Kamlu Vancouver Senior Living

I had an in-person tour at Kamlu Retirement Inn-Vancouver. The staff was cordial and very informative. The facility was very nice and very clean.

Kamlu Retirement Inn-Vancouver was pretty nice. It's an older facility, but it was very clean. The staff was very kind and answered questions for me. It's not an Alzheimer's facility. It's independent living and the few people that I saw wandering the halls looked like they were in their 80s. The three rooms we saw were vacant. There was a studio apartment, a one-bedroom, and one a little bit larger. I was shown where the dining area was, and they put four six-foot round tables together, and every person had a chair and there was only one person to a table. With COVID, there wasn't a lot of activity going on. Most people were in their rooms I would assume, and all the doors were shut. I only saw two people walking around that were not staff. It was very clean. I didn't see paper laying around or trash or empty coffee cups. The lobby was very clean.

Kamlu Retirement Inn seemed like a nice place. They have a decent size studio apartment. It felt like an apartment complex where everyone was a senior. The dining area was very nice. It looked like it would be a place to easily socialize with people. It was very welcoming and you can have little parties there. They have exercise classes and book clubs. The one thing they had that nobody else that we talked to had was that they take the residents to a place to swim a couple of times a week. They have a big craft group, too. The staff members were great.

Kamlu Retirement Inn-Vancouver was modest. It was not as luxurious as the others, but it was very nice. I would move in there. They have long-standing staff. The chef has been there for 10 years. The residents I've talked to were very happy there. It's an older facility, but it was very nice and very clean, and everybody was personable. It looked like they did a lot for their residents.

My experience touring Kamlu Retirement Inn-Vancouver was nice and pleasant. The staff members were very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were very nice, except they didn't have a patio and a one-bedroom for my mom at the right price. The dining area was really nice, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful. They offered services like most independent living places, and provided meals and activities. The facilities were very nice.

I liked Kamlu Retirement Inn-Vancouver. It was a small facility, which was a plus in my book. They had a nice fireplace room. They didn't have nearly as big a library or activity room as others, but it's a lot less expensive. There weren't quite as many amenities. The people couldn't have been nicer. The dining area was very nice. The best thing that they had was very good people. Everybody knows everybody. There's a great focus on interactions. The staff was very caring and great.

I visited Kamlu Retirement, and I have a friend there. It's an older facility, very comfortable, and their dining facility is very nice, spacious, and attractive. It's nearby and close to things. The dining staff is helpful, thoughtful, and kind. My friend has a 1-bedroom unit, it's a nice size, they all have windows that look out on nice green spaces, the people are friendly, and they seem to be open to doing things together. My friend really liked living there.

I thought Kamlu Retirement Inn would be perfect for my mother. You can have your own caregivers come in if you want and get services as you need them, so you can stay there for a long time without having to move. The location was fine and near the hospital in the neighborhood. The food was fine and in very small portions, but the elderly don't need much.

I had a tour at Kamlu Retirement in Vancouver. The place was nice and clean, and the food smelled good. I looked at a small studio room. What I liked best about the place was that everybody was friendly and really care. I just hope they are not that expensive.

Kamlu Retirement was very clean and the décor was nice. The people were friendly, and we liked that they have couples that live on-site. The food was good as well.

I found Kamlu through Caring.com. Kamlu had an opening when I wanted to move, that's why I'm here. Everything is just fine. The food is good. I've got a studio apartment, which is satisfactory for myself and my two small dogs. It is quite comfortable. They have bingo and games and they go different places and what-not, but I just haven't gotten into those yet. They have a large dining room and I get three meals a day. The food is quite satisfactory. The staff members are very kind people too.

We visited Kamlu Retirement Inn-Vancouver for our mother. It was an interesting place, but it was remote from my sister who's the person who would be the most intimately involved in keeping track of how our mother is doing, so we felt that it was not appropriate. The staff appeared to be competent, and the people with whom we spoke were helpful. Everything was clean. It seemed to be a good place, but as we say, the location was simply not appropriate.

My mother currently lives in Kamlu. It is fine. It is a nice place to live. However, I just want to get my mother in a facility where she can transition to assisted living, and Kamlu does not have that capability; that's why we're looking somewhere else. She likes Kamlu; there is nothing wrong with it other than the food. Food is pretty restricted. A lot of people complained about the food. However, everything else is fine. The rooms are OK. They have little kitchenette and what-have-you. They have different sizes for different places. The facility is older. My mother is OK there. She likes it. What they could improve on the selection of food and cleaning the floors. They have housekeeping provided in their rent, but they don't really clean the floors.

My mother was at Kamlu Retirement Inn. It wasn’t a facility for intensive care, but for independent living. Some people drove their own cars, and it was kind of like an apartment. They have people who come up to their rooms and clean them. The staff were very good at making sure everything was all right. With their activities, every day they have something going on. They have a bus that would take you shopping if you wanted to go.
