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.

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. The staff made an effort to listen to our needs and sought our feedback on the visit. Great views and tasty food. Well worth looking into, especially as the entire building will be transformed with a major rebuild.

Aegis Ravenna is the most magical memory care facility on the planet!…read moreThe staff and caregivers are exceptional and truly the most loving and selfless people I've ever met. The activities, food and care/ nursing staff are top notch! They made the transition from moving my dad in Bellevue to Aegis of Ravenna so comfortable. I honestly consider the staff as well as many if the residents to be part of my family. I've shared many tears of joy as well as tears of sadness that come along with Alzheimer's. Regardless of the circumstances someone is ALWAYS there for help and support. As we all know one can't put a price on love,understanding and compassion. The facilities are also beautiful and so well thought out. Nothing was missed when it comes to attention of detail. Most importantly I know my dad is in the best care possible and will live out his remaining days surrounded by love, true love. If you are looking for an environment as I've described above feel free to message me through this App, you needn't look any further. I'm there several days a week and would even be happy to meet you there! Lastly, I don't work for Aegis but am just so truly appreciative. One more thing,lol. I looked at numerous facilities before I found this gem!

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.

First were phone calls of her being hungry and that when asked for a grilled cheese they only gave her 2 pieces of bread and cheese. Not grilled. Then more happened when her blood pressure spiked to 200. What shocked me was that they asked what to do. DUH TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL. like come on. You should be calling us telling us your taking her in not asking what to do. Then when we saw her from the hospital she look homeless. Hair greasy and smelly. She smelt. And cloths ratty. Like come on. It's your job to inform us of her level needs to be upped. Nope to call to let us know she needs more help. When my father went to go see her they wouldn't let him see her. WTF. MIND YOU HE WAS ON THE LIST AND HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE HER MANY TIMES BEFORE. then when we was able to go into her place cuz we moved her out. He noticed that she had half used feminine pads in the bathroom. Like does anyone check to see if she is clean. These people see her way more then we could and didn't noticed she was looking and smelling bad. And then to call us and. Inform us she needs more care. Nope. They took her money with problem. Now they want us to pay 4,100$ for a month she wasn't there. Not only that. They reported me as a financial predator cuz I put her in a new home that takes waaay better care of her now. Don't I repeat don't leave your loved ones in this place. Even the management can't even take any criticism on what needs to be done. Horrible place.

My Grandma was living independently in Seattle with my Mother visiting her 2-3 times a week to check in. This worked for a couple of years until this last December, when Grandma was admitted to the hospital with low sodium, a failing diuretic drug (huge problem when you have heart issues), and her dementia was noticeable worse. It was immediately apparent she could no longer live alone. We contacted Angela and she immediately dove in, and within 2 days she escorted me to visit Assisted Living Facilities that met all of our requirements. We decided a smaller facility would be better, so she took me out again to visit Adult Family Homes (AFH). I preferred a whirlwind tour of several places in the same day (which she accommodated), and with Angela's help I quickly picked up the language of Assisted Care and she made sure to ask all the applicable questions (ones I would never think of). Due to Angela's help, I was well informed to make a decision on the best place for my Grandma. We chose a very good AFH in Bellevue, close to my Parents, and Grandma was well taken care of. Ultimately, my Mother decided to take care of Grandma herself, and we later moved her into my Parent's house. But finding an AFH in the interim allowed us the time to make the transition. Angela did all of this free of charge, was incredibly professional, and very personable. I highly recommend her to anyone in a similar situation. Kellie Consultant at Microsoft
