MBK Senior Living

This is a great place! Even if you are in independent living, the staff pop in and check on all the residents and they are very accomodating as well. For example, bringing food up to your room if you're not feeling well. They really look out for the residents and take care of them. We really liked that the atmosphere is homey and personable. It's a smaller place and more intimate. Also, the ammeneties expand through the whole building, rather than just the common areas. This place is always full, which is a good sign!

The faculty was wonderful everyone who works there is just great, the director Cindy, the nurse Jordan (they are very lucky to have her). The C.N.A's were great too, they were very caring and knowledgeable. The other residents were mostly alzheimers and memory care which wasn't a good match for us. She had to share a bathroom which was difficult, and everything has to be locked up even the toothbrush. If you have a person who needs a lot of care, they are very good.

They've been doing a great job here, from the sound of it. When I toured this community I liked it very much, and it really was the nicest place I saw and the only one I'd want my loved one living in. The staff were friendly, it was clean, and the food was great. Whenever I speak with my loved one on the phone she sounds happy, and always has plenty to say about the various activities and social events.

We're very pleased with this community! I really have no suggestions for improvement. Sometimes, it takes them 10-15 minutes to respond when she rings the buzzer, but there are a lot of residents there. I haven't tried the food, but I hear that it's pretty good. My loved one has always complimented how nice the staff is. Also, they have much larger rooms for a better price than other places, so there was a good value as well. Very pleased!

They have just really amazed us so far! This is a newer facility, and everything is very good quality. They offer higher levels of care, which reassures us that we made the right choice! They actually ended up being less expensive than what we were doing before, so the value is great! The flat rate is nice as well - they don't charge for every little thing! The activities are really creative and the staff are all very involved with the residents. I would recommend!

I give them a Six! It's very, very clean. We like the facility and we like the care our loved one is getting. They have an activites director who is marvelous, he has such a good personality to encourage participation. The dining room is beautiful and the food is wonderful. They are very caring and call the residents by name.

It's beautiful and you don't feel like you are in a hospital or old folks home. The other places had a smell, this does not. It's gorgeous, you walk in with an open free feeling, not closed dark hallways. Their level of care goes all the way through hospice. They have their memory care area that is secured. The rooms are beautiful, it's like they are at home and not like a hospital.

Very cozy and home-like atmosphere. When I first walked in I noticed that many residents were out and about socializing, eating (their dining room is open from 7am - 7pm) and enjoying each other's company. The staff was also talking with, and interacting with, the residents. There was much laughter and it was overall a very comfortable feel. The activities and events offered cover a wide range of options. My parents were very impressed when they saw that there were many things they are interested in doing. After looking at many options, I felt that the price and value at Mountlake Terrace Plaza was better than may communities that are close by. It's an older building but well maintained. It smells good, it's kept clean, and the residents and staff are happy. My parents now live there.

The overall quality of the facility is impeccable, they are right there if we need them, and they go out of their way to make sure everything is ok. She says the food could be better. She feels very safe there. They have an activities director on premises, and goes out of her way to engage everyone there. They have three levels of care with independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The whole facility is really quite beautiful, and luxurious. You might think you are walking into a four or five star hotel.

They do a great job here! It's a nice looking place, and they keep it very clean. The staff are friendly, and the entire facility just feels very welcoming and family friendly. They also have an impressive variety of activities here. My only complaint is that it is one of the more expensive options that we looked into.

I am very happy with the Adobe house. I am so glad I picked this place for my Mom. She is very happy in her new community. I think this is what she really needed all along as she was living by herself. She now has a roommate to talk with as well as all the other members of her community.

I thought Oakdale was wonderful. It would have been my second choice. The only thing I didn't like was that it was far away but I was very impressed with the sales person and with everything there.

The care is good and the activities are good too. We haven't been there that long but it's working out so far. We chose them for the price - it's a good deal.

WOW, I have never seen anything like this for retirement age people!! This is not a dorm, it's like a Resort even down to Room Service and Sunday Champagne brunch that's better than the Biltmore! After seeing this, I am ready to retire and start enjoy Country Club living where everyone knows me by first name!!

I would highly recommend them. The staff is very lovely. The activities that they have are quite interesting. A lot of these places do bus trips and they do that too but they also invite a lot of people in like musicians and various types of entertainment. My husband enjoyed that. There were a lot of lectures where people will come and discuss history and things along those lines. My husband enjoyed all the guests that they had. I really thought the staff was very nice. They knew the people and knew what they were doing.

I like this place and it would cost less than COaks plus 24-7 care givers. Clean, new, rich without being 'grand'. I saw the Renaisance (memory care) building.Garden courtyard, therapeutic animals, semi private means 2 rooms that share a roomy bathroom between them, with a roomy shower.Paige,the Recreational Therapist with a 4 yr degree in the field; did not meet Paige. 24 apartments, 2 of them coming available. I liked one #110, with courtyard on one side and tree, vacant lot, on other. The other, #120, is in a 'busy location' still with a tree out the window. Staff interaction for night wandering. Apt doors open, staff encourage resident to be involved. Maryanna, director/coordinator. I was not there for a meal. Dining room and menu appealing. Hydration program, fruit and treats. Current costs: $5225 Private, $4699 semi private + Level 1 $375, Level 2 $750, up to Level 4, 'almost hospice'

They're doing a wonderful job. I think they offered the best value for our money of any of the places we saw. They're not a nursing facility so you pay rent like you would in an apartment. The cost varies. It would be more expensive for a single room but if you share a room it would be less expensive. They had a hard time finding a compatible roommate for my mom. These are all Alzheimer's people so finding the right roommate is crucial. We did end up find a good roommate for her. On top of rent you have to pay for the assistance that you get. They have a scale of care needs. This was the best value for our money because mom is also an insulin dependent diabetic so our choice of facilities went way down. For the same quality of place that could car for her, there was only other option that was more expensive and didn't have any vacancies. The care is great. Every time I go she's dressed, clean, and fed. The people are nice. This is a good place! They give their employees incentives to get the people up and dressed and cleaned early so they have a full day. There's some kind of activity all the time. I never thought my mom would participate but I constantly find her in the activity room talking to other people and doing things. It's prefect for her. There is an outdoor patio setting with lost of flowers. There is lots there that is stimulating for the residents

They've been very good. It's probably one of the nicest and that's probably why it's so expensive. My mom needs somebody to come in and do her medication but my dad doesn't. We were getting his medications packaged from the pharmacy so he could do them himself but they said unless he can know exactly what every prescription is for they wouldn't let him do it himself so then it costs so much more for them to do the med for him when he couldn't really do them himself. He was doing it by himself and everything was fine. It's needless cost to me. That's the only draw back. My parents don't participate in the activities. They have a million but my parents are professional TV watchers and that's what they enjoy doing. They can participate if they want but they don't want to. Dale Commons is right by the freeway so it's easy for my to go pick them up and visit more often. It looks more like a hotel

Since moving my parents into the Commons, the staff has gone above and beyond my expectations in the care they receive, the activities provided, the extra security, and the overall atmosphere. Each and every staff person has treated my parents with dignity and respect during what turned out to be a very difficult transition for both of them. If I had to choose again, I would definitely choose the Commons. My parents both needed extra care later after living there for a while. The cost is definitely worth the extra care they have provided. The security knowing my parents are being well cared for is priceless.

Very friendly staff, clean, great dining room, koi pond, pool, chapel. Wonderful selection of onsite and offsite activities. Spacious apt units & many great areas to congregate/socialize. Lovely campus. Reasonable $$
