Harbour Pointe Senior Living - Mukilteo, WA

This may be a great setting for either or both of my parents. I like that there is not clear delineation between independent & assisted living. It protects residents' privacy and allows couples to stay together in the same apartment. Even if one needs to eventually move to memory care, they can still spend much of their waking hours with their spouse residing on an upper floor. I particularly liked the restaurant-style dining room. When entering the building - seeing lobby and then dining area - it struck me as very much like a cruise ship. As my Dad loves cruises, this is definitely an appealing factor. I very much appreciated the Director of Sales & Marketing's extensive background experience on the memory care side of things. Was a great tour and may be a good place for my parents. Not ready to make decisions of this kind but now actively engaged in discussing with my parents. My parents would be moving from a large home so transition to apartment would be a dramatic change. My Mother is a super active person and an avid volunteer. Not sure it's right for her at this stage but in terms of finding a place well suited to meet both of my parents' needs, this is likely the closest fit.

I had a great tour at Harbour Pointe as a preview for my mother. The staff was very informative and pleasant. the dining room is spectacular and the meal options look top notch. The suites are spacious and bright. For my situation, this location is a bit farther than I'd like from my home in Bothell.

The reason why we chose this location is because they had independent living. My parents have their own little apartment but are frequently checked on by their excellent staff to make sure that they are ok. Their staff team calls me almost every day just to let me know how things are going: if they need medication or things like that. They are very spot on. They get them promptly for their meals and escort them to the dining area. They love the food and I join almost every other day to eat there as well. They have several options for meals and it is excellent. They sure do have plenty of activities provided as well like musicians that comes in to play piano and they go on outings. They drive around to see the Christmas lights, they take them grocery shopping, and to Costco. They just have a variety of things. I definitely recommend this location to others because the staff is so personable. They all know my relative’s name, they provide a necklace for them to push just in case something happens and someone is there within a minute, and they just take really good care of everyone. It is really nice to have them in a happy free place but, at the same time, being watched over by the staff team.
