Friendly atmosphere, great food

Our 2 bedroom two bath is very usable and lovely. It has great staff and they are very helpful. Our room is in the original school building and very quiet. We love a reserved parking space. The only disadvantage is they are currently in the process of a remodel. This will be temporary. The dining room is lovely and the food is consistently excellent. Everyone wears a name tag which is wonderful for making everyone feel welcome. The activities are varied, interesting and enjoyable..

Review for Washington Oakes

Washington Oakes is great! The staff is wonderful, always helpful and very pleasant. Food is good, with a nice variety of options. All of the staff are extremely helpful and responsive to resident needs or requests. Meal servers are consistently pleasant. Menus are varied with several choices.. I have no complaints. Value for money is hard to rate, due to my lack of experience with senior living. You get what you pay for.

If a elderly person who doesn't need assistance lived there I'm sure there would be no issues.

They screwed up my Dad's medications several times and could have been a very dangerous situation. The woman in charge of meds, is very rude and defensive. Her staff would bad mouth her to me which was very inappropriate.

Great staff! My mom is happy here.

The people are nice and my mom is happy there. She does get tired of the food due to same menu items all the time with one different entrée a day. Not enough fresh fruit. They could do better on outings. On the drives they don't stop for bathroom breaks. Super important for older folks! They could do more outings during the day. The apartments need air-conditioning

A Positive Place!

My mom is currently a resident at Washington Oakes and everything has been great for her at this facility so far. She has only been here for a couple of months, but it has been a very positive experience. The staff have been friendly and helpful. The cleanliness is great. The care services, meals and value for cost have also been great. I would recommend Washington Oakes to family and friends.

The Hidden Gem of Everett

This facility and staff stands head and shoulders above all other locations in the area. Most of the staff is 5+ years at the location. Food allergies are incredibly well handled and the food is of incredible quality. Every staff member is cheerful and my parents are delighted with all of the activities, both staff run and resident organized. The staff have continued to wow with their support of resident driven changes and organization of interest based events. Wine tastings and dozens of game options, a wood shop and more constantly keep my parents involved and have greatly improved their health both mental and physical. Washington Oakes has been amazing!

Wonderful Community and Home

Mom moved from the Oregon coast into Washington Oakes in 2016 and quickly found she was “home”. Washington Oakes is a warm, caring, family home with all the amenities Mom so loved: exercise room with “her” stationary bike, daily exercise classes, Tai Chi, library, game room, many planned activities, and wonderful food (thanks Chef). The best part is the long-tenured director and staff committed to making this wonderful community a safe and welcoming home.

Mom Loved it there

The best compliment that I can give them is that when the FIRST case of COVID-19 in America showed up at the Hospital 3 blocks away, the Washington Oakes staff was up to the challenge. While other facilities were struggling, this one was keeping its residents safe. Thank you! It's not the most affordable, but you pay for what you get and the staff is amazing. I wish I was old enough to move in! My mother loved it there, especially as it was her old elementary school. She lived in her 5th grade classroom! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.

The community is very clean and the staff is very kind and welcoming to my loved ones. There were even people that knew my loved one when she was younger she reconnected with at this community.I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

Presently there are no dysphagia solids options for dietary restrictions. Unless [name removed] has been upgraded from mechanical soft, it's not an option. The on-staff nurse also needs to get back to determine whether or not they can provide supervision during meals for verbal cueing.

Place was buzzing with activity, updated, all facilities were clean and organized for next group to utilize. We toured 2 bed/1 bath - very spacious, clean and well thought out (lots of closet space). We liked the storage option for each floor, laundry facilities were clean and dining room was full with laughter while eating a delicious meal. Residents were eager to share their stories of Washington Oakes and 1 resident even took us for a tour of her apartment - beautifully decorated and maintained. This is our choice for our parents. [name removed] (our contact) was wonderful - laughed/joked with the residents, answered all of our questions honestly. All in all a great experience.

Super Close To Moms Doctors

Mom loves living here. The food is wonderful to taste very good. The staff is so friendly and engaging with the residents. We couldn't have asked for a better location it's close to all her doctors and the hospital that she would use. The community is so clean and well maintained. Mom is being well taken care of here.

We did not see much of the people who lived there but it was in the middle of the day. We did see some people playing cards in the game room. It was very nice and clean. Lots of things for the people who lived there to do. Great that there is lots of choices with the meals. One of my favorites.

My tour of Washington Oakes Retirement Community went well. The facility was clean and the tour guide was very informative. It was a nice place, just not what I was looking for.

This community offers many and varied activities. It is maintained well and is very clean with no odors. The lunch we had was well prepared and fresh. On a personal level, we both found the paint in the halls of the older section to be very dark. Brighter would have been better but we can live with this.

THIS IS THE PLACE TO CALL HOME!

Washington Oakes is a WOW! My mother and I were searching for a home for my Aunt and had toured MANY terrific locations. While all of the homes had great qualities, there was just nothing that made us feel like HOME until we walked into Washington Oakes! Robbie is AMAZING and within a few moments we knew that we had found the perfect home for my Aunt. My Aunt is OVERJOYED with her new home! The residents, the team of outstanding associates and the facility are all welcoming and have embraced not only my Aunt, but our entire family. It is a TREAT to visit and we all look forward to walking through the doors! I cannot recommend Washington Oakes enough-you truly must visit and you too will see that this is a community that shines above all others!
