My father was in memory care at Ida Culver Broadview in the Terrace. He was treated with respect and kindness. He was cared for and attended to for his needs. He was treated with dignity and with compassion. If we, his family, had questions or concerns, they were addressed and responded to. My dad was encouraged to participate in all the activities and given space when he needed it. He was appreciated for his singing and his humor. The staff could see him as a person of kindness and thoughtfulness beyond the illness. He was respected for his long life, his WW II military service, his life's work, and his generous spirit. When he passed, the staff hugged us, told us about their love for him, and comforted us. Some of them came and stood by him in his final hours with tears and loving messages for him and for us. The Terrace was the perfect place for our dad to be in his final years, and I am grateful.

I have moved into Ida Culver House Broadview. One of the reasons I chose them is that it was closest to my daughter and her family. It has the apartment configuration that was most pleasing to me, even though it's a small one. It has an aerial view because it's on the fourth floor and a partial view of the Olympic mountains. It's one of the larger ones, its eight acres and in a more residential area. They have a swimming pool, and the food is excellent. Ida Culver was a teacher, and so it has several teachers, and I was a retired teacher also. The apartment is unusual there. There are only six of these floor plans. It faces north and has an aerial view of the trees, and the living room also has a big picture window and then a side window that faces the water and the Olympic mountains. In the bedroom, you have a big picture window there, side by side the window that faces east; you can see when the sun comes up one of the Cascade Mountains along with trees. It has a front French door that opens onto a small patio and the patio faces north to the area view and west to the mountain, Puget Sound view. It has a bathroom with a window that faces the north area, and it has a complete small kitchen. The bedroom has a full mirrored closet, and the entrance has a closet, then there's a closet for the washer and dryer. Theres an up and down washer and dryer. The apartment is 541 ft².

My wife and I have been living in another South Sound retirement community for nine years. I'm seeking memory care in Seattle for my 80 year -old sibling. We have been very pleased working with Ida Culver Broadview and the staff there. This organization is superior organizationally, in facilities quality, employee knowledge and skill, as well as candidness and transparency in communicating information needed by prospective residents and family. Many other senior care organizations are still TRYING to develop the solid organizational footing and service culture that Ida Culver already has and provides.

My parents moved to ICB from the Midwest 7 years ago to be closer to family. As hard as it was to leave their former home, ICB soon became their home in every sense. They went to fabulous lectures, music performances, social gatherings, field trips, etc. and incorporated themselves into the warm and welcoming community. A little less than 2 years ago, we moved my mom to The Terrace, which is the memory care part of the building. It was a challenging transition for the whole family, but we got support and were shown such kindness from the IC staff. The Terrace staff are some of the loveliest, kindest, and most compassionate people. They have laughed with us, advised us, and genuinely cried with us when we experienced losses this year. They held my mom’s hand and gently encouraged her when she needed it. All the while, my dad has found strength from his IC community. The staff and many of the residents are right there when times get tough and also when one just wants to hear a good joke. The facility is great! Lovely library, activity spaces, gym, pool, etc. In summary, I would highly recommend taking a look at ICB. It has been, and continues to be a godsend for our family.

My mother moved into the Terrace about six weeks ago, after having a couple of falls and a hospital/rehab stay when living on her own. Her room looks out onto some lovely trees, and is quite pleasant. The staff have been amazing -- very warm and caring. My mom seems to be much less lonely than she was living in the other part of the ICHB campus, which I think is largely due to her more frequent interactions with the staff, and she's already made a friend or two. I am not sure to what degree she participates in the community activities, as she is still just getting settled in, but almost every time I drop by there's something going on in the central living area. I know she's enjoyed the periodic outings, and hoping she'll be able to take advantage of the other activities as she starts to feel more at home. I feel this was a very good move for her, given the decline in her memory and cognition. It has also made my life easier, knowing she's in good hands and having the extra assistance in managing her healthcare needs.

My mother is 95 and had been living independently. For a few years, she and I had been discussing her next step as her needs and desires changed. When she told me on Mother's Day that she was ready to look at places, Ida Culver House Broadview was the top destination on our list. The buildings, grounds and views are absolutely beautiful. The property is very well maintained and the care is evident. The staff is amazing - warm, friendly, caring, and truly focused on finding a good fit for everyone! They took time to answer all the questions we had during our initial tour and were quick to respond to follow-up emails and our request to have a second tour to increase Mom's comfort level with a big move. The staff has been extremely kind in introducing Mom to other residents and making her feel valued and included. The nurses have gone above and beyond in ensuring Mom understands what is available and has the care she needs and wants. The bottom line is the staff truly cares about the residents and their families and treat them with respect, dignity and friendship. The meals are fantastic with varied menus daily and their two dining rooms allow the residents to enjoy the incredible views of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound so that every meal is more than just a meal. They are social events and a chance to meet and engage with other residents. They have so many activities for the residents and families to enjoy. One of our favorites was the art gala featuring works by several different residents. Participation in the activities is encouraged and, at the same time, privacy is truly respected. Mom is absolutely loving living at Ida Culver House Broadview! I have not seen her so thoroughly happy in years!

