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.

My husband and I are at Aegis of Lynnwood. So far, so good. My husband says he's comfortable except for lockdown. We can't get out and go in the community without going back into quarantine, and it's more due to the COVID thing than anything else. We have a one-bedroom apartment with outdoor access and a patio. The staff is pretty good. The food is well planned, well cooked, and very good. We have various activities and I attend some of them, but not all. They try very hard for us.

It was very nice. The people were very helpful, giving advice even if it was just in general, beyond placing my mother there. The whole experience was very good. We saw two apartments, one was respite care because we had talked about having Mom go there for a while. It probably had the most realistic furniture in respite care. The other one was a model, and there was a lot of space for a studio. The particular one we saw had its own balcony, so that was very nice. I saw an outside area, which was average compared to other places I've seen. It was nice, but some places have more of a garden feel. This one was more like a patio. It's in a very urban area off of Highway 99.

We toured Cascadian Place. The place is very nice. It's definitely for independent living. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who gets confused easily because it is rather large to find your way around. The man that gave us the tour was great. Very helpful. What I liked least is that it was confusing for my mom to get around in because it's big. It seems very well kept up and clean. It's more like a hotel.
