[name removed] was such a caring person, she took great care of my husband. She always treated him with respect and compassion. [name removed] was excellent at keeping me informed of everything regarding my husband. My children and I are extremely happy with the care that was given to my husband during his time there.

Viktoria AFH in Bellevue, WA
4.5

My mother moved into Viktoria AFH about one month ago, and while she was completely resistant to doing so, she is content and happy. The staff treat her like she is gold, and make her feel loved and special. She loves them and especially the meals that they prepare from scratch every day. They are kind, attentive, and wonderful care givers. We feel very lucky that we found this home and that there was an opening. She is up and dressed every day and spends most of it in the common area with the staff and other residents, being encouraged to talk with them and participate. They are a happy, enthusiastic, and positive group of individuals that treat their residents as if they were their own relatives. Glad we found them!!
