I visited this facilityReview for Farrington Court

I'm interested in Farrington Court in Kent, but I haven't had the chance to get my mother-in-law there yet. Steve and Cristina are very warm and welcoming. I'm taking my mother-in-law to see the place. The facility was very nice and clean. Right now though, it's hard to comment on anything since everything's on lockdown, and because of the pandemic, I think they only have Bingo.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview for Farrington Court

My dad moved into assisted living at Farrington Court and they are excellent. They know me and my siblings because one of us is almost there every day, so they call us by our names. When we go to buy dinner tickets, they're always so friendly and helpful. My father has refused some of the assisted parts like assisted showers, and I told them that I need this service taken off the bill, so they're going to take that off the bill. We're getting what we're paying for. They have a lot of activities going on and they make sure my dad knows about them. They also have outings. They have a restaurant-style dining room. They only have two specials per day, but they have menus for the rest of the stuff. It's good food, but there's not a lot of variety.

Farrington Court was good and the staff explained everything really well and I saw what I needed to see. The rooms were pretty standard. There were some transition spaces that I didn't quite like. There were units that have been put together which were a little bit of a concern for us. They had standard types of activities and gathering, pretty much like what every other place had. They had a beauty shop, areas where people could sit and chat, so it was nice overall. The staff is very nice.

I visited this facilityReview for Farrington Court

When we went into Farrington Court, there was a sign that said they were hiring LPNs and RNs and staff people. If they're hiring, there's people leaving. The community was fine, though. The people were fine, and the woman we dealt with was knowledgeable. She took her time and talked to us. The rooms were older but well maintained. The facilities appeared to be minimal. We saw the dining room and one of the game rooms.

The city of Kent is the ninth-largest city in the state of Washington. Located in the heart of the Green River valley, it is roughly halfway between Seattle and Tacoma. Kent has a strong economy and is home to both the Boeing airplane company and the corporate headquarters of the REI outdoor apparel company. As a result, seniors enjoying assisted living in Kent have many available benefits.

Kent Activities

Many assisted living communities will provide their own activities, but Kent assisted living residents have the additional benefit of programs and services offered at the Kent Senior Activity Center. The center provides a wide variety of classes and activities in the arts, technology and fitness. They also provide free or low-cost services such as meals, haircuts, legal advice, massage and health screenings. The Activity Center also schedules regular outings for seniors to explore Kent and the surrounding areas. Popular outings include trips to Emerald Downs, a horse-racing track that operates during the summer in the nearby city of Auburn.

At Kent Station, seniors can stroll the open air mall and shop or dine at one of the Station’s many shops and restaurants. They can also take a class at a branch of Green River Community College, or catch a show on one of 14 theaters in the nearby Kent Station Theater.

For a more exotic shopping experience, seniors can also visit The Great Wall Shopping Mall which offers a unique collection of Asian stores and restaurants influenced by a variety of cultures including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino and Taiwanese.
