GenCare

My Mother-In-Law really likes it at this facility. In the beginning, we had to be assertive because the staff members weren’t as organized in getting her care set up. It took a little bit for them to get everything together to provide my Mother-In-Law with assistance bathing and doing laundry. They do offer a lot of activities like exercise groups, bingo, karaoke, and live music. Their services are an a la carte menu and the housekeeping staff comes once a week to clean her room. I love this facility because they are in a great location. They are near my Mother-In-Law’s doctor offices, farmers markets, little shops, and restaurants. I would recommend this facility to other families.

Mom is still adjusting to living at this community. They do keep the community clean and the grounds are nice. The memory care area is a locked down small area. The assisted living area is larger and a little nicer. We have been working through some minor issues such as her clothes coming up missing. The staff are nice and they encourage her to participate in some of the daily activities.

This community is a much better choice to have placed my mother in for her dementia. The staff was nice when we toured the community they provided us with a lot of information about pricing and packages . I feel my mom would have gotten the one on one attention and help that she is in need of. The community looked clean and the residents seemed nice but since it wasn't my decision my sister chose another location.

I had a good tour of GenCare Lifestyle. The lady that took me around was very pleasant and she answered all of my questions. The facility was older, and the atmosphere was depressing. It was not the best for my mother.

I thought that this place was very clean and well maintained by all the staff and residents. They where very welcoming to my dear friend and I and kept things very professional during our visit. I especially liked the menu they had available as well as the activity log they had for the week. It was just not the right fit of location for him. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone interested in an assisted living.

My tour of The Lodge at Egal Ridge was fine. They were able to answer my questions and show me around the facility. It was a good experience.

It was a good tour but it wasn't right for my mom. The community is a clean place and well run. The residents I saw seemed happy, healthy and involved. It was a really nice place and they didn't have the availability for the size of apartment we wanted.

I have been told that my mother is participating in activities daily. We chose this community because it is close to home. We toured it and liked the place.

When I toured the Madrona Park, I noticed that the place was very nice and so were the people. When I got there for my tour, the tour guide was on time and had a lot of information for me. The place was a good choice, but we picked another community that we thought would for my mother's needs better.

The Village at Granite Falls was a very nice place, but it was too far out of the way for us. Also, the place was very small and they did not have as much outside space as I was looking for. It was not a good fit for us.

I was able to take a tour of this place and I think that they have a nice community. the location is in a good place near stores and a good view. The staff was nice and seemed to be caring. This just was not the place for us.

I'am doing fine with this community and I have adjusted well to it. Only problem I've had have been with the Air conditioning does not work, I wish I would have known that before moving in. Over all everything is nice and everyone is very friendly. They offer great activities through out the week. The staff is great, they are very kind and helpful. I would say this community is a little bit expensive. I do like it here and I would recommend it.

This was a nice place, and was our second choice. They only offered two meals a day though. There was another community that we were considering that offered three meals a day. Had the other place not negotiated their price with us, we would have come here.

Emeritus at Steel Lake (now Leisure Care) is a very good place. My mother has dementia and has had a few challenges adjusting, and they have been very helpful in the process.

They are great. They are really nice there. The food is good, but they serve a lot of broccoli, and they serve a lot of soup, there isn't a ton of variety. It's a very nice place, she likes her little spot. I like that I am able to take a weekend to myself here and there. We are pretty happy with them.

They are very good at proactively communicating with us, keeping us informed of what is going on. They are always very accommodating and willing to facilitate any requests. Overall everything is going very well with The Lodge at Eagle Ridge and we would highly recommend them.

The surface amenities are only the start in evaluating the community. Questions such as How long does it take to get your meal? What activities are there and when are they? What is the participation? What are the safety rules for FIRE, electrical outage or Storm damage? Can the resident walk to dinner at least four times a day? What activities are of interest to the resident? Many people are looking only for a place to live and have no interest in the life of the community. You need to have an interest for improving your abilities this is not a mortuary but a living vital organism which requires the cooperation of the residents.

A Place For Mom was really helpful and followed up real quick when we were in a crisis situation. Really accomodating and helpful, so I'd give a five for that.

Programs very interesting and like the link with charities for purposeful 'work'. Will help keep mom focused and active.

Positives - time spent with us and knowledge/friendliness of staff. Jason the Concierge did tour - great job. Distance to NW kidney ctr and VMC good. Costs more in-line w/budget and willing to negotiate. Neg's - phase 2 apts not accredited for AL for 2 more years. Phase 1 general public spaces in need of a decorative lift w/ better lighting. Very dark. No memory care unit. Distance from apts to dining room quite a walk.
