    If I could give this assisted living facility negative stars, I would…read more The manager, a tall dark haired man, was overly friendly in that fake sort of way. He tries way too hard to come off as charming and caring but I can tell he's not. I didn't speak to him directly but I am a great judge of character and I can tell by the way he speaks to others that he's not genuine. The caretaker/nurse who was speaking to my friend was visibly tired. She seemed burned out and like she needed a break. The morale seems to be low amongst these caretakers. She was pleasant but seemed to be frustrated and exhausted. I did overhear some of the other caretakers/nurses gossiping loudly and playing on their phones at the tables in the kitchen. It didn't feel professional. The music was country and way too loud. I don't imagine these patients want to listen to modern day country music. The Latina gal who runs the Alzheimer's unit is abrasive, rude, loud, and snotty. I can tell the employees don't respect her. I overheard them discussing how much they dislike her and I don't blame them. The way she was speaking to them was unprofessional and classless. I would not ever want to work for someone who belittles their employees, and in front of patient's family and friends. Every time I've been at this facility, which is 3 times now, I could hear her yelling at employees and reprimanding them in the most unprofessional manner. Why is she employed in this field? She belongs working as a jail guard or something. I was visiting a dear friend and if I had any say in it, I'd do what I could to find her a new facility. This one is dirty, it doesn't feel like a happy place to be, and most of the patients were visibly depressed. I understand that Alzheimer's can cause that, but I do believe more could be done to make these people happy. The overwhelming smell of urine was making it hard to breathe without gagging. I understand that this can be somewhat normal, but this was overpowering and I left nauseated. Bottom line: do not place your loved one here. They deserve better. I would not be surprised if this place closes eventually. Upon doing some research, it appears they've been cited and fined many times by the state.

    This review is for the unskilled nursing + rehab facility:…read more If hell exists, it is here. The staff are extremely lazy and rude - they either ignore you, snap at you, or simply walk away when you approach them with a simple question. The patients are neglected (see various inspections and reports at https://fortress.wa.gov/dshs/adsaapps/lookup/BHPubLookup.aspx) and the facility is unkempt and dirty. If you love someone, do not place them here under any circumstances.

    Four days ago, I wrote a review under my name, Pat G. I would like to amend that review after…read morebeing called by Jennifer, the managing director of HomePlace at Oak Harbor. She saw my first Yelp review and seemed sincerely concerned that I was upset as well as that it would reflect on her whole facility and the work she had been doing since she arrived in January. She sincerely defended the care they had given my husband. The nurse in residence had done her best I think. Jennifer also offered to call Frontier herself to do all she could do to correct the financial issue involved. A Place for Mom also responded on Friday and offered real help. So, my original review now seems less than fair and I apologize for that. I'm sorry it took the review to receive this support but it obviously made a difference. In my original review I think I gave credit to HomePlace for the satisfied residents they do have, which I hope showed fairness all along. I'm truly glad that Jennifer is trying to make things better.
