A sign with our names greeted us in the lobby, a staffperson helped us unload and wheel our belongings up to the unit. The requested microwave was brought promptly.

Well worth looking into, especially as the entire building will be transformed with a major rebuild.

It's very difficult to make a change when one is in their 80s, but the staff and residents at Ida Culver Ravenna went above and beyond. Everything is five star in our book. At Ida Culver you will be surprised to find a warm, welcoming place behind the serious facade on NE 65th. The majority of the facility is older with big picture windows facing either a meditation garden or a beautiful, large sunny garden. This won't fill your needs if you're looking for brand new, McMansion type living. But if you are looking for wonderful spaces, bright and cheerful views, top notch staff with absolutely great communication, you have found the right place for your loved one(s). Soon after our Mom moved into Ida Culver, her health started to decline. The staff of Ida Culver was right on top of it, communicating to us what we didn't always see on our regular visits. Not only was the staff great, the other residents looked after Mom, and communicated to the staff when there was a problem. They were with us in dealing with hospitalization, were with us in dealing with the hospital regarding her care, and were with us for the short term of skilled nursing in order to gain strength. Our Mom will be transitioning to full assisted living, and the nursing staff has been wonderful concerning planning, communicating, and meeting with us. Bravo Ida Culver. It's wonderful to find a place that truly cares about their residents and 100% advocates for the best care possible. They have made this difficult journey that much easier.

My mother lived at The Empress Memory Care from September 2023 until her passing in May 2024…read more Within the first two weeks, her jewelry began disappearing, including a ruby ring she had worn daily for over ten years and never removed. Management offered no help or accountability, even suggesting she might have misplaced or traded items, which was not true. Over the next several months, more of her belongings went missing. 2 coats, sweaters and inexpensive earrings. During a later meeting with other residents' families, one man shared that his wife was terrified because staff were going through her things while she slept. This confirmed our fears. We paid roughly $20,000 to get her in this facility. We hoped it would be safe, compassionate care, but instead endured a deeply traumatic experience. I would never recommend this facility to anyone seeking trustworthy memory care for their loved one.

Empress Senior Living is a beautiful, boutique-style community in Laurelhurst that feels more like…read morean upscale hotel than a traditional senior living community--while still being very reasonably priced. The location is outstanding, with a Metropolitan Market across the street and some of Seattle's best parks and walking trails nearby. The food is excellent as well--especially the breakfast burritos. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, and there is always something engaging happening for residents. I've been especially impressed with the Health and Wellness Director, Heather. She has a strong pulse on the building and a deep understanding of each resident's individual needs. I've seen firsthand the care and intention Heather and her team put into ensuring that care is personalized, thoughtful, and well-coordinated. She does an exceptional job guiding her care team and working closely with outside partners to make sure residents who need specialized support receive it. Just as importantly, she communicates clearly and compassionately with families. Empress is a special community, and it truly shows in the quality of care and attention given every day.

I would definitely recommend this home to anyone who has the need of a caring, clean home for a loved one!

I felt completely safe the whole time I was with Deanna and am so happy to have found her in NE Seattle! She listens to your needs and takes notes so she can refer to them later. She is a great conversationalist and asks lots of questions so you get the feeling she cares about the whole patient, not only the injuries!

Deanna has an excellent understanding of the body and explains everything she does so I understand it perfectly. I went to her for my neck, since I was waking up with severe pain and stiffness about once a month. Since I started about six weeks ago, my mobility has increased, my stiffness has decreased and my pain is almost nonexistent! We moved on to some chronic knee pain, and I'm happy to say that has improved as well. Deanna looked looked closely at the causes of my pain and helped me make changes to my posture, sitting, etc. that I think will contribute to my long-term health. She's also very friendly and warm -- and celebratory about my progress. I'll be happy to return to her anytime I'm in need of physical therapy.

I worked providing music therapy to memory care patients at Emerald City Senior Living--or one of…read morethe previous owners--for almost ten years. I was very conscientious at my job there: I was always on time and provided a substitute if I was unable to be there. I conducted a music class that was stimulating and friendly and enjoyed by residents and often their family members and even staff. I got along well with staff members and gave books as presents to one or two of them. I did not raise my rates, which were lower than I charge other assisted living centers, over the many years of my employment. Despite the high quality and integrity of my work, I was not paid for 3 months at the beginning of this year. After making many efforts to contact management at Emerald City Senior Living in various ways, I was forced to file an Inquiry into the Seattle Labor Standards Department. This resulted in my receiving my back pay, still with no acknowledgement or apology from management. Soon after in May 2024, I was terminated, or, simply not called to work again at Emerald City Senior Living. This happened with the same passive aggressive manner from the Senior Living Center which I experienced when I tried to collect my back wages. The conduct of management at Emerald City Senior Living is completely unethical.

He replies to messages within minutes, making communication effortless. When it came time to list our property, we simply sent an email, and within a few days the lease was signed with a qualified tenant. It was truly a hands-free experience. David is very knowledgeable about the local rental market, pricing properties competitively. He conducts thorough background checks to ensure reliable, responsible tenants are placed. When maintenance issues arise, he addresses them promptly and professionally, never leaving anything unresolved. He's also built a trusted team of maintenance specialists and contractors who are experts in their respective fields. We recommend him highly.

David has been our property manager for over 4 years, and he's been professional, efficient, and…read moreresponsive. To be transparent, we are property owners, so this review is from the owner's point of view. Having said that, he's been proactive in making sure the rental house is in a good shape, including regular annual maintenance. This is to ensure tenants get what they pay for. One thing David really stands out is his responsiveness and timely communications. Tips: believe it or not, best way to contact him is via email. He'll call me as soon as he's available whenever I ask him to call me via email. His email responses are mostly cryptic and straight to the point, and some folks may take that differently. But for us, we like his cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense style. Believe us, we have had a different property manager before, and he may seem courteous, but his responsiveness and professionalism are not even close to David's.
