MBK Senior Living

They were short handed, the quality of care was good but the quantity was not there. They were not doing their hourly check ups and things like that. This also affected the activities as well because they did not have an activities director. I do think the staff could do a little better with communication with me. I feel that the value for the money was there. Overall I would recommend the facility to others.

Overall good but was a short period of time so keep that in mind on pros and cons. [Name removed] died about 5 weeks after moving in. He really liked the food. His apartment was very nice and the care givers he really liked....the nurses checking on him at night he felt were incredible and very compassionate. There were some transitional challenges....between hospice and Elegance - but not sure who owned what.

The facility is clean, modern and smells good. The staff are wonderful and caring and always take the extra effort to make sure my mom feels loved and cared for

The staff members are very friendly but just like everybody else they are understaffed at times and it does tend to show when it comes to the quality of the care services. Our loved one has not been happy with the food and we know other residents feel the same so that is an area of improvement. They do have a lot of activities going on but they just do not have enough people to lead all the activities. We do think the value for the money is really good.

I am told one thing and promised that and then there are times the follow through isn't available. The staff communication with the family is good. The issue I see is the internal communication with the staff isn't always happening to make sure that everyone is on the same page. There is a call button that the residents have, and the staff are to be responding. The staff is supposed to be assisting with dressing and undressing my loved one. This was part of the care plan, and it isn't always followed through. It would be nice to have better follow through from management to the staff to make sure the care plan is being followed.

I had a relative whose parents were there, so I decided to check it out. I liked it. The staff seemed to be very friendly. There were lots of people about and conversations and activities going on. It was a lively environment. They gave a good tour, showed me everything, and answered all of my questions.

This community was great it was just out of our price range for what all my loved one would have needed for assistance. It was more modern and new but I knew it would be out of reach for us.

The layout at The Montera was spread out, with lots of different areas and sections. I found it to be big and confusing, which would have been a problem for my loved one with memory issues. It also seemed they could have used a little more staff because of the size of facility, although I know Covid is a factor in finding help.

My loved one is blind and I don't think the kitchen staff doesn't know how to work with a blind resident. I think her food could be cut up smaller, and to tell her what is on her plate, etc. It is a good place to have someone. I don't feel they have enough staff to care for the residents right now. I have been called before to help calm down my loved one. I think the staff need more training for caring of non sited residents (blind). She needs to be told location of the foods like the turkey is at 9 o'clock, green beans at 6 o'clock, roll at 3 o'clock. This will help her navigate her meals, etc.

We had a very good tour at Estancia del Sol. I liked everything about it, especially how bright, clean, and welcoming the facility was. It was just too far out from where we live.

This community was very pretty but too sterile and did not seem like they were ready for business.

The communication could be improved with the residents, and visiting family and friends. The staff are responsive to friends and family's requests. They recently switched chefs. It would be nice to have the residents be more encouraged to join in on the activities by floor.

This has been a very good experience for me. My apartment is comfortable and a pleasant space. The staff has been kind and always helpful as needed. Extracurricular activities are varied and offer something for just about everyone. There is a sense of friendliness throughout. However, as with many places where food is prepared in large quantities, not all items on the menu suit everyone but here there are alternatives availabl

Homes are nice. Personnel are very kind and helpful. Feel safe and secure in my home.

A nice place to live! Strong points: residents are delightful. They are friendly, inclusive, fun and smart. Staff are always pleasant, kind, and caring and anxious to help. The units are extra large and very nice. Activities are plentiful, interesting. Downside: 1. slow to provide maintenance. 2. Food is marginal and undependable communication by leadership is moderate.

Homes are nice. Personnel are very kind and helpful. Feel safe and secure in my room.

The stay has been pleasant, good. I moved in to the community is Sept 2021. I am still establishing the areas of interest around the city of Mountlake Terrace, etc. and inside the community. I have a nice, quiet apartment lot where I find peace within me. It's nice and private, where I can sing.

I like the community. I tis a nice place to live in because the staff are nice and the people around me are nice.

I feel it's reasonable with the condition I have, I love my home. The dining is great! I feel safe living here, the team of care staffs are happy, cheerful every time I pass their office to go home. This place is clean, what it is needed for. It fulfills the need at a time, Soduko puzzles I like playing always good for me and I am never lonely.