From the moment I visited Ida Culver, Broadview I could see myself living there. I was initially attracted by the property — 8 acres, beautiful gardens, lots of open air spaces. Every apartment has its own private outdoor space, a patio or lanai. Many public areas, such as the dining room have views of the mountains and the sound. Once I moved into Ida Culver Broadview, my expectations have been exceeded. The physical amenities, such as a saltwater pool, a lovely library, gym, game room, etc. offer space to meet the needs of diverse residents. Special programs, (lectures, musical performances, theater, outings/trips) are offered regularly with professional presenters. There are regular exercise classes in person, or on the in-house television channel which has programs throughout the day and evening. The staff sets the tone of friendliness, caring and welcome, and I feel that among the residents as well. You can be as social or as private as you wish. The apartments have variety of layouts and are totally self-contained for a residents’ needs including personal laundry. Friends have commented on the high quality of the facilities in the apartment, and in the public areas. The food, variety and quality, is excellent. The staff is attentive to individual needs, and your requests are responded to promptly. I am amazed how quickly Ida Culver Broadview has felt like home!

As a new member at Ida Culver, Broadview in .Seattle, I am impressed by many things. The needs of seniors has been very well thought through. The apartments are spacious and well planned, and the kitchen appointed with up to date appliances. We,ve found the staff to be exceptional. They are ever ready to be of service from administrators, to food service, to maintenance, and housekeeping as well as programming,. The food here is delicious and healthy with a lovely dining room. I have been truly impressed with how well I feel taken care of and sincerely welcomed.

After being on a waiting list for another retirement community and realizing that as we got closer to the time when we were ready 'to make the big move' we were not feeling as excited as we should be about our choice, we decided to reconsider where we wanted to spend our final years. We revisited a place or two we had toured earlier and then visited Ida Culver House Broadview. It immediately felt like home. It is a physically beautiful place with good amenities that is full of life. We were made welcome by other residents and staff and witnessed an abundance of activities instead of the silent halls and quiet residents we had seen in other facilities. We were able to rent a comfortable apartment with housekeeping, maintenance, chef quality meals, and wellness assistance at a competitive price. More than that we found a lively community of interesting and interested new friends who enjoy an astounding array of activities supporting physical, intellectual, and pleasure interests. Everything from Shakespeare to Current Events, water exercise to Trivia nights, Community Sings to Jazz to Folk to Classical to Opera performances in house and available as field trips. We couldn't be happier with our choice and are glad that we followed our urge to check out one more place before making our finale important decision.

I have lived at Ida Culver Broadview for one year My husband and I moved into Ida Culver one year ago. We agreed that we had made an excellent choice. He and I are quite different from each other. My husband formerly was a principal, and he appreciated the efficient way that Ida Culver is run, along with enjoying how personable and caring the staff is. He has since passed on, and I am grateful that I was able to get comfortable with the facility and with other residents and the staff before he died. I absolutely love not having to cook or clean! Eliminating these chores has given me time to read and to participate in the many interesting activities. My favorites are presentations by University of Washington staff members, daily exercise, bridge, choir, and crafts. Staff members genuinely care about us. I am constantly amazed at the variety of talents they have such as dramatics, musical instruments, computer skills, vocal groups, crafts.

The facility and grounds are well maintained, clean and comfortable. My friend says the meals are very good. There are several areas where we can visit in a small group and a variety of activities for my friend to enjoy if she chooses to do so.

My wife & I were grateful for Pam & the newer woman showing us around yesterday. They answered all our questions with helpfulness & humor. They understood when I needed to sit down while my wife took the rest of the tour. Our financial questions were fully responded to & thoroughly explained. My wife & I were pleased to know the differences of different types of elder care centers. For us the cottages were spacious while the floor plan of the 2 bedrooms unit on Greenwood Ave was sub par. This morning we realized we didn’t see the assisted living center - nor did we ask to see it. I wanted to eat & find out how the food was & couldn’t as I didn’t have a reservation. This is a very important aspect of anyone staying at a place. If you could manage it, Pam or your Community Liaison person having the option of taking someone for a meal spontaneously after a tour would be very helpful.

