Recent reviews of Memory Care in Whatcom County, WA
Ashley Gardens of Mount Vernon
5.0 / 5.0

The community is just great. They have lots of activities and posted pictures on their Facebook page so we can see them enjoy the activities. They are starting to get folks out of the community and are doing driving trips around town. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

Maple Ridge Seniors Village
5.0 / 5.0

My Mom has a progressive dementia and this has been a good place for her. They have a full spectrum of care in the facility so are well-experienced with these issues. The pricing is intermediate with respect to what we looked at. It is not as expensive once you move out of the Vancouver core area to Maple Ridge. They have always been clear on what things cost. There is a lot of local shopping, banks, restaurants within walking distance. But you don't have local traffic noise in the facility. The meals that I have attended are always well done. The place has always been clean and the residents cheerful and engaged. My Mom has been happy there.

Fields Senior Living at Smokey Point in Arlington, WA
4.9 / 5.0

So far I have no complaints they keep my loved one busy puzzles and more activities in this community. They are keeping them busy and doing a wonderful job at this community. I want my loved one safe, clean and happy and not far away from me. I do not drive and I am able to take Uber to go see him for a reasonable amount but the cost is high and does add up at the community. I am satisfied with this community and my husband is happy. He praises the caretakers and he is clean and well fed. He is as happy as he can be.
