About Empress Senior Living

Empress Senior Living is located in the Laurelhurst neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The community describes its approach as hospitality-based, suggesting an emphasis on personalized service and attentive daily support for residents. This range of care allows families to consider options for a loved one who is largely independent but may want the convenience of support services, as well as for those who need more help with daily activities or who are living with dementia or memory loss. Having multiple levels of care in one community may also make it easier for couples with different needs, or for a resident whose care needs change over time. Families interested in Empress Senior Living are encouraged to schedule a tour to learn more about daily life in the community, including specifics on dining, activities, and accommodations. Confirming details such as pet policies, visiting hours, and available apartment styles directly with the community can help in making a well-informed decision for a parent or partner considering senior living in the Seattle area.

My mother lived at The Empress Memory Care from September 2023 until her passing in May 2024. Within the first two weeks, her jewelry began disappearing, including a ruby ring she had worn daily for over ten years and never removed. Management offered no help or accountability, even suggesting she might have misplaced or traded items, which was not true. Over the next several months, more of her belongings went missing. 2 coats, sweaters and inexpensive earrings. During a later meeting with other residents’ families, one man shared that his wife was terrified because staff were going through her things while she slept. This confirmed our fears. We paid roughly $20,000 to get her in this facility. We hoped it would be safe, compassionate care, but instead endured a deeply traumatic experience. I would never recommend this facility to anyone seeking trustworthy memory care for their loved one. Believe the bad reviews!

Empress Senior Living is a beautiful, boutique-style community in Laurelhurst that feels more like an upscale hotel than a traditional senior living community—while still being very reasonably priced. The location is outstanding, with a Metropolitan Market across the street and some of Seattle’s best parks and walking trails nearby. The food is excellent as well—especially the breakfast burritos. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, and there is always something engaging happening for residents. I’ve been especially impressed with the Health and Wellness Director, Heather. She has a strong pulse on the building and a deep understanding of each resident’s individual needs. I’ve seen firsthand the care and intention Heather and her team put into ensuring that care is personalized, thoughtful, and well-coordinated. She does an exceptional job guiding her care team and working closely with outside partners to make sure residents who need specialized support receive it. Just as importantly, she communicates clearly and compassionately with families. Empress is a special community, and it truly shows in the quality of care and attention given every day.

I couldn't ask for a better community for my loved one! Empress Senior Living is more than just a senior living facility - it's a family. The staff are warm, caring, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. The activities and events are engaging and fun, and my loved one is always looking forward to the next outing or gathering. It's clear that the team at Empress Senior Living genuinely cares about the residents' well-being and happiness. I highly recommend Empress Senior Living to anyone looking for a supportive and loving community for their family member. 5 stars isn't enough!

I am sorry that Monica and Jennifer didn't have a good experience at Empress. We have had 2 family members at Empress and, despite challenges that impact all senior living facilities, I can say unequivocally that the patience, attentiveness, and caring of staff members and care providers is first rate. They have also been responsive to concerns of families of Empress residents and have afforded a level of comfort to my family in knowing that our loved ones will get good care--even when we can't be present.

Empress Senior Living is a truly special community that encourages residents to branch out and live a fulfilling lifestyle. After experiencing a fall and realizing it was time for assisted living, I explored several options but knew Empress was the perfect fit from the moment I walked in. The community is small, well-designed, and easy to navigate, making it feel like home rather than overwhelming. The amenities are fantastic: a lending library, a cozy movie theater, excellent transportation services, and more. But what truly sets Empress apart is the staff. They are kind, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to personalize care for each resident. Beyond the fantastic support, the activities here are so much fun! I've been playing mini golf and bingo with my fellow residents, and it has been an absolute blast. There is always something to do, and everyone is included. If you want a warm, welcoming, and engaging senior living community, I highly recommend Empress!
