    Spotless attentive care; worth it

    I placed my dad here and couldn't be happier - the small, beautifully maintained facility is spotless, safe, and attentive with individual rooms, a big deck, live music, puzzles/games, and top-notch caregivers and owner. It's pricier than others, but worth it for the excellent care and peace of mind.

    About Better Living Retreat

    Better Living Retreat sits in Edmonds, Washington, and offers assisted living care in a small, home-like setting with just six licensed beds, so residents get plenty of attention, and the adult family home is licensed under Washington license #650501, which means it meets state rules for care and safety, and the place lets seniors bring their pets, whether dogs or cats, so furry friends are welcome, while also keeping all indoor spaces smoke-free. Residents have private bedrooms with ADA-compliant private baths, and both smart apartment layouts and well-equipped studio units give choices for comfort and use, and the building has a sprinkler system along with safety and handicap features for extra peace of mind. There's always an on-site registered nurse, and the caring staff offers 24-hour care, including services like medication management, diabetic care, continence help, memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, hospice care, rehabilitation, and custom care plans so every person gets what they need.

    Better Living Retreat provides housekeeping and laundry, including laundry and dry cleaning help, so residents don't have to worry about chores, and the personal care assistants help with dressing, walking, and daily needs, making it easier for anyone who uses a wheelchair. The dining room and large dining hall give space to eat together, where fresh meals, snacks between meals, a pureed menu, and even special dining events are all part of life, plus a special concierge helps with extra services if needed. The place offers transportation, including guest parking and complimentary rides for appointments or outings, and manages daily social activities, arts and crafts, parties for special occasions, life enrichment programs, health programs, education, and even computer classes, while the property's amenities include a theatre, an extensive library, safe decks and porches, a game and activities room, a salon and barbershop, a fitness center and exercise room, and massage therapy if anyone feels they need that little bit of extra comfort.

    Residents get cable TV, Wi-Fi, maintenance services, kitchens or kitchenettes in their units, and the security is well reviewed, with safety and comfort always being watched over. The staff manages medication, coordinates with personal care and health plans, and holds visiting hours daily from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM so family and friends can drop by. Better Living Retreat only allows non-Medicaid qualifying residents but does accept long-term care insurance and focuses on seniors in Snohomish County who need assisted living, memory care, or hospice support without a large, crowded setting; it's a quiet residential care home, and even if there aren't any current reviews, the facility focuses on safety, care, and comfort in a simple, straightforward way that tries to meet each senior's needs while letting folks keep the routines and touches of daily life that mean something to them.
