Leisure Care, LLC/One Eighty

The staff are very helpful at making sure my room and bathroom stays clean. The meals are pleasant, but there is room for improvement. They have a great exercise class and many activities throughout the week. My loved one and I are overall very pleased.

My family member was apprehensive of the "unknown" in a place that she wasn't familiar with. The beautiful lobby, festive atmosphere, caring staff and well maintained grounds seemed like a safe place and environment. She has been in her apartment two weeks now and she seems happy! It is on the pricey side but her laughter when I talk to her is well worth it A special Thanks to [Removed], senior advisor, a place for mom. She rocks!!

My mother is doing pretty well here at this community. From what my brother has told be she being cared for well here. The community looks nice and well-kept. The staff is nice and helpful. So far everything is working out good. It is a nice community and I would recommend it.

The person that conducted my tour was nice. The residents here seemed a little younger in age and I was not sure this would be the right fit for my mom. It looked more modern and it was clean.

This is a very nice community with good care. Staff members are very helpful and caring. They offer good meals with a nice variety. There are alot of activities offered. I recommend this community for great care for families.

The staff at Fairwinds is really friendly and communicate very well. The activities offered are wonderful my father has been engaging in them. The meals are okay it would definitely be better if another meal was included through out the day instead of just one. Everything is kept clean even though there is some remodeling going on. Overall a great community.

I toured this community for my mother. It was a decent tour. The community looked well maintained. The staff was informative and polite. This was a convenient location for us, because it was close to where I lived. Overall my mother wanted to stay closer to where she used to live, but my tour went well.

My father has just moved into this community. We are very happy with the excellent staff and they are are very helpful. Alot of activities are offered for him when he is settled and wants to participate in. The environment is very clean. Outstanding medical team in all areas for my father to have great care. We would highly recommend this to other families for care for a loved one.

I was able to take a tour with my friend. We thought the facility looked lovely and had all the was needed for care. We were shown everything there was to be offered. It was a fine tour but my friend preferred to be in her own home.

My tour of this community went very well. The community looked nice and tidy. We tired meal and the food was great. I did notice some activities they offer. The staff was kind and welcoming. It was a little bit expensive for our budget, but this is a nice community.

I liked seeing the nice community. I was provided with all the information needed. It is a newer facility and I got to see all the nice amenities. I felt the price was a bit much in price.

Looks new, vibrant, fun. Love the "Resort" mentality.. and it also has assistaed living, if we need it.

The community is clean, well taken care of and I would recommend it. The sandwiches, salads and desserts are excellent. You are able to order off a menu and they have 2 main entrees for lunch and dinner. Sometimes these are not the best. The staff are friendly.

I have my friend living at this community and the experience is good for the care part. My friend complains about feeling like a jail because the facility is secure. There is an open garden and I hope he uses that to go out too. The community seems to make good food, he gets diabetic meals and gets help with his medication.

My wife and I took on the task of researching places in WA for my mother while she recovered from some medical issues in Tucson AZ. She was currently residing in AZ, but she knew the time had come for her move and live closer to family. And that she would need a place where she could live that could offer monitoring, and assistance, if needed. Although the ultimate decision of where she would now call "home" would be left to her, we decided to visit multiple places and help narrow down the choices of where we felt she would be most happy. Without naming all the places we visited, let me say, we did visit most...and here's what we found. All the places were fairly similar regarding room sizes, included meals, services, the way they handled transportation, and activities. There are some things that all places, such as these, are required to offer so, you won't find a lot of differences from one place to another. Monthly rent can be significantly different at each place. Also, BEWARE of the dreaded "Community Fee" that you will be required to pay at ALL of these places. Some were as high as $4000.00! Also, there's a difference in how each place may charge for any "assistance services" that may be needed. Food quality ranged from decent, to really good. They all seemed to offer a well balanced menu, and a good variety for their meals. We took the opportunity to try the meals at most places. At WA Oakes, I would say their meals were really good! WA Oakes was certainly competitive when it came down to the cost of rent. And we also found that they included some other benefits, like anytime transportation, without charge. There are some other small, but distinct differences that we liked also. Regarding the community fee... WA Oakes takes the lead in being a place that doesn't charge an excessive community fee. And part of that fee was offset by the down payment. So kudos to WA Oakes for keeping in mind that, with the sticker shock a lot of people will already feel moving into a new place like this, they don't compound that shock by charging an excessive amount for some made up, ridiculous fee. Needless to say, my mother has chosen to live at WA Oakes. Although the cost was an important factor initially, it was the "feel" she got from the place, and the people, that ultimately helped her to decide that this is the place she wanted to live. Here's a nice coincidence...although we never said anything to my mother, after my wife and I spent the time visiting all these places, we both had placed WA Oakes at the top of our list! So we felt good with her choice. My advice for people who are looking for a place such as WA Oakes....visit as many as possible, whether your looking for yourself or a family member. Obviously, everybody will see, or find something they prefer at one place over another, but I would highly recommend you take the time to visit WA Oakes when you are looking.

My mother just recently, this week, moved into Washington Oaks Retirement Community in Everett, WA. She has been met by friendly employees and residents right from the first day. The management has offered and given her help when needed and has made it easier for her to meet others and enjoy the activities. I heard about this retirement community from Katie at A Place for Mom. She was so wonderfully helpful to me when I was upset and confused about what to do for Mom who had just suffered two strokes. She was great in guiding but not pushing me. I bonded with her immediately, yet I have never been able to meet her, as she says her role is to guide behind the scenes. Well, great job, Katie, and to everyone at Washington Oaks. My mom has just been there five days and seems very pleased!

There was some confusion about the additional cost for assisted living -- apparently there was a price increase after we'd made our initial inquiry -- but overall, both my father and I are very pleased with the staff, the facility, and the level of care he's receiving.

I was helping my friend find a place because she wasn't able to stay at home anymore. She has adjusted well to the community. She is doing well and seems happy here. This is a nice community and everything is working out well.

Right now this is our second choice. They have both independent living and assisted living but you need to shift wings if you need to change your level of care. Didn’t try the food. Residents look pretty happy and lively. Nice grounds. Close to 3Gs!

My mother is doing great! She seems to be adjusting well since her move into Grand Villa. The community is a nice, clean looking community and very well-kept. Staff here are friendly and helpful with everything. There are activities offered at the community, and my mother is slowly partaking in them. The residents are nice and sweet and my mother loves the food as well. Great place and I would recommend it.
