I have been very happy with the relocation of my parents to Legacy of Bothell.
Previously, my parents were at a local facility out of state where they made good attempts but just didn't 'GET' how to respectfully support people with dementia and other health issues.
Situations forced relocation in August of 2017 and I was VERY happy to have my parents placed at Legacy; where they understand dementia and issues with compassion. Reviewing their medications upon intake, they found drug reactions and prescriptions that were beyond efficacy. For my parents, simplification of their medications, adding exercise and engaging them with kindness and respect has made a world of difference. After being at Legacy a few months family, friends and former caregivers repeatedly mentioned their improved appearance, engagement, and alertness.
My mother passed away at Legacy, and the care and comfort Legacy provided was fantastic. Mom felt like she was surrounded by people who cared, even when family could not be there in person. My father was also greatly supported through the transition.
Now a solo resident, Legacy treats my father with respect, humor, and roll with how/when/where his dementia journey takes him. Sometimes they walk with him, entertain his projects, or talk about the newspaper or photos he's looking at. I am VERY thankful for the little things Legacy does to care for my father - like fix his hair, notice if he doesn't have a pencil in his pocket or a jacket, etc.
When I visit, I feel welcome and included. I feel informed if something comes up, and involved even when I'm out of town.
Legacy gives my father excellent care, and me peace of mind knowing he's at a safe & supportive place. read more