What a welcome! Mom’s first day as a resident began with a cheery ´Welcome Home’ from the lovely folks at reception - Paolo and Cheri. Soon after, Gerson met us at the cottage with a warm welcome and helped with move-in details. As we explored the facilities and gorgeous grounds, staff and residents took time to ´show us the ropes’ and chat. A fabulous first day !

The parking is a nightmare. I was bringing groceries to my aunt and I had to park a few blocks away away, that’s a long way to walk with a couple bags of groceries or more. Rooms are great the staff is very friendly and the place is very clean

Our family has such deep gratitude and respect for all who cared for our mom and truly considered her a family member and she felt the same towards them. The degree of loving care and professionalism at Ida Culver while she was in independent living thru memory care in the Terrace was unparalleled. She felt at home. She was loved. She was safe. We wish we could adequately express our appreciation for all involved. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

My father moved into Ida Culver House Broadview. Everything was great as far as the physical appearance of the community. One thing that was really important to my dad was the idea of being able to go to someplace where he'd be able to do his things independently. It is extremely important to us, so that was a big part of our decision. They've got a bit of a waiting list, so that's kind of a disadvantage. They have smaller studios, which was what my dad got initially. They have three types of one-bedroom units that seem to be a little larger than the one-bedroom units we saw at some other places, and then they've got a two-bedroom unit. My dad has his own outdoor patio, so he can sit outside, which was very nice. They go to the symphony, and they all do walking groups. They have a very small fitness area and a small pool. The people that I interacted with were very nice. The staff was very honest and forthright. The upkeep and cleanliness were very good. It's not the newest building, so things are a little bit worn out compared to some other places, but it was clean. What they offer is not cheap, but I think it's probably on par with other areas.

My father moved into Ida Culver House Broadview a month ago. He is in a memory care unit there called The Terrace. It's a specialized area, not the general community. It's a memory care section. He is peaceful there and sleeping well. The people there are very kind and very attentive. They have a lot of activities. They also are very respectful of his choices. They're very trained in attending to people with dementia. His room is a studio. They have several sizes, and he got a medium-sized room. It has a lovely view of the mountains and trees. It's comfortable. It's not as big as the one-bedroom apartment he had been in, but it seems to work well because he doesn't have a kitchen there. He has a bathroom. His room includes his living room, bedroom, recliner, and table. There is a dining room for meals and a nice long hallway where he can take good walks if he wishes. The place is nice. It's very clean and has a nice spacious, eerie feeling to it. In terms of cleaning his apartment, you can opt for how much cleaning you want. The basic one going in is once a week that somebody will come and clean. But you can pay for somebody to clean it more often if you want. The dining room is very pleasant. It has a lovely view out to beautiful trees and toward the mountains. It has some very nice light, especially in the afternoon and evening. The food seems to be adequate. They have an exercise and game time. They take people out for a tour almost once a week, if they want. They have occasional concerts and discussion clubs for the news. They show occasional films. The staff members are very warm, very attentive, and very trained. They care very much for the people who live there. If something is broken or not working, it's fixed very quickly. I think it's a good value.

My mother was at Ida Culver House Broadview. She was there for a year. There were more pluses than minuses. They had great, great cuisine. The food was absolutely fantastic. It was actually very, very well with meal planning and just very nice dining. It's a very nice place. The pluses are food and the friendliness. All of that was just great. I would recommend it to anybody, but my mom has dementia. The place was very confusing. You have to go up one elevator, down another elevator to get to another floor. That's not good for somebody that has dementia, even mild dementia. They said that she was always getting lost. It was confusing for me, and I don't have dementia. The way it was configured was just very confusing. There were too many walkways and too many elevators to get to one place. They had a salon and a nice swimming pool. The activities were great, but my mother just wouldn't do them. I can't think of anything that they were lacking. I can't see anything that they could improve upon. The location is not very great. It's on a very busy street. When you have dementia, you have to keep them in a quiet environment. It's very noisy. It is one of the busiest streets in Seattle. There is a constant road traffic and a lot of noise. Pollution was just horrible. I'd walk into my mom's place, and I could smell the fumes from the cars and stuff in her living quarters. It was just not good. Not that it was their fault; there's nothing they could do, but I just had to get my mom away from that.

My mom lives at Ida Culver House Broadview, and I've been impressed with it. The environment is well appointed, comfortable, and they have good staffing. It's a nice experience. They have a ton of activities. They've got a dining room, a library, an activity center, a pool, exercise classes, field trips, and social events. They have one dining room that they do three meals a day, and they have table service.
