Cogir Senior Living

Excellent restaurant with top notch food choices. The move in was excellent with a move in coordinator.

Staff was very friendly and caring and when my sister entered hospice care she was allowed to stay there until she died unlike the first facility where she was for the first 2 1/2 years of dementia care. My sister was in care for dementia for three years and was only at Beverly Lake her last six months. I don't have any negative feelings about the facility. However the first facility she was in was just awful.

We were looking for a place for our mom to reside where she could be surrounded by Japanese residents and be able to communicate in Japanese. Nikkei Gardens was the best choice for her. It was, admittedly, a long distance from where we live but the staff was so good about communicating with us that we felt at ease about our decision. She enjoyed the food and the activities that were provided. We received notifications of all the activities she was attending so we didn't have to worry whether she was getting out or not. She received very good care from the staff. They went out of their way to make her, and us, feel welcome. All-in-all it was a very good choice.

For years my Mom resisted moving to assisted living. If she had she would have easily doubled her enjoyment of the years she had at Nikkei. Being an Issei she really appreciated all the food and the variety of same, She participated in many activities, made lots of friends and even met people she knew and many that she knew through others. The 5 stars is well-deserved.

Our 88 year old mom had been living on her own and declining for some time. She had a bad fall which lead us to look for a safer living situation where she would be less isolated and looked after with care. We are so lucky - and grateful - to have found Nikkei. Our mom moved in about two months ago, and we could not have had a better transition and outcome. She is so much healthier, gained much need weight and strength, and enjoying herself so much. She now has a schedule and a sense of purpose (for meals, activities, saying hello to her neighbors and team - ikigai). I joke (but am serious!) that at 88 years, she is living her best life. From the very beginning and through every encounter with every person at Nikkei, we have been so impressed by the consistent professionalism, going above and beyond, friendliness, and a feeling that everyone cares. The facilities are well looked after and the services are great. We could not recommend Nikkei Senior Gardens more highly.

My aunt has been treated with friendliness and kindness during her stay at Nikkei Senior Gardens. The staff allows her freedom to plan her day but also reminds her of activities and appointments that she may forget. Her necessary medication is monitored and administered daily. Her studio room is spacious. There are also one-bedroom units available. The Japanese-American cultural environment shows itself in activities and in meals where a choice of Eastern style or Western style cuisine is offered. The lobby is bright, clean, and welcoming. The facility is very clean and well taken care of. My aunt walks her small dog in the Japanese-style garden and among the citrus and other fruit trees in the planting garden. I highly recommend NSG if you are looking for such an environment for your loved one.

From what we have observed, Avavmere Cascadia has an excellent CNA and care caregiver staff. All the ones we’ve met seem to really care about the tenants. [Name removed] a CNA even takes care of one lady‘s hair always making it cute. The kitchen staff with lead server [name removed] are all friendly and efficient. The meals always look good. [Name removed] was very professional during our orientation and continues to resolve issues. [Name removed] keeps the social life going and always decorating on the holidays. The building is kept very clean. Steve and Dee Dee Joslin

We knew as a family that Nikkei Senior Gardens was the right place for my mother as soon as we saw how happy the staff and the residents were there. They have an awesome management team, a super caring, and amazing team of nurses and caregivers. We appreciate how much they communicate with us and how well they help care for my mother. It is reassuring to know she is in good hands. She has made friends and enjoys participating in the facility's activities. The food is also really good! We had a taste of their cooking a few times and we were not disappointed.

Nikkei Senior Gardens welcomed our aunt a couple of years ago with open arms. She lived there with an outstanding staff who made sure her emotional and physical needs were met. With any issue big or small, the personable staff helped her to adapt to her new home. With excellent food, residents look forward to meal time. The Japanese food as well as other food was described as the best. When you enter Nikkei Gardens you will see framed testimonials, awards and news articles touting the wonderful and exceptional care they offer. Beautiful Japanese gardens are maintained for the residents to enjoy and peacefully stroll through. Like a breath of fresh air, Nikkei Gardens is clean and spotless. With the outstanding staff and the loving care residents receive, Nikkei is “The Place to be!”

