Norse Home

Norse Home has been great for my mother. There are lots of activities that she's involved in. There's a fantastic view of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains and the food has been good. She's been very happy there. It's in a wonderful part of Seattle. It's great. It's more dormitory style. It does not have kitchenettes, but each floor has a kitchen. She likes the three meals in the cafeteria. It's not like some of the senior places where you have a living room. She just has one room like a studio. The staff is wonderful. They have assisted living as well. I've been very happy. I just wish they would do more outings. It's a good value. It's in a very nice neighborhood. She can go right out and walk around. Across the street is the zoo. It's right on a bus line. Right from her front door, there's a bus that goes right to downtown Seattle to the stores and everything. It is very good for independent people. For the price, this place was the best.

I visited the independent facility of Norse Home Retirement Community. It is a really nice facility. I like the open space they have with a grand piano. They have four floors. The top two floors were for independent-living, and the other two floors were for those who needed more care. I like the homey feeling of this facility. There are several places that you could just sit like the library. They have a beauty shop, and an exercise room. They provide the meals for you.
