"I moved in here about seven months ago from my home in Bothell, and could not be happier with the facility, that employs a very very attentive staff to the residence needs, very good meal choices, and with over 200 residents here I have yet to hear any negative comments about the care or the facility. I was a family doctor practicing medicine for 43 years with 4 doctor partners, and I had experience here with several of my patients living here including my wonderful retired nurse. I want to finish this statement with saying I continue to be overwhelmed by the high quality of care here and the obvious focus on our wellbeing by the entire staff. They are managing the many challenges of Covid extremely well." - James… Read more

"Mom loves it here! It was important to her to stay in her neighborhood, but to make sure we were making the best choice, we toured several. We were ultimately won over by the food here. It is the best around. They tell you what ship the seafood came in on - which she really enjoys! We also loved the garden program. Several areas have been renovated. Andrea toured us and has been a gem over the past year. Very happy with our choice to have mom here." - Irene… Read more

"Please do not turn to Brookdale Foundation House for help with your loved ones. They are in the business of making money. Period. When we first inquired here, they seemed so nice and accommodating, that is UNTIL they found out we were on a budget and asked about Medicaid programs. Where at first they were willing to negotiate on rent, second-person fees, community fee, etc., the minute they found out we were not wealthy, they changed completely. The answer to every question we asked was "no," "no," "no," and they weren't so nice about it. They wanted to charge my parents nearly $7000/month in rent for a barely 600 square-foot one-bedroom apartment, a $4500 (non-refundable) community fee, and nearly $6000/month in care costs for just ONE of my parents.If you have done any research on assisted living, you will know that this exploitative and outrageous! I believe they did this to us because they knew we were in a time-crunch to find help and only wanted our money." - Cynthia… Read more
