Mount Vernon Wa Life Care Center…read more I went to MVLCC after complications for an amputation with the idea that I would do a rehab stint there. These are my observations from a stay that ultimately was just under 8 weeks and included a state inspection where the state inspectors interviewed me. The Facility and My Room The facility serves 2 purposes, rehab, and long term residency. The facility is laid out nicely with a dining room adjacent to the kitchen, a day room to one side of the dining room and a centrally located activity room where groups could get together. The Gym and rehab rooms are at the far end of the building. There are a few nursing stations scattered down the central hallway. There is a dedicated shower room as none of the rooms seemed to have a shower in them, The Facility itself is dated and suffering from a lot of deferred maintenance they are playing catch up on. It needs paint, carpet, plumbing fixes here and there as well as some Hvac work.. I would expect the conditions to improve as they work the issues. My room was set up for 2 people and had 2 TVs but only 1 sink and shared a bathroom with the adjacent room. This wasn't too bad to deal with, but I might feel different if I was a woman sharing a bathroom with men in the connecting room. We did share the bathroom with women in the adjoining room for a short while. The gym and rehab room were what I was focused on and the equipment, while old, got the job done. The food was generally uninspiring, but they feed a lot of people 3 times a day so perhaps I need to ratchet my expectations down a bit. The kitchen staff also had to split meals between those residents eating in the dining room and those eating in their rooms so all in all, they did ok. There was limited consideration to doing diabetic options and I don't recall there being a dietician on staff. Now we get to talk about what made all of these shortcomings tolerable for me. The people on staff in Physical Therapy and the Occupational Therapy rooms were excellent and the one on one time they spend with you is tailored to what your individual health journey requires. I got stronger faster because of them and I can't say enough good things about them. Also, the CNAs, those non nurse caregivers, were great. Those that I interacted with took really good care and looked out for me, I owe them my thanks. But we need to consider that I was a low maintenance patient as I could do a lot of things for myself, others are not as lucky as I am and I noticed a distinct dropoff in care for those needing more help, and that's a shame. The Nurses I had were outstanding and made sure I was on time with my meds as well as doing a good job with wound care. One was also an amputee and walked me through some of my issues and that really helped. The Admin folks were really good at dealing with the insurance stuff as well as getting deliveries and mail to me. There was one particular bad apple among them but you just have to look beyond them So, would I go back there? If you are there for rehab, Yes, the good outweighs the bad and I can tell myself I can do anything for a month. If you are looking for long term care, I would ask them how they are doing on the deficiencies noted in their annual state inspection that occurred while I was there. Ask to see the report.

My Mother was diagnosed with Dementia in 2024. The journey since then has been one of heartache,…read morestress, grief and sadness. I was not able to care for her needs in her home and had to move her into an assisted living facility. After a brief three months, my Mom was evicted from the place, and I discovered the level of care my Mom required surpassed what the staff or facility she was at could offer. My Mother started to exhibit some emotional issues and behavioral problems that added to why she was evicted from the assisted living apartment. I quickly discovered there are almost no resources or places for people like my Mother to move into. I tried to get her into a group home, but she was denied. I was exasperated and uneasy about having to move her into a memory care unit. Luckily, or due to divine intervention, I was told about Ashley Gardens. The Nurse who recommended the place suggested I call the Assistant Director, Melissa. She knew that Melissa had experience working with difficult clients like my Mom and could help. I called and made an appointment. When we met, Melissa took time to answer all of my questions. I told her I needed to find a quality place that would work with my Mom and that I did not have to worry about her being discharged if she was difficult to manage. Melissa is also a Nurse and she shared some of her previous work experiences with me, which made me feel confident in her abilities. I have not only been impressed with her, but have been impressed with the entire team at Ashley Gardens. Everyone, I have met Sherry, Lissa, Lynn, Angelique, the medication technicians and the caregivers have all been caring, competent, and respectful towards my Mom. My Mom has not been an easy resident, and I believe most places would have discharged her, instead of working with her through the difficult transition to get her medications right and her behaviors managed. The team at Ashley Gardens has continued working with my Mom and today she is doing well and is stabilizing. In addition, I can tell my Mom feels safe and at home and enjoys having her own room. The building design was thoughtfully done to provide a comfortable environment. The grounds are kept up, the place is clean has a home environment and feels like a home not an institution. If you are looking for a special place with special people to care for your loved one you need look no further than Ashley Gardens! Thank you.
