If I could give this place zero stars I would. Upon my uncles death my father and I took the over…read moreseeing care of my 105 yr old grand mother. 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.

Mom lived at Merrill Gardens for two and a half years. It is a clean, pleasant facility and the…read morefood is excellent. They have plenty of activities from outings for fun, medical appointments and shopping, to happy hour with music, theme dinners. During her stay there, we did have some frustrating miscommunications with the two prior administrations, but the current administrators is great. When we had to move Mom to an adult care facility, only 5 days notice was required, and the staff were very helpful. My *** rating was because I was quite frustrated with the level of communication with the care staff, the financial communication and their accounting. But bottom line, Mom was happy there.

However, once the final contract paperwork was being done, we were advised that the financial agreement presented at the time of the tour could not be honored. Be aware that Pauline the manager is not the owner, which is shown on site and brochures. It is owned by a corporation and any deals must have approval through their board. What sounds all nice and neat at the time of presentation and tour is not honored. This place put us in a quick scramble to start from scratch to find a home for our sister. Not a good experience during a very difficult and stressful time.

Very loving and caring. They treat my sister as if she was their own family. They take such excellent care. I wouldn't want her any place else. The house is beautiful, clean and always smells fresh. The bedrooms are nicely decorated. The sheets are colorful and pretty. Everything is quality. The fireplace in the living room is cozy. The whole house is very homey. The meals are very good and they pay attention to what the residents like. I could go on and on. This home is outstanding! I've asked to be put on the waiting list for when my time comes. :)

The staff were incredibly caring and competent and the other residents were amazing with her. Every time I visited she was engaged in an activity (e.g., chair exercises, puzzles, craft projects) or spending time with the other residents at a meal. Almost every time I visited, Traci was there at some point. She is someone that truly cares about her team and the residents. I also appreciated her communication with me... she kept me advised about my mother's condition and provided great and candid advice. As well, the house/yard was very nice and clean.

Since my last review on For Senior's Sake, I filed a complaint with the Washington State Department…read moreof Social and Health Services. I was concerned that Laura Cirves had violated my mother's rights. It appears that a similar situation occurred with another resident of For Senior's Sake. I would encourage that person to call and register a complaint at 1-800-562-6078. This is the only way to call a halt to Laura's bullying tactics with her clients and the families of clients. After an investigation by the Aging and Disability Services, Laura was issued 4 citations. 1. Failed practice in the area of care planning. 2. Failure to provide proper notification of changes to services. 3. Failure to provide proper notification to change in fees. 4. Discharging a client without proper cause. Laura was also required to refund a larger amount than she had initially sent to us from the month's rent that we had paid in advance. Unless people follow through in reporting issues like this one with For Senior's Sake, our seniors will continue to get taken advantage of like Laura Cirves tried to do with our mother.

During my father's time at For Seniors' Sake before his passing, he was surrounded by loving care, smiles, infinite patience, and kindness. Our family dropped in frequently, and we always happened upon a conscientious, caring, and committed staff. Laura sets a cheerful tone for her house, with superbly clean, pleasant surroundings (fresh flowers, home-y decorations, etc.) . She even makes the meals herself, none of that industrial food. She's extremely conscientious about the complex state regulations, and keeps patient logs that we could track online. Laura patiently spoke with us at all hours in a compassionate, respectful manner--it felt as if we were collaborators in providing dad with the best care possible. In his final days, only Laura could bring a smile to his face, and that says everything. On a practical note, Laura was prompt and responsive when issuing a substantial refund check. The care dad received at For Seniors' Sake brought comfort to our family, knowing he was in such good hands. We feel fortunate to have had such a good experience during such a difficult time.
