Cogir of Edmonds

I just wanted to say that it was so wonderful to find COGIR of Edmonds for my disabled/ onset dementia young brother who’s only 62 yet found a loving family in COGIR of Edmonds. There’s consistently meals with entertainment and things to do. I would highly recommend this place for any of your special family members who need a little extra tender, loving care. I’m sure everyone wants to have the best care for their family members, and this would be the place to be.. The staff is very friendly and nice and easy to talk to and they always have delightful orange water and cookies upfront..

We were so thankful to find Cogir Of Edmonds for my Aunt and Uncle. My Aunt was in the memory care and received wonderful care and my Uncle is in assisted living and always comments about how kind and friendly the staff is and raves about the meals. We couldn't be happier with the care they have received.

My MIL had a lot of anxiety about moving into assisted living so … we did too. But her Alzheimer’s was progressing & the volume of things in her condo was causing more harm than good; a change and more help were needed. The first time my husband and I toured Cogir, we just felt this was her home. The staff all knew each other, the space was inviting and easy to navigate, everyone said hello to everyone — all good signs that she would feel right at home and we would feel relieved to know she was amongst good caring people. Since her first day at Cogir, my MIL has had a smile on her face. It’s like she’s been able to regain her old self (the woman she was before she started trying so hard to hide the shame/embarrassment she felt due to memory loss). We 1000% attribute her happiness to the friends and friendly staff she has come to live amongst at Cogir. And we are forever grateful we found this caring community for her to live out her days.

My mom has been at COGIR for three years. Everyone know her and loves her and always says hello [name removed]. They know me also. It’s that that matters they take the time to get to know all the residents and their family. Always letting me know good and bad things and often funny times. Everyone usually has a smile on their face and I feel the staff genuinely likes working there. I feel stress free and happy my mom is there.

My husband and I have been at Cogir for 6 months now. We are so glad we came here. All of the people that work here are so friendly and caring. They know your name and greet you with a smile. The building is clean and cared for, the food is good and I don't have to cook anymore or wash the dishes after. The people that live here are friendly too. It is just a very nice place to be and feel welcome and safe.

Cogir is a wonderful community! The staff is caring and attentive; you can tell they really care about the people they serve. There is a fun range of activities that my mom loves. I wish we would have found this community for her years ago! I have such piece of mind knowing she is in a safe, clean, fun environment and all of her needs are met. Our family is known by name with the staff and we enjoy joining in on activities and meals when we are able. Exceptional!

My mom has been at Cogir of Edmonds for 1 year now. She has enjoyed everyday. They have taken excellent care of her. The activities have kept her busy, active and able to form many wonderful relationships with the other residence. It's brought back a new 'life' in her that had been diminishing. It is so wonderful that there are all meals served in the beautiful dining room. The menu is pleasing and it lets me know she is not alone but rather with true friends which she has much in common with. It's done so much good for her to be with her pier group. Cogir is rated high because it is a wonderful place!!!!

For the meals and dining - prepared well, but often cold, congealed, and missing things like gravy butter on mashed potatoes, and soup as requested. Great people/staff, but quite the environment my dad wants. Yes, we would recommend Cogir of Edmonds for independent and limited assisted-living. What I really really really really liked about Cojir of Edmonds was the friendly caring attitude of everyone. They really made you feel like family.

Because of mom’s blindness, it was important for us to find a place where she could navigate to the activities on her own. Larger places are just harder for her to navigate, and Cogir of Edmunds was a perfect fit. The staff has been great and we love them.

I have seen many AL/MC communities and Edmonds Cogir is on the top of my list. The ED is fantastic and is always available when needed. The care staff are wonderful and are willing to help when you need them. They are ready for any emergency or questions that come up. Love this community and would highly recommend

It's a small community with 40 assisted living residents which makes it easy to know everyone and feel part of the group. Also I have a balcony that looks out on trees. I would definitely recommend Cogir of Edmonds to others.

Cogir has been a vey positive place for my Dad and family, he joined Cogir in a wheelchair and was having problems talking and recognizing family members. A month in his wheelchair is put away and he is walking well with a walker. The positive enthusiasm and interactive care has really helped with his elderly journey. Cogir has been the best choice for my 89 year old dad and even though it’s hard tho have him in a care facility. It is a good feeling knowing he is in loving hands.