[Name removed] always expressed to us how happy she was at Nikkei Gardens. We felt we had made a wise choice. The staff was caring and attentive. They were sure to notify us whenever there was a change in her health. During Covid the proper precautions were always maintained. [Name removed] enjoyed the many activities offered. We had no hesitation in giving it 5 stars.

Cadence is a great community. A few specific things that I'm thinking of: The pool is lovely and has a special chair to help someone get into it. Caregivers respond to family questions quickly, are very kind, and they even help my dad in memory care FaceTime with me. The independent living apartments have nice outdoor space for my mom to have plants and bird feeders.

My uncle and auntie transitioned into Nikkei in the assisted living and memory care wings respectively. We (and they) couldn’t be happier with the level of care, engagement and attentive service to their residents. The variety of activities and meals are well thought out ahead of schedule so the residents can plan accordingly. It’s a blessing and relief knowing that they are well looked after by the amazing(!!) and caring staff. Not only do they make their residents feel like family but also the families of the residents. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Excellent memory care facility. I chose it because all of the resident rooms are off one central "great room", which means no hallways or long walks, and staff can see everyone most of the time. Most residents keep their doors open. It's very welcoming, and I was reassured that staff always have eyes on the memory care residents and my Mom never felt alone.

I was very happy with Moms care in the memory center of Cadence. The meals are hard to evaluate because the memory care section needs to usually be ground or softened, but they were very good about getting the clients in the lunch room on time. I was unable to evaluate the laundry service. I came every week to 3 days to gather up her clothes to wash and bring back. Housekeeping was there every day cleaning in the morning. The place was clean in my experience. Moms bed linen was clean. They always called me if she fell or there was any other incident. She was well supervised Their billing was a little bit hard to understand, but they just went from one system to another last year. I would suggest that any new family visit weekly and get to know the care givers. This always brings about better communication.

I have an aunt and uncle that n3ede a place to retire and after many tours , we decided to have them here . It was a great experience from beginning to end. Love the staff. They treated my family like they were family and that ment a lot to me and my sisters.

If you haven't been to Andara Senior Living, you need to check out this jewel in Scottsdale. Great customer service and friendly team. They have numerous floor plans to meet all of your needs. The residents are engaged, happy and welcoming.

My father just passed away after living at Bay Pointe for 2 1/2 years. He had one request when he agreed to move to Assisted Living. “I want to be around nice people”. I work as an in home physical therapist and had experience with several facilities in the area. My sisters and I visited several places in Kitsap County. We weren’t necessarily interested in fancy buildings or gourmet type meals. We asked lots of questions about the staff, their longevity, how the company treated their employees, turnover, relationships with an in house doctor, on-site physical and occupational therapy. Dad had an Alzheimer’s diagnosis and it also mattered that he would be able to move to stay at his facility if/when it was necessary for him to move to a memory care ward. This review is limited to 1000 words or else I could write pages of praises about the flexibility, love, care and support my father and our family received. We are so grateful to this wonderful place.

I chose Cadence at Wake Forest because of the proximity to my house and I considered it the best of the options in Wake Forest. I spoke to other families and they said their parents were happy there. Their Activity Director in memory care is great. Staff is helpful.

Really enjoy all the friendly smiles.around here . The support to the residents and staff and all the family’s warms the heart. All the activities and great food brings happiness to everyone here. feeling so welcome by the whole management team!!! What. Great place to call home !!

The sales director, [name removed], has done such an amazing job keeping in touch with me in my journey of looking for an assisted living. She is kind and lovely. I ended up not needing to move my father but I would move him to Bayside Terrace if it was ever needed. They are so kind, patient with all of my questions, and the community is beautiful and clean. It smells clean. There are fresh cookies and infused water in the lobby. Everyone greets you with a smile. Heck, I would move in if I was old enough! If the time comes up again, Bayside will be our choice.
