Brookdale Olympia West sits in a quiet neighborhood and is part of Brookdale Senior Living, offering several types of senior care under one roof, so people can move from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, continuing care retirement communities, and even at-home care if that becomes necessary, and with staff on-site around the clock there's always someone to help out whether it's an emergency or just day-to-day support, and the staff here are known for being friendly and kind, which helps create a more welcoming and comfortable environment. The building has supportive living features like wide hallways, easy access to common rooms, controlled access, and safety systems that let residents request help quickly any time of day or night, and for those with memory concerns, the secure community and special memory care suits people with Alzheimer's and other dementias, with consistent staff, programs like Clare Bridge for mid- to late-stage dementia, and Solace for advanced memory loss, which helps provide structure and a feeling of belonging that's safe and soothing, so residents can feel purpose in their daily lives. The campus encourages a focus on wellness through daily activities for social, physical, and mental health, including life enrichment programs, resident lounges, a library, a courtyard, walking paths, a garden, and even a refreshment station with a vintage popcorn machine, and the Fireside Living Room has plenty of cozy chairs, a piano, a fireplace, and a television, while meals-breakfast, lunch, and dinner-are prepared by a registered dietitian, so folks get tasty, nutritious food every day. Choices of where to live are straightforward: private suites around 315 square feet with a bedroom, bathroom, and closet or a semi-private suite, about 625 square feet, with two bedrooms and a shared bathroom; all units include private bathrooms, storage space, large windows for good light, cable or satellite TV, emergency call systems, and are unfurnished so everyone can bring things from home and make the space their own. Assisted living is available for people who need help with daily jobs like bathing or taking medicine, and there's transportation for appointments, housekeeping, pet-friendly features, and Wi-Fi all over the building, plus events and signature programs that keep folks engaged and involved, and good communication with families is a strong point for staff, so everyone is kept up to speed about health issues and medical needs. Brookdale Olympia West holds 64 licensed beds, has a small percentage of Medicaid occupancy, and is known as a "Best of Senior Living All Star" for its high number of positive reviews in 2024, and while it doesn't share much flashy marketing or pushy promises, it does keep a steady focus on providing genuine support, nutritious food, health and safety features, and a homelike environment, so older adults can have the level of independence they want, with help when they need it, and a sense of community with other interesting folks living nearby.

- Memory care
Bright facility caring staff unsafe
I liked the bright, clean facility, friendly and knowledgeable staff, good meals and activities, and a convenient, pet-friendly location - the director and several caregivers were genuinely caring. However, chronic understaffing and high turnover created real safety risks: missed showers, medication issues, residents left unattended (even after falls), cold or without shoes, and lost or missing belongings. Administration was inconsistent and unaccountable - policy changes without notice, poor communication, billing problems, and suspected staff misconduct. It's expensive and not the best value for dementia care; I moved my parent out quickly and would warn other families to look elsewhere until staffing and management improve.
