My wife and I moved my 88 year-old mother into the 55th Avenue SW & SW Charlestown home above Alki…read moreabout 18 months ago. The home has an excellent atmosphere with open spaces, clean wood floors with minimal obstructions, a sunny patio with a view of Puget Sound, and a mostly warm and professional staff. There's a caregiver on premises overnight, with two caregivers often overlapping in the morning and evening hours. The caregiver-prepared food is good. Caregivers are attentive to medication administration, bathing care, making sure my mom gets enough water, and keeping tabs when she's in the bathroom. In addition they assist with the extras that come up - things like helping mom and us try on different sizes and kinds of underwear to see what fits and what she prefers, or curling my mom's hair in the morning before I pick her up for church. The owners, Simon and Marina, are flexible and work with families to make their loved ones comfortable. Musical performers visit a couple of times a month. We're happy my mom lives in a place she feels comfortable, safe and cared for.

My husband and I have lived in a Mirabella apartment since July 2019…read more (I just happened on a negative review that shocked me. ) I initiated a search 5 years ago after falling down stairs twice in our wonderful Ballard house. the transition was fairly easy, much to my surprise. We had an easy move-in and live very comfortably here. There are staff dedicated to moves. The move-in fee was big, but we sold our house, so not a problem. If you move or pass away, a large % of the fee is refunded. We get the equivalent of a big meal a day per person (or 2 small ones) included in our monthly fee, as well as fairly thorough housekeeping every 2 weeks. I don't own a vacumn. They gave us new carpet and I chose to have wood floors for part. On move in, you choose things like wall paint colors, etc. The dining rooms include a casual one where you can pick up meals or choose baked goods etc. I love the staff here. I hire someone to help me above and beyond, but could comfortably manage without if needed. I love to be surrounded by books and have built- in shelves. Maybe you will be lucky and move into a place like mine where the previous occupant did so. We have an electric fireplace. You can move in your furniture at your own expense or find helpful relatives. Parking is an extra fee, tiny if you compare it to city charges. We have a big swimming pool, a smaller warjacuzzi and hot tub, a " Restore "  of items donated or left behind, where I like to shop. It was created by and staffed with wonderful resident volunteers. Lots of programs of all kinds, classes like a writing class I'm fond of. Many other services help, like packages delivered to your apt door. During Covid, they delivered our food. I think you get a certain number of such deliveries a year/ free. They are NOT paying me for this review.

The staff overall has been top notch, from the doctors, nurses and certified nursing assistants to the physical/occupational therapists and administrative team. The facility itself is lovely and clean, and the food is consistently excellent--lots of menu choices to suit every diet. I'd like to give a particular shoutout to the nursing staff whose care is always accompanied by a smile, including Shay, Thanh, Sintayehu, Raj, Krishna, Kevin and Dennis; and the amazing physical and occupational therapists who are providing the literal wind beneath my wings: Robbie, Wanda, Pat and Aidan. I honestly don't know what I would have done without their care and encouragement. I still have a way to go, but all of these kind, smart folks have helped make my healing journey as pleasant as possible.

Navigating options for elder parent care is daunting. Cost factors, financial implications, and…read morespecialized needs are all things I knew nothing about but had to grasp so I could find safe care and housing solutions for my mother suffering from dementia. After continuing deterioration resulted in my mom being hospitalized, we had to face the difficult reality that my dad could no longer care for my mom by himself. Kayla, our social worker from Kindred at Home, referred us to Derek Esses - and we could not have asked for a better partner to help find a home that met all our needs. During our initial meeting Derek patiently listened to all the elements that were important to us: a location that was close to my sister's home since that's the neighborhood my dad wanted to live in / care-givers who spoke our native language since my mom would toggle between that and English / a home that cooked food from our culture since mom seemed to be more interested in eating foods that were familiar to her / etc. He asked additional questions (are pets in the house ok ... what about children ... live-in care vs. shift-scheduled care ... etc.) to effectively match our needs with the available options that fell in our price range. Within two weeks, we had three options to discuss. My family and I visited two of the homes, met with the owners and staff, discussed cost factors ... and ... within approximately 6wks from the start of my engagement with Derek, my mom was moved and settled into her new home. Close to six months later, Derek Esses still checks in to see how my mom and our family are doing. I consider him our "local expert" for elder care options and services related to ensuring my folks live their best lives into their golden years. I've reached out with a variety of questions and recently asked if he might help connect relatives in CA with similar resources/services as they are also working through this process with our senior family members. He listens ... is always helpful ... super efficient ... truly empathetic ... and committed to providing exceptional service to his clients and partners. Derek made an emotional and difficult process very manageable for me and my family -- we are so grateful for his kindness, help, and expertise!
