and well-maintained. I also saw the apartments. Overall, I like the location.

We really like Maple Leaf. It was a very nice place. However, it did not have a paydown and ability to bridge to Medicaid. We love the place, if it did, we would have been there. It was a nice, clean and new place. It was a good size and a good layout. It was the closest to meeting our requirements. The staff members were very helpful, too.

Hi, Jim. Thank you for your kind words about Maple Leaf. We pride ourselves in being a great community with amazing staff. While we don’t offer a spend down program, we would like to speak with you further to see if we have an option that would work for you. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Pam Dill, Senior Executive Director

Maple Leaf was a great facility, but the location kind of removed it a little bit from activities. It's on a boulevard and there isn't much there right now. They have a physical training room with equipment for rehab and independent exercise. They have a nice dining room and a room where folks were playing a Wii game on the big TV. The staff members we met were real nice. The building was very nice as well.

Maple Leaf was a very lovely facility and it's very well-maintained. We had lunch there and the food was fine. They had activities, a salon, and an exercise room. We met with the marketing director and he was very nice.

Maple Leaf was very nice. It was very easy living there, and I fit in right away. My room was clean and well maintained. The main person who was in charge was on vacation, but her replacement took care of me very nicely. The food was delicious. It didn't have wireless access in the rooms. I had my computer with me, and I would've enjoyed working online, but other than that, it was a beautiful stay. They took out all the old furniture and put in the new furniture the day I left. They had activities listed, but they were redoing the entryway and the first floor, and it disrupted things.

My husband was at The Stratford at Maple Leaf. The place is modern and clean. Some of the staff are very caring. The rooms are very nice. It's definitely new. It's good for my husband because it is down where there are a lot of activities. So when people visit him and take him out, there are a lot of things to do and see. He was happy there at a certain time, but in the end it wasn’t a good fit anymore, although I think this facility would be a good fit for many people.

We visited The Stratford and it is a very nice facility. If we were to decide in a facility, it would be something like that one. I like the cleanliness of the place and the activities they involve the residents in. It seems like it is a good place.

I visited The Stratford at Maple Leaf a few times while my grandmother was there during her hip surgery. The people there were very nice and accommodating to both my grandmother, and to myself and other family members that visited her while she was there. She had a studio room since she wasn't going to be up and about very much while there, and preferred to have a room to herself. Although she hated being in a place like that, she admits that the Stratford at Maple Leaf was much nicer then she had expected, and if she had to go back somewhere similar, she would choose to go there again if she had the choice. I think that if I needed to do so, I personally would trust them with myself or my loved ones as well. She and our family would most definitely recommend it to anyone else who was looking for a good retirement or assisted living facility.

Was very nice and clean, the staff was helpfull when we moved my grandmother in. They did not even charge us after they told us that she could not stay there anymore due to the fact she was trying to leave on her own. We had to move her to a place that had locked doors. The staff even helped us find a new place for her.

The Stratford at Maple Leaf was a very nice place. it was very clean and the staff was caring and really seemed to care for my grandma. They also have a great garden and reflecting pool with nice landscaping for a nice place to be outside. i would have to say that it is one of the best places i have every seen.

About Emerald City Senior Living
At Emerald City Senior Living, our community's culture is built on helping our residents find their happiest, healthiest selves. After hearing from multiple new residents that they were concerned about getting involved and making new friends, we formed a resident ambassador program, which pairs each new resident with an ambassador who helps them acclimate to Emerald City, engage in activities and events, and volunteer in the local community. A lot of our residents want to stay active, even during the dreary, rainy, Seattle winters, so we formed an indoor walking club and indoor gardening club, so they can appreciate the outside, inside. We also noticed that a lot of our residents were traveling to doctor's appointments and therapy visits, so now we're proud to offer a visiting physician service along with an in-house, on-site therapy facility, so our residents can get the care they need, right here, at home.
In short, when our residents talk, we listen. If you or a loved one are looking for a senior living community where residents are respected and heard, we'd love to meet you. Contact us today to schedule a tour.
