6 Nursing Homes Communities in Everett, Washington

Washington Oakes was a beautiful place, but I don't think that is a place for me. I met a lot of people, but I didn't feel like there was enough of the people who live there that were walking around or out and about. I just felt like maybe people stay in their rooms a lot now, especially for the virus. I think everybody cannot be milling around very much. I didn't feel like there was a lot of social things going on, and that's what I need. I need some socialization. The staff was excellent, and she took us around the whole place. We were there for almost two hours. They had exercise rooms, a gym, a big room that you can use for weddings and so forth, and there was storage for each person outside their own rooms. The dining room was beautiful, and the menu looked wonderful. I didn't feel like there was enough of an outside area where you would think that people would be going to sit outside, because it was a sunny day, but maybe they cannot do face-to-face because of the virus. It was very nice and very clean, and the rooms were beautiful, and a lot of them had windows that you could actually look out somewhere else, even though I would still like an outside area where you can meet people besides the dining room. Everybody was great. The food was excellent. I was so amazed with the food. I think I'd like to live there just to eat, and they had a wonderful chef. It was well laid out and the hallways were all connected. Because there's more than one building, you can walk from one to the other. The elevators were excellent and clean.

Our tour at Washington Oakes was fine. It was professional and knowledgeable. The place was beautiful and immaculate. It's a good location in a very walkable neighborhood. The community is large; there three large buildings. The rooms are clean. It's classy and very nice. It's overall very positive, but it's just too big, too confusing, and too overwhelming for my dad. It would have been where I chose to live if it had been up to me.

It has been great. My father really likes it. I have no complaints. His room is just a studio with a little kitchenette, a counter with a sink, a place for a microwave, ample closet space, and an enclosed patio. They have a full calendar of activities. The staff is very professional, attentive, and helpful. I have no problems. It is independent living, although they have caregivers on-staff that help with medication, bathing, and whatever they need. They have a little chapel, laundry facilities, a movie area where they have a big screen TV with couches, and a library.

Brookdale Silver Lake is wonderful. My husband's room is clean, warm and nice. He's out with everybody and they're keeping him busy. The staff is very good and they all seem to like working. The food is pretty good. They have a town square where they meet a couple times a day and they have television rooms. They have dining rooms and there were four persons to a table. They take them out on outings.

Brookdale Arbor Place is a beautiful facility and the rooms were very nice. The amenities were nice and they have a great menu. They just really went above and beyond as far as going out and visiting my dad. It's in a great location and it's right by a major store and medical facility. The rooms were very nice, updated, and clean. They had a lot of activities like men's group, card groups, and movie nights. The staff I interacted with was wonderful.
