Emerald Care Wapato, WA

I would say this facility was average in appearance but highly rated when it comes to care. At the time of my great-grandmothers stay, the walls were being painted in the main entry areas. This was an extremely welcome change, because the current colors were sickly pastel green and yellow shades, kind of like what you would see in a bad nursery setup. The color scheme in the resident rooms was neutral and rather cold feeling, definitely not very homey or relaxing. Of course these are just cosmetic complaints and from what I hear are being updated.The staff and nurses were always kind and helpful. Any questions that I may have asked regarding my grams health, diet or personal needs were always answered and I felt as if they took a personal interest in my great-grandmother. For instance, they knew her favorite activity was bingo and the staff would make sure she was always taken into the common room to play. Another nice amenity that Emerald Care has is its very own beauty parlor onsite. Becky offered cuts, styles, coloring and manicures & pedicures for the residents. This really made my great-grandmother feel special and pampered.