The first time we toured the energy level of the employees was great and it appeared they all liked working at COGIR. That was a year and half ago. Some employees have changed but the feeling is still there. Everyone knows my mom and says "Hi [name removed]". It's a great environment and I'm glad my mom is there and getting the best care. Dementia is a stressful thing to take on as family members. My stress level as greatly decrease since we made the decision to move my mom to Cogir. I always make sure to say thank you to everyone because I genuinely feel thankful.

I have nothing but good things to say about Cogir of Edmonds. Everyone has been lovely to my father and me, from the beginning of the process and on. I appreciate the staff and also the food is high quality.

We were only there from [dates removed] thru [dates removed] this year. The Director [name removed] made everything so special and she is so kind and caring. [name removed] is a Special Person and helped my Father and I so much. [name removed] still keeps in contact and always wants to know how dad is doing. [name removed] passion for helping people is one of a kind

Residents seemed happy and enthusiastic about living there. Large, clean and comfortable rooms and public spaces. Loved one was there for a 30 day respite care and that the facilities location across the street from her PCP and a hospital was also a plus.

It appears that this company is in transition. My mother's only been here for six months, during this time the aids, staff and opportunities are on constant change. They really need consistency, and that has not been shown thus far. She just does not know whom to trust with so much change, makes it hard.

Cogir of Edmonds is very aesthetically nice, welcoming, clean, nothing smells bad, and everyone is wonderful. when I was recommended this place I thought my mom was on a rapid declined and wasn't sure where she was headed and I'm still not sure, but there are days where she is really thriving here and I never thought I'd see that. I haven't personally participated in activities, but when I visit and try to find her I often find her participating in activities. for the first time ever, she made a painting that was hung up. I came in on a different day and found her playing balloon volley ball with a bunch of other residents. I think they could add a bit more excursions, because that is not going on right now. I think that Cogir is the right size, some places are too big, but its the perfect size for my mom and for me. you don't get lost, its not overwhelmingly large. again, everyone is amazing, but I do have concerns with communication sometimes. I'm unsure if her laundry is being done, I'm unsure if someone is coming in to clean her room. I'm presuming those things are being done because it's included in what they offer each month. it just hasn't exactly been communicated to me. it's difficult getting a straight answer from my loved one because of her state of being. my mom is very picky when it comes to food and she is inconsistent on what she reports back to me about the food. however, I do love that they encourage her to join in on the meals. she is eating a lot more even if she doesn't like what's being served. she did mention that they always offer a grilled cheese if she doesn't want what's on the menu, so they seem to be accommodating in that regard. overall, Cogir is a place I'd want to end up if I need assisted living in the future.

Right now nationwide there's a shortage of workers. Cogir has been victim to that as well and has not had enough people working. And then on top of that, they had a Covid outbreak. You could tell the caregivers were exhausted, which concerned my parents. They were obviously working very very hard but didn't seem to have the staffing to meet the needs of the community, which was evident to us in their several weeks' respite stay. My parents are both in wheelchairs, and the doorframes into the bathroom on the 1-bedroom and studio units are very narrow and don't seem like they're set up for wheelchair residents. So keep that in mind if your loved one is wheelchair-bound. They did have a lot of other ADA accommodations, but they did not make the door frames large enough. For us, one of the best things about our experience was we were in a desperate situation to find a place, and they allowed us to rent instead of buy in. I couldn't find any other place that would offer a furnished place for a rental, and [name removed] in sales was extraordinary. She called me back on Thanksgiving night, was very accommodating, got a room ready and painted, and went way out of her way. She even got a king size bed for my parents, which is hard to come by in senior living. I can't say enough about the staff in general. They are amazing. [Name removed] the head nurse oversees the entire care team and is phenomenal. He is very bright and a very skilled nurse. He has anticipated issues with my parents and run interference with their doctors. He has been incredible. Probably the best part of the experience has been him and his team. For my parent's needs, we had a great experience. It's maybe not quite as active of a community as we were expecting, due to many residents with higher care needs. But for the right resident, it's a great community.
