Holiday Bridge Park

My loved one really likes the Bridge Park! We are very happy with A Place For Mom and happy they were able to help us into this community. When he first arrived, they had someone show him around. They do a fine job there. The food is good, I have eaten there a few times and they have good choices. The apartment he is in is comfortable and we are happy with how things are going.

The staff was so helpful; it made the transition more easy.

The director was good and answered my questions. The community was clean and the rest of the staff were very nice. The main reason I did not choose this community is due to the cost.

My sister moved into Bridge Park senior retirement living only 2 weeks ago but we have both been impressed with the helpfulness of all the staff, the cleanliness of the facility, the studio apartment size, the ease of moving. I find the food good, my sister enjoys it. the main meal is at lunch which I think is good.

The exterior of the building is beautiful but the interior is showing major signs of wear and tear. I visit a unit that was ready for a new occupant and one of the doors had a huge gouge in it that went through to the door core. The room sizes are great but overall it wasn't a good fit for us.

Bridge Park is the perfect place for Dad. Since he's moved in he's making friends and really appreciates the opportunity to socialize with his new neighbors. He enjoys playing scrabble with other residents and can even attend church services on site . Any time I go to visit, he makes sure we go down to the dining room a half hour early to engage in conversation with the other residents. The food is good and I've even heard of residents concerned about gaining weight since they moved in. The staff is caring, attentive and personable. if you are considering moving loved ones to Bridge Park, I'd definitely encourage you to go talk with Nathan, take a tour and share a meal with some of the residents. A great place that I highly recommend.

Our dad will be moving in soon. Staff was friendly and helpful. Facility is good value. Only negative is that residents can smoke in their rooms which is pretty unpleasant as you pass by in the hall.

Nate was extremely welcoming and helpful. Before I left he gave me a lot of information on things to consider during this search and made himself very available for any future questions.

The place seems nice and seems clean and the food is bland but pretty good, but my father really doesn't like it. Also the cost is at the very edge of what he can afford.

My brother is currently staying at Bridge Park. At first he was very resistant to the idea, but he was overwhelmed with the kindness that all the residents showed him. He had never been at a place where people were all so friendly and helpful. The meals were very appetizing for the most part, though my brother has complained about them a couple of times (though I am not sure I can fully trust his judgment).

I like Bridge Park. I have asked Nate to contact me again next Fall. Meanwhile he is keeping in touch with me. My daughter doesn't like the neighborhood.

Family member has been a resident for 3 years. Fabulous facility. Great rooms, lots of storage. Dining rooms & common areas are spacious & comfortable. Most rooms have nice outdoor areas & the facility has a nice inner courtyard. Parking is generous for both residents & visitors. Good access to shopping & services. Now for the downside: Inadequate laundry facilities, they look nice but very limited hours for residents use. But the worst problem is the food. Very uneven quality & service. They can put out good restaurant quality food & then the next meal is totally unacceptable. This week they served potatoes that were burned on the edges & raw in the middle (just an example). Totally unacceptable!! Soups may be good or look like dishwater. I just don't understand why their service can't be more even. Residents are a close knit group that look out for each other. I certainly hope they can improve their food service! Other problem is extremely high turnover for staff which is very distressing to the residents. Hard to develop relationships that seniors value. I can't count the managers that they have had in 3 years ( I would guess 12).

Love this place! Nice, community feeling, easy access to home medical care, staff and residents are very friendly with each other (Nate knows every resident by name), lovely park with community center and bee garden just across the street, spacious apartments, most with a deck or patio, pet-friendly. Nice schedule of activities, transportation to most areas in south Seattle and around the downtown core. Affordable options. I can see Mom being happy here!

It’s an independent living place, but there is an emergency call button in each room and they come right away when called. I recommend it highly for anyone who is ready to move and ready to live in an independent living community. It takes some adapting - any move takes some adapting.

I moved out of there almost as quickly as I got in. The management was just a joke. there was so much bureaucracy and politics that I felt like I'd moved in with a dysfunctional family. They basically set me up and lied to me. The minute I got there I got sick and I was sick almost the whole time I was there. The food was horrible. I didn't like the fact that they say they at age 55 and yet most of their people are in there are in their 80s. It's too bad because the facility itself is just beautiful. Maybe I was premature in thinking that a retirement facility was right for me. I was surrounded by people with all walkers, people with bibs and falling asleep with their food. I thought wait a minute, this is not what I signed up for! They didn't tell me that I was going to be dealing with people with Alzheimer's. I thought I was moving into a fairly active retirement community. It's really more of some kind of care facility. I'm so glad I'm out of there.

So far they've been excellent. My mother-in-law requires a little more care than independent living so having Homewell on site has been really useful. She loves the food and the staff has been really helpful. There is still a chance she will need assisted living in the future. Compared to a lot of other things they're quite affordable but they're still not cheap. For the activities, they're always doing cool stuff. They have poetry readings, outings, luaus! We've been really pleased.

Bridge Park is on the short list for my Mom and Stepdad. We really like the facility and what it has to offer. Our only reservation is that there are no financial options if they have to go on Medicaid in the future and would then need to move.
