    Compassionate, clean, supportive nursing home

    I couldn't be happier with this place - the owners and CNAs are compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. My mom's appetite, drinking and mobility improved quickly; she has a private room with a private bathroom, fresh food prepared on-site, and patient, loving staff who helped her regain strength. The home is spotless, welcoming, and reasonably priced with good communication; I feel grateful and would definitely recommend it. Only wish there were a bit more meal variety and activities.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive. Multiple reviewers emphasize that Ella Blla LLC delivers compassionate, knowledgeable, and personalized care. Staff — including CNAs and caregivers — are repeatedly praised for being patient, loving, and hands-on; several reviewers specifically attribute measurable health or mobility improvements to the care provided (for example, restoration of mobility and improved eating/drinking). Owners are described as welcoming, supportive, and proactive, contributing to a family-like, homelike environment that many families found reassuring.

    Care quality emerges as one of the strongest themes. Reviewers report individualized attention, attentive monitoring, and staff who interact directly with residents (helping with walking, timely showers, grooming, etc.). Several accounts note quick clinical improvements after admission and ongoing advocacy from staff and family; this suggests strong day-to-day caregiving and effective staff responsiveness. One reviewer did mention visiting often to monitor care, which may reflect a highly engaged family rather than a systemic problem, but it indicates that some families remain vigilant early in placement.

    Facility and environment receive consistent praise. Reviews highlight exceptional cleanliness, well-maintained spaces, updated electronic systems, and a layout that supports privacy and convenience (private rooms with private bathrooms, laundry nearby, bathroom directly off the bedroom, outdoor porch and yard). Reviewers also describe pleasant sensory details — aromas from onsite cooking, a tidy kitchen, and residents enjoying nature shows on TV — all contributing to a comforting, home-like atmosphere.

    Dining is another frequently mentioned strength: meals are prepared on-site, many families describe the food as fresh and health-conscious, and residents generally enjoy the meals. However, a recurring constructive point is a desire for greater meal variety and an even broader range of healthier options. While food quality is praised overall, several reviewers explicitly request more diversity in menu offerings.

    Activities and engagement show mixed signals. Some reviewers praise the activities and the warm, engaging staff, while others note limited activities or low participation among residents. This suggests the facility provides activities but may face challenges in either offering a wide variety or encouraging consistent resident involvement. The outdoor spaces, porch, and TV-based programming (e.g., nature shows) are positives, but targeted efforts to boost activity participation and broaden programming could further strengthen this area.

    Management and administrative issues are largely favorable but not without minor concerns. Owners and managers are described as fantastic to work with, responsive, and caring. The primary administrative drawback mentioned is occasional billing glitches; this appears to be isolated rather than widespread but is nonetheless a point for improvement. Pricing is described by at least one reviewer as manageable, and many reviewers gave top ratings across multiple dimensions.

    Notably, nearly all feedback is highly positive and many reviewers explicitly recommend Ella Blla LLC, often with emotional language (gold star, grateful, would definitely recommend). A small minority felt the placement was not the right fit for their family member, indicating that while the facility meets the needs and preferences of most residents, individual compatibility—personal preferences, care expectations, or personality fit—can vary. In summary, Ella Blla LLC is characterized by strong clinical and personal care, a clean and comfortable environment, good on-site dining, and welcoming ownership and staff; areas for continued improvement include administrative smoothness (billing), increasing meal variety and healthier options, and expanding or better tailoring activities to boost participation.

    About Ella Blla LLC

    Ella Blla LLC runs several small, home-like adult care homes in Lynnwood, Washington, including Alderwood Manor, with a special focus on Alzheimer's Care and memory support for seniors with dementia or other mental health needs, and it always feels pretty calm and comfortable in its quiet, residential neighborhood. Each home sits close to coffee shops, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, and health facilities, and you've even got pharmacies and banks nearby, so you're not far from what you need. The community itself looks after only a handful of seniors at once and offers studio layouts, as well as one-bedroom and semi-private rooms, in homes that are wheelchair accessible and designed to be safe, secure, and easy to get around, especially for those who forget things or might wander off, and staff use special technology like bracelets and alarms to help keep everyone safe.

    People who live there get around-the-clock care, including reminders for daily activities like bathing, grooming, or using the bathroom, and trained staff can help with supervision, mobility (even for those who need a lift to transfer), and behavioral support for folks who may have tough days or trouble remembering where they are, and with a doctor on call and visits from podiatrists, dentists, and therapists, Ella Blla LLC can adjust care as needs change as folks age. If someone has diabetes, staff can check blood sugar but can't give insulin, and they handle incontinence care if needed. Three meals a day are provided, with a menu that covers special diets and meal preferences, whether that's low sodium, no sugar, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, or even kosher, and meals are usually eaten together in a dining area, though room service is available too.

    Every day there's something to do, with on-site activities like pet therapy, art classes, gentle stretching, gardening, and devotional services for those who want them, as well as outings and programs to keep life interesting, and sometimes there's support for caregivers or family members who need a short break, with respite stays possible. Seniors here can keep pets, get to know their neighbors in small groups, and the quiet, intimate feel makes it a good spot for those who'd rather avoid bigger, busier facilities, and the whole place doesn't allow smoking inside.

    Visiting hours run from morning to evening, and professional staff-including Mr. Dawit T Asfaha and Mr. Besrat Mehari, part of the management-work to keep things simple, orderly, and kind, with four different Lynnwood locations available and each site registered and licensed as an Adult Family Home. Additional features include beauty and barber services, spiritual programs, and transportation for trips or appointments. Ella Blla LLC's average rating is 9.7 out of 10, making it the second-highest rated community in Lynnwood based on 16 online reviews, and costs usually range from about $5,250 for a semi-private memory care room to $6,500 for a one-bedroom memory care unit, though extra fees may apply. The homes welcome female and male residents, accommodate people with developmental disabilities or major memory and behavior problems, and support residents who want to age in place, with care levels that range from basic assisted living to skilled nursing and memory care. Facilities offer both indoor and outdoor common spaces, parking for residents, and lots of chances to stay active or relax in peace, and with 24-hour supervision and health services, seniors and their families get some reassurance that there's always someone awake and around to help if needed.
