Cogir of Queen Anne

The staff at Cogir were very responsive and attune to my mom’s needs during her move in. Lots of great activities for her to participate in, and she has made a number of friends in the short time she has been there. Great experience so far!

There has been quite a bit of turnover with staff and directors. When we first got there, we were told she could only have two meals, however, then we found it they were charging us for three we asked for a refund. They said they would do a discount on the rent and they haven't they've actually increased it by I don't remember what percent but it's another thing we're struggling with. When we first got there, they had a chef and the food was amazing. That was part of the draw is he was an award-winning chef. I believe that lasted a month or two. Since then, it has been a real struggle. It is almost to where we might find a new spot. If you were at a point in your life, were you needed care the caregivers they bring in all the nurses assistants are immigrants who do not seem to speak the language. They talk among themselves, but I have not seen them interact with people living at the care facility. That is the saddest part to me. There does not seem to be any interaction between care providers and the people they're helping. Once Mom gets to that point we will move her.

Overall it is a great location. Food is above average, views are incredible, rooms are nice. High turnover in staff, but that could be more indicative of industry. The prices went up a considerable amount less than one year in, way more than what they said they expected.

Terrific people. The major reason is that it offered a choice for independent living and assisted living. Not yet ready for assisted and grateful it will be there when needed. Also the apartments, the gardens and the views are beatiful.

Excellent structure, fantastic cuisine, excellent activities, and the staff show great attention to residents' health care needs. The community and its activities are thoughtful and inclusive there is a movie theater inside the building with a new movie every night.

Exceptional personal kindness and professional support. Outstanding 24 hour support and attention! Attentive personal service from Staff, medical personnel and housekeeping support. Superb offering of specially planned community wide experience housekeeping support. Exceptional dining service. Dining staff knew my first name on my second day of residency, Superb menu quality and attentive personal dining service. A special honor to be personally introduced to the unique life stories of each resident. Living here is positive life experience.

Incredible culture, lovely place to work. Would highly recommend. Outstanding customer service. All staff members are extremely friendly and kind when in the building. Best place to put your loved one and all of king county.

Activites are outstanding and plentiful. Something for everyone. NO matter what you abilities there is something for out in the activity department! Trips to parks, bingo, crafts, exrcise, movies and social gathering such with snacks ike a sundae or birthday cake. SUch great people work in the activity center also! Lona is very fun and also professional. If you like trips to shop or special events there are 2 accessible buses and a car to take you out for fun or doctor appointments.

I am not receiving care at Cogir of Queen Anne, I'm in independent living. I also have not signed up for any meal plans. Thus those items are not applicable for me . All else is very satisfactory. There are a variety of activities are offered each week, including music performances, nature walks and excursions.

I would have happily left 5 stars instead of 4. However when I was introduced to the building manager I was taken by surprise. She wore jeans with holes in the legs, and flip flops. Not even sure she combed her hair that morning. She paid very little attention to anything I had to say. Apparently her phone was of more importance than I was. She kept checking it and texted several times. She never made eye contact with me either. I had to repeat myself several times. I was increasing becoming angry. If it hadn't been for little gal that was doing the sales I would have walked out. She actually listened to what I said. She was very kind and helpful. I at least owed her the respect of finishing the meeting. i had already made my mind up to a No! They do have beautiful rooms, with beautiful views. I really was sold on moving in until I met the building manager.

My mom lived here for 7 years. The last year has been awful. A lot of staff turnover, too many agency workers who don’t care, unresponsive manager & terrible. Facilities need updating inside & outside

Cogir Queen Anne has a great Activities Team. Our calendars are always full with a wide variety of activities to participate in both on site and on outings. Keep up the great work [name removed], [name removed], and [name removed]! Many Thanks!

Every month, my partner and I run a trivia activity at Cogir Queen Anne. When we arrive, the activities director and the staff are always engaged with the residents. They stay and play trivia, each at a different team. It’s clear that they know these residents well and genuinely care about their well being. We always have a lot of laughs and it just feels warm. I have been impressed with how the new residents from Northgate have been welcomed by staff and residents. It’s a pleasure to work in this community!

The Activities here are amazing! So varied, learning, fitness, trips, health, lectures, social events, socializing. So glad we moved here to be part of all this. Special events like Cinco De Mayo, music,

The organization and staff here are very effective in taking care of my basic needs as an older independent and doing it in a very friendly way. =Aside from basic needs, many different activities are provided by a highly capable and motivated activity director and staff. These activities include things done inside our residence building, and other activities done outside. Internal activities give a very varied mix of things to do, including presentations by visiting experts in various fields. =My favorite services are the outside bus trips which go to a wide variety of locations both near and far. Both scenic drives and walks are done, with targets including the mountains, the ocean coast, restaurants, museums, zoos, aquariums, entertainment, casinos and many others. =These activities provide positive effects of recreation, stopping feelings of confinement, learning your area, exercise, stress reduction and many others. The activities make me feel very comfortable and happy.

I moved into Cogir in Lower Queen Anne last fall. Previously I had lived in an apartment close by. I was shown several available apartments and chose one overlooking the garden. At my first meal at Cogir, I made friends with the interesting women who were my table mates. Within the first days I was pleasantly surprised by the activities offered at Cogir, particularly the daily exercise program as well as informative lectures, yoga and happily, Bingo! I was amazed that all employees had learned my first name, seemingly overnight! The waiters and waitresses are unfailingly pleasant, staff at the front desk are always helpful and the program staff are truly amazing! To my amazement, everyone has helped me feel truly at home here and I am beyond grateful!

Cogir at Queen Anne is always a great experience when I play music there. The staff always makes us feel like family and they are very good at getting everyone involved in the music. The smiles on the faces from the time I get there till the time I leave is assurance that we will always have a good time. I play music at several retirement centers in the Seattle area and it's always a good time coming to Cogir of Queen Anne. Very down to earth and a caring staff and a warm environment.

Our Activities Director, [name removed] is professional, personable, and full of energy! She is always available......completing all kinds of activities; drives the bus; knows all residents and is always fun to be around. She completes the monthly calendar with events and outings. Often she cooks a special item for residents to eat in the Activities Room. At Happy Hour she will be serving and dancing with residents. [name removed] is a special lady and deserves recognition.

I think we have a spectacular Activities department. [name removed] and [name removed]are full of great ideas for our fun , interesting and eventful things to do, be introduced to and participate in from art projects to music to lectures on film, museum showings, art talks to lunches, happy hours and drives to see beautiful places.
