Powell Homes

I will start out with the negative, the rooms could use an upgrade. Beyond that the food was good, the general staff was very good and the nursing was outstanding. My mother deteriorated fairly quickly and when hospice step in the nursing staff really stepped up their game.

My mother lived in Village Green for approximately 13 months before passing on. When we chose this facility it was because of its welcoming atmosphere, security and an adequate apartment that offered lots of light and a closeness to the nurses station. Unfortunately she wasn't able to see it prior to moving in but she was thrilled when walking into her new home for the first time. We were so happy with the immediate connection our mother made with special staff members. This facility was also close to our son's home as well as a few blocks from the nearest hospital. Although making this kind of transition is difficult, I feel that we couldn't have chosen a better choice for our loved one.

When Mom and I toured Daystar we were both drawn to the warmth of the community. Daystar has been vigilant about COVID protocols which I am ever thankful for. While lockdowns have been hard to get through, they have kept Mom safe. Daystar is an older facility that is in need of maintenance and updates. A few updates like new carpet and flooring have been made in my mom’s apartment. Chipped laminate countertops need updating. It would be great if they could upgrade the cable TV boxes. Mom enjoys her meals about 70% of the time. She wishes the quality was more consistent and that brown rice or rice pilaf could be served rather than white rice. She prefers not to eat fried food or breaded fish. She loves the salmon that is served, and all the ways that pasta is prepared. All the staff members are kind, caring people. We appreciate everything that they do to make Daystar a welcoming community.

My mom doesn't like the food, she says it is bland. Otherwise they are fine.

The staff at this community are nice and helpful. They offer a lot of activities. Mom likes the food and the community seems to be clean. I would recommend this community.

They have been very tolerant of my mothers craziness. Since mom has gotten there she has gotten more senile. But they have been very helpful and cooperative in the midst of a difficult adjustment and a rough transition. Every so often there is a little lack of communication.

My loved one was here before. It wasn't as clean, as the new place is. They sure did a lot more with socialization though. They are good about getting people to meet each other, and helping get conversations started. They call everyone by their first name and it's easier for people to get to know each other.

It seemed like a clean community when touring. I noticed there was a lot more older residents. It was okay for me. There was a feel that I was not comfortable with and I was trying to get lower expenses. I liked the lady who gave me the tour, she was very nice. This was not the community for us.

I like the location near shopping and bus lines. However, I found the place a little depressing. I may have to give it another look later on.

I tried to forget my first visit but I can't. She rushed me thru ad I didn't have dinner. I didn't see any of there guests.

The medical staff are incompetent. I would never recommend Village Green Senior Living West Seattle to anyone.
