I would never ever allow my loved ones to stay in this facility. Not because it's terrible.. it's just that it's not good enough for my standards when it comes to facility where my mother or father may spend the last days of their very colorful lives inside. Discovery Memory Care is BASIC. BASIC means STANDARD. If you are a person who needs a halfway decent place (STANDARD) for your loved ones who are "not all there" to die then this place will do just fine. Blowing it up as something more than BASIC is just a terrible lie. When you first walk inside it is nice, it has a front desk and nice waiting room area with cookies and coffee.. but after you go through those double doors into the real place where the old folks are at the quality rapidly deteriorates. Behind those doors a stifling air hits your airways. The atmosphere feels grimey from lack of air circulation. The pictures displayed on this site are also very old. Rooms and outside areas may have once appeared that picturesque but pale in comparison to today..and I absolutely mean TODAY (05/25/2018). Environment is everything and to not upkeep it or make accomodations for those who have lived their entire lives up until this point to end up here and have hallways riddled with icons and actors of a bygone era is just tacky design. Where is the life in this place? Why does everything feel so out of place and leave me feeling drained for energy myself and I'm just visiting?? Q's recommended that I answer: What are the rooms like? Pretty barren. Kept neat and clean as a positive but lacking in a view. The windows face a bleak parking lot to a living complex and occasional wanderlust vagrants. What activities do the residents enjoy? I observed a few "arts & craft" days. That keeps the kids busy which is really good given that they have not much else to do all day. In fact.. what do you have them do all rest of the day besides wander the one hallway back and forth looking for a way out?? What is the culture like? It's caucasian. Elderly caucasian people.If you are a person of color you shouldn't alienate your loved one and place them in this facility. Where is the approval rating from the state of Washington for Discovery Memory Care? Are the current staff really qualified? I know of a woman who used to work there 20 years ago..she still resides in Sequim..but she even agrees that the "memory" of what Discovery Memory Care once was is more of what people talk about than the reality of what it is today.

Discovery Memory Care is where we have settled. The people there were from another facility, and many of them quit because of the problems they were having. They moved to Discovery, so we moved my wife there. I know the staff, and they are very good; our selection is based not on the facility so much but on the care and attention that is provided by the personnel. The food is above average, but it is definitely institutionalized because of the fact that they are cooking for 30 or 40 people at a time. They have provided lunch for me periodically, and it has been very good. There is a schedule of activities on the wall, and they have something most every day. And then they have people coming in -- entertainment groups, music, dogs and stuff like that. They have a fairly good routine. The seniors don’t get enough exercise, but in every place I have visited that is the case. They are not doing any exercise therapy, but they do get a chance to do some walking up and down the halls and it is based on whether the individual is interested or not. My wife is in a wheelchair at the present time, so she doesn’t get a lot of exercise.

We were pleased with what we saw at Discovery Memory Care. It was clean, and the residents were all well taken care of and happy. I didn’t see anything that was a red flag. We looked at the facility, the dining hall and the main meeting activities. They have outdoor craft areas and a lot of activities for people who are able to go outside on short trips somewhere. The person who assisted us was very professional and had been in health care facility for a number of years so she was knowledgeable and very pleasant.

We have been very pleased with the facility employees. They really care about the residents and are attentive to them. They seem to like their jobs and give great care to even difficult people, they are patient and loving.
