Cordata Court in Bellingham, WA

My parents have adjusted well to assisted living and like the staff. The place isn't perfect but I feel as if my parents are in good care.

The Vintage at Mount Vernon
5.0

I've had a great experience here so far, I'd recommend this place highly! You get quite a lot for what you pay here, they are "apartment homes" so each unit has a small fully equipped kitchen, and a washer and dryer. The complex also has a gym, billiard room, and a great room for socializing. The front office people are very friendly, cordial, and personable, and they made the transition as easy as could be!

Leopold Retirement in Bellingham, WA
5.0

I'm so glad my family and I chose this community for my new home. The caregivers and staff are kind and helpful. Only had 1 room available but will be getting a bigger one soon I hope. The Activities are amazing her like bingo, arts&crafts, bridge and even a Happy Hour. They have a bus that will take us shopping. They have a chef here that makes wonderful food. I would recommend this to anyone.
