Recent reviews of Independent Living in Steilacoom, WA
Farrington Court in Kent, WA
5.0

My 88 year old mother moved in 6 months ago. It has been the best thing to happen to her and the rest of the family too. She has her own one bedroom apartment with a full kitchen if needed although she eats all her meals down in the dining room with her new friends. There are so many activities and amenities there. She has her independence and we don't have to worry about her living alone after my dad died in 2020. The staff treat everyone like family. We looked at different places but this one felt like a home and it has turned out to be perfect. I can't say enough good things about it.
