Regency Newcastle
4.8

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.

Chateau at Valley Center in Renton, WA
5.0

My sister and I could not be more pleased with the care our parents have received while living at the Chateau at Valley Center. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with a smile. The staff is amazing and truly care for the residents. The facilities are beautiful and always seasonally decorated. The food is truly delicious and the dining room staff spectacular. Our Dad needed assisted living services and the care takers treated him like their own family. The Chateau is conveniently located 5 minutes away from MD offices and the hospital. There is so much more we could say. We whole heartedly recommend the Chateau at Valley Center.
