  My mother moved to Brookdale about 8 years ago, and I have been very pleased with the care that she has received there and the overall improvement in her quality of life. The facility is very clean and organized, and you can tell was designed with safety and accessibility issues taken into consideration. There is also a theater (jealous), gym, library, and a beautiful rooftop patio that has a remarkable view of downtown Seattle. It also has a lot of natural light which is nice since they are, after all, in Seattle. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and show a genuine interest in how my mother is doing. Just last month my sister and I came to take her out to dinner for her birthday, and the staff had a birthday card and cupcake waiting for her, which was very thoughtful. As for the quality of life improvement I mentioned, there are plenty of activities and opportunities to socialize. My mom's experience includes: Playing card games, trivia night, coordinated outings in the community, just to name a few. They also have a great dining area with huge vaulted ceilings and pretty tasty food options (I ate there once and thought it was great!). I would recommend anyone looking for assisted or independent living for their loved one in the Seattle area to visit Brookdale and see for yourself!

  My mom has lived at Brookdale West Seattle for about seven or eight years now, and she's been very happy there. She has a small group of friends, enjoys having people to eat meals with, and has built a community for herself. Everyone at Brookdale is genuinely friendly. I visit for family meals at least once a month (often more), and the staff always knows the residents by name, checks in on them, and warmly greets family and guests. There are also plenty of activities. My mom plays pinochle every week and has participated in bridge and a book club, both of which the staff helped facilitate. They also offer movies, trivia nights, shopping trips, outings to the opera, and, around the holidays, special events like brunches or live musical performances during meals. The apartments come in a variety of layouts. Some face the back and are a little darker, while others face 35th Avenue and are brighter, with some offering views. The building sits on a hill, which can make getting in and out of the car a little tricky, but there's also a more level pull-up area in the back that works well. One thing I've appreciated is that the level of care can change as residents' needs change. After my mom had a fall, she spent time in rehab elsewhere and then returned to Brookdale with assisted living. Once she had recovered, she was able to move back off assisted living. They also offer services like laundry for an additional fee if needed (weekly cleaning is included!). Overall, my mom really likes it here, and it's reassuring to know she's surrounded by caring people who take good care of her.
