Great Community
The residents are active, out and about, doing things. Not like a lot of other places we saw where the halls were ghost towns. Food is excellent. Everyone is so friendly and we would absolutely recommend The Lodge at Mallard's Landing to other families

Review for The Lodge at Mallard's Landing
The health staff was par. If your parent needs more than independent living it will cost a lot and the staff is not prepared/trained. They have a few good med techs and CNAs but most of them are very basic in their care abilities (wheelchair a person down and back for their meals).Kitchen did a good job meeting allergy needs but I felt the staff should be more diligent with what your feed the people with allergies. So if they ask for a meal that they shouldn't have they should offer them something else.

Good company that you can trust with family
It is very expensive and the cottages are very small. It is next to a large highway, and not entirely walkable for seniors looking to do something else, like be able to walk to small shops or restaurants. Not the most ideal, independent living set up for those without cars. But the staff is very nice and accommodating.

Review for The Lodge at Mallard's Landing
Overall, I really liked the Lodge at Mallards Landing. It's a beautiful facility, and the staff is very friendly. My mother was in the memory care facility at The Lodge.

Good living
Staff are very friendly and always asks 'how you doing today' and if you need anything. The meals are delicious and are served by a great staff that come by and check to see if there is anything else that is needed. Suggest a 'doggie bag' for the dessert. Lots of activities to keep you busy

If your loved one has any problematic behavior, don't waste your money.
My father was a resident of the memory care, and was only there for one month, before being told that he had to "get his medications straightened out" before he could come back. The Lodge signed an agreement that they would allow him to come back, but after a month at an inpatient unit, they determined that he could not come back. Memory care is for dementia patients, and the staff should be trained and able to deal with normal dementia behavior. This facility is not able or willing to that. The exorbitant cost should include all of dementia care. If your loved one has any difficult behaviors, don't waste your time or money. On a side note: [name removed] is the person we first talked to. She was amazing and very helpful. Definitely a great advocate and employee.

Tour of The Lodge
I toured The Lodge at Mallard's Landing during my search for an Assisted Living facility for my loved one. The tour was fine, but I felt that I could have had a bit more time. I loved the atmosphere there, but when I considered it for my dad, I found it to be too large and spread out and thought this could be overwhelming for him. There are lots of stairs (and elevators). It was very comfortable seeming, like a lodge. They have been voted Best Food in an Assisted Living, but I didn't have a meal.

2 parents
We had both parents in Memory Care at Mallards Landing most of their time was during COVID. We were very appreciative of the care they received. All protocols and protection were used during lockdown. Out of lockdown we were confident they were being cared for and received genuine caring interactions with the staff. Would recommend them to anyone.

Outstanding
My mother moved into this community and she loves it. The convenience, the comfort, and the safety. The staff are very kind and attentive. The food is outstanding and the dining room service is top notch. Gig Harbor is a great city too. I recommend this community.

A Caring place to call home
Thank you for your caring assistance for my husband in memory care. I took care of him as long as I physically could at home but needed to make the change. The staff shows kindness in caring for my husband. The kitchen & dinning staff are attentive to his needs in a friendly manner. The rooms are bright and cheery, as are the back patios. Thank you!

Exceptional care at The Lodge at Mallard's Landing
My 85 year old mother moved to assisted living here in July. Care is, for the most part, very caring and professional. The facility is appropriately staffed and response to call lights is very prompt. My family (including my husband and children ages 13 and 14) have had the opportunity to dine with her multiple times. The food is excellent, especially the Seafood specials. Dining service is excellent and very personable. Would be nice if they had more scheduled social events/parties for special holidays etc.

Tour experience
I absolutely LOVED the lodge. They offered a 5 year social security spend down which is nice. The reason my dad did not choose this facility was because the layout of the facility was not as nice and the rooms were a bit smaller than some others we had visited. Other than that it was a great place and this was definitely the runner up.

A happy aunt is a good aunt
The Lodge at Mallard's Landing is a bit short staffed, so we aren't getting all the care we're paying for. However, the staff who are there are very good. They're very hardworking and they are really trying to take care of everyone's needs. We are paying for the highest tier, but because they are so short staffed our family has to do a lot things. If we weren't there to advocate, things like a tray might be left behind or the trash may not be emptied. The most important thing for me, even though we've had staffing issues, is that my aunt is so happy there. She's in their memory care unit and we thought it would be a battle, but after a month there she loves it and doesn't want to leave. We had to fill out a lot of paperwork, it was incredible how much paperwork we had to complete. We also filled out paperwork for her toe nails to be cut; once a month a doctor comes in to cut nails. We gave a lot of information and discovered a lot of stuff wasn't processed, she wasn't signed up for certain services. Balls were dropped from the time we first filled out paperwork, so we had to follow up and make sure the things we thought were taken care of, were actually taken care of. It was kind of a disappointment, but once it was resolved it was good. For example: my aunt has been in the emergency room several times for dehydration. She has trouble getting downstairs and she only drinks ice water. If someone doesn't bring it, she wont drink it. We put it in her admissions paperwork that she won't drink lukewarm or room temperature water. The staff realized it and they bring it now, but it was a learning curve. My aunt is also on oxygen and it was a real challenge for them to understand how to work with it. She was running out of it or given empty bottles, but now they seem to get it. It took a couple months, but they've seemed to figured it out. To us, the most important thing is how happy she is. I know there are problems, but her happiness trumps everything. I know they're trying hard. She is happy and that amazes me! For someone who didn't want to leave her home, we expected breakdowns, but the staff are so nice to her here. There are a couple of caregivers she just loves; they've made such a positive impact on her that even with dementia she remembers their names and it warms my heart. It's a really pretty facility with a pretty location. There are trees all around it and it's near a lake. It looks like a mountain lodge and it's very welcoming. They did a beautiful mural inside. Because she's in memory care, they painted this really pretty mountain mural over the door so residents don't realize it's a door and try to leave. It's such an interesting concept and it seems to have done the trick. When we first arrived it hadn't been painted, and we would see people approaching the door. Once it was done, I haven't seen them approach it. It's a nice little touch! My aunt also always compliments the food and how delicious it is.

I very much appreciate the care my mother receives here.
I very much appreciate the care my mother receives here. The staff is always pleasant and attentive to the residents. The staff to resident ratio impresses me. It is always well staffed. A big thank you to all the care givers, nurses, aids, and support staff that work day and night, hand & hand with memory care residents. a big thank you to onsite management team for keeping me informed of my mothers well being, her safety, and for establishing a culture that a child would want to take care of their parent.
