Deer Ridge Memory Care in Puyallup, WA

Regency Newcastle

Really enjoyed my stay. Wonderful staff. Breakfast is served a little to early for me.I really like the varirty of activities. I was at Newcastle 14 days i met a lot of nice people with each of them having an interesting story to tell.

Ashley Gardens of Bremerton
4.2

Ashley Garden of Bremerton is going okay. My son has adjusted pretty well. I don't understand why he has to pay $25 a month for rubber gloves. It seems like a family plan because it's a smaller facility. Some staff are friendlier than others. I think the care is good. I took in a case of pop and I didn't like the idea of them taking it to his room. Of course he drank more than he should. When they found out they said they could keep it in the laundry room. But the personal I initially dealt with didn't suggest that. There are just some inconsistencies with some of the staff. It seems to depend on who you get.
