I was surprised to see so few reviews - and so negative! It's impossible to determine how these…read morepeoples' experince were so dissimilar to ours. But I can say that my mother moved in early 2022 and just passed away and we never had a negative experience of any kind. The surroundings and building are well maintaind and have a "hotel" type feel. The staff is professional, competent and pleasant. My mother enjoyed unterfacing with them - "they're always smiling". The food is very good. It was not my mother's inclination but there are plenty of group activites, including a shuttle for tours and shopping. The final week of my mothers life there was closely monitored by the Regency staff with the nurses making the determination on when to bring in Hospice (and this is a really great group too - very professional and attentive). I usually don't give 5 stars because that implies perfection but I needed to counter the low rating that I feel was undeserved.

Friends who reside there sure appear to be happy. Care (when I visited) was attentive too.read more

FALSE ADVERTISING! They still say they are locally owned and that they have nurses available 24/7…read moreon their website. This just isn't true. There is NEVER a nurse available-just medical technicians, which all are not trained or knowledgeable about medications and they are trusted to care for this vulnerable population with no skill, training or nurse managers. The Administrator is never available and always behind a closed door. I've been coming to Sherwood for many years and it's sad to see the decline. It speaks volumes that the staff looks stressed and unhappy. I will NOT be recommending Sherwood to anyone anymore.

The staff are unfailingly kind and patient- they never make you feel rushed at all. They are knowledgeable, capable and everyone seems very happy there.

I am very, very comfortable with my mom being there- the staff are taking great care of her and do everything they can to accomodate all of my requests! Thank you so very, very much!

WO had by far the best food of any place we visited. They moved from their home in Kingson to Washington Oaks together for the first two months. The staff - every one of them!!!, is kind and aware of the needs of the residents. Mom can walk long safe distances with their sky bridges. Physical therapy and Exercise class is on-site. As a result, she keeps strong and keeps walking despite a severe bilateral disability in her muscles. I am confident being here because assisted care is available should she need it. Shout out to Mark the awesome director!

More importantly, my Mom was impressed enough to sell her home in New Mexico and move to Washington Oakes, which is right in our neighborhood. Everyone you meet, staff and residents alike, are friendly and really seem to like it there. Many staff have been there a long time, which tells me the management puts as much emphasis on caring for their staff as they do their residents. The building itself is a wonderfully remodeled, historic school, truly a beautiful structure. The feeling it is cold, and everything is a clean. My mom is already enjoying participating in the activities, which there are many to choose from. We love Washington.Oakes, and Maricel is the BEST!

The nursing staff is good - I wish there was one more on at night. It is never ideal when your family member makes the decision (or it is made for them) to get some additional help in life but LCRI is great for offering a large menu of options to keep seniors entertained and social. My dad now rides in a men's ebike club all over town daily, scary I know but he is able to safely keep his independence. There is always something going on and the staff is really nice. The food was okay when my dad moved in and has gotten so much better... When I think about facilities for seniors, our family is happy our dad is here because he is happy he is here and has a full circle of friends.

Deborah is an extremely sweet, kind, and empathetic human who understands the anxiety we face when our loved ones need elderly assistance. She helped us navigate the process right from the beginning, giving us advice on many options. She was proactive with communication, checked in often, and spent time in person without being rushed. She didn't pressure us into anything, but rather looked out for our mom's best interest. The facility tour gave us the overall impression that the residents were very happy.

We were impressed enough to get on their waiting list for the future. The grounds are impressive for those people who enjoy recreating outdoors. The interior of what we call the "4 plexes", which are independent living, are absolutely beautiful and spacious. We have not yet tried their cuisine but have heard it's terrific. As a continuing care community, WB operates differently than most other senior housing places, so it's up to us to check out all the differences. They no longer offer skilled nursing or rehab as of this date, though they have a close relationship to a nearby rehab location. Despite being operated by a church organization WB appears to be welcoming to all. I checked out their Board of Directors and was really impressed with the depth of experience it represented. A friend and I have been touring a lot of senior housing complexes over the past several years and WB really stands out.

We were…read moreadvised to wait 2-3 months before applying for Medicaid until my parents' funds were depleted in order to qualify. This was incorrect information. My mom's care could have been covered by Medicaid. I asked for a discount on the remaining balance given the wrong info that was provided by their new marketing person. This was refused. This is not a nursing home with nurses on site 24/7. As a result, we experienced delays in medication changes. This was not disclosed or explained. As a retired RN, I advocated for my mom. At times, this was met with resistance. However, ultimately, the communication and care improved during my mom's last days before her death.

If your family member requires personal or medication care, an Island Health case manager can request service and a care aide to come into St. Francis Manor to provide the help. St. Francis is much cheaper than a private, long-term care facility and about the same price as an assisted living facility. The bonus is that because it is small, the staff know their residents much better and are all very kind. When my mother in law was living here, Carol Ann and Gerard (owners) went out of their way to assist her in emergency situations, quite a number of times. I work in the health care field so I know that other facilities simply would not have provided the individualized care that she received.
