Ten months ago, my mother had a severe and unexpected stroke. After a hemi-craniectomy, three weeks…read morein the hospital, six months of skilled nursing and rehab, and about two dozen CT scans, it was clear Mom would not be able to return home safely. After quite a bit of research, what I learned is that there are only a few assisted living communities that can care for someone who is paralyzed on one side of her body, and requires two caregivers to assist with transferring her from bed to chair and back again, and to bathe and clean her. And even fewer that can do all of this while keeping my Mom busy with a full regimen of PT, OT, and speech therapy, along with other stimulating activities. While Aegis on Madison has suffered the same staffing shortages and other challenges brought on by the pandemic, this community has a culture of transparency and continuous quality improvement. The leadership team welcomes family members and friends to visit (for the day or overnight), engage in community activities, enjoy the view from the beautiful Sky Lounge/deck, and--most importantly--provide feedback to help improve its services. I commend Bryan, Elizabeth, Curtis, Craig, Mayor Judy, Brylle and the remarkable team of caregivers (Joyce, Ryan, Jessica, William, Arthur, Dorcas, Mimi and so many others) for making Aegis on Madison such a place my Mom and Step-Dad can feel at home.

She loved the apartment and the meal plan options, as well as the ability to meet others with so many planned activities. She also has a dog and is happy to be able to have her move with her. Billy and Andrea did a great job with a tour of the facility and carefully going over the contract agreements. Andrea was great relating directly with my mother to ensure she understood everything. Billy took extreme care to ensure my mother's needs were met and covered in every way. The welcoming was wonderful!

Review of Cogir Queen Anne Assisted Living Community…read more Greetings! I almost never write reviews but I had to for Queen Anne Cogir. I can't say enough good things about this place. My Mom was in the assisted living building and I was constantly amazed at the level of care she received. Everyone was extra helpful and went out of their way to make sure she felt special. The "care team" members including house keeping established friendships with her and treated her as if she were their own mother. I can't remember all their names but I do remember Natasha and her sister (who was Natasha's supervisor) and Amena. Marnie Walker the Sales Manager was the one who helped us make the decision to choose Cogir Queen Anne and we never had cause to regret it. I'm not sure how the management has been able to assemble such a caring and positive staff. Everyone we dealt with (and I mean literally everyone from the front desk to the kitchen workers) was upbeat, happy and seemed to genuinely like their job. I compliment Ken Klotz Executive Director for cultivating such an inviting climate. Maria Crespo the Business Office Manager was always ready with a cheerful and caring attitude to help with not just financial issues but with anything else needed. Ernie Vigil the Health and Wellness Director manages always to make time for an informal chat and was a real blessing in answering any questions we might have and taking a personal interest in Mom's well being. Mom loved the food and the warm, cheerful atmosphere in the lobby. You can see why I give Cogir Queen Anne five stars and "two thumbs up" Mike Carrigan

Because most of the public spaces were dramatically decorated and were small, and the exterior seemed less glamorous than many other facilities, we were not expecting to think of it highly. We were wrong. We found it to be an intimate and very cheerful option with lots of options for public living for people like us who don't need lavish. They had the services we might need. The food options were nice. we also really liked the size and feel of the apartments. It was also comforting to know there was a memory care floor so if that should become necessary, one could stay in the same facility. We also loved that our pet would be welcome and could even get walks through them should that be necessary. It also seemed like there would be less red tape about moving in. It moved high up on our list of potential options.

My mother never consistently got the care we were promised (e.g., got one shower per month vs. 3 per week in the plan, almost never wearing her compression socks vs. paying to have these on each day). As well, as someone with dementia, she mostly sat alone in her room. During the sales process we were told how skilled the staff were engaging with dementia residents. We didn't see that after moving in, so would complain, we'd see temporary improvement, but always short lived. Staff turnover is high.

She loves all the staff - from management, the medical director, front desk, dining room, concierge, facilities, & cleaning staff - they are all kind, friendly, fun & supportive - not only to her but to me also. It feels like home to me too. The staff immediately took the time to learn my mums (and my) name and get to know her so she felt welcomed, seen and supported. They go out of their way to accommodate her needs, they are immediately responsive. She has challenges that they have recently found an amazing work around for, which will give her extra support & more purpose in her day. Amazing! She's lived in 2 different apartments in the building & both feel new, clean, fresh, bright. Very comfortable. The location is fantastic - walk a block or so right into the heart of Ballard, grocery store across the street, banks & pharmacy a block away. It's perfect. As soon as I met Ian (community relations director) an Lisa (general manager) when we toured the facility, I knew we had found her next home. They are absolutely wonderful people! Zero pretense - just down to earth, fun & really good at what they do. Transitioning her into the facility was easy (mostly for me) with thanks to how simple the staff made it - a big move after living in your home 30 yrs! Thank you Merrill Gardens at Ballard - you are making this challenging time in my mothers (and my) life so much easier. I also will say that I have spoken to several other Merrill Gardens management & community relations staff at their other locations & have found every one of them to be incredibly helpful, also going out of their way to assist. We are truly appreciative - I have absolutely ZERO hesitations when recommending Merrill Gardens at Ballard.
