A first rate facility. My mom has been there a year. A few quick comments as much has been covered by others.. We have really enjoyed the holiday dining meals which are great with lots of families celebrating. Very convenient and delicious for our family to gather. Also my mom recently had a medical issue that required a short term 2 week stay in nursing care after hospital stay and staff were very accommodating to find a room and make that happen. Just note that due to length of time in facility since move in a year ago, we did have to private pay for the nursing stay, so be sure to read and understand your contract. (We knew that was the case, so just a heads up).

My husband and I have lived at Timber Ridge almost a year after trying another retirement community and investigating everything between Maple Valley and Bothell. TR is by far the best, and we are so happy. It is exceptional in so many ways. It is a Continuous Care Community offering independent living, nursing, assisted living, and memory care all with wonderful and caring staff. TR also manages assistance for those who want care in their own unit. The food is outstanding with many delightful choices; there are a never-ending number of activities to please everyone, including on-site as well as off-site excursions; there is fitness center with water aerobics, balance classes, and great equipment; physical therapy is on-site along with a health center to assist when needed and also bring in various specialist medical personnel. The staff is well screened, trained, and motivated and so friendly and efficient. I could say more, but hopefully, you will come see for yourself! Be sure to ask about medical deductions on your taxes, especially the first year.

My parents have lived there since 2012! It has been a an excellent choice for them to get the care and support they ended up needing as the years passed. Financially it has paid off too. Mom is in skilled nursing now and gets the best 24 hour care we could hope for at a much better price tag then otherwise. The staff really cares with their hearts’ and have become fond people j look forward to greeting each visit. Highly recommend this place to live in a supportive community and make new friends!

Timber Ridge at Talus is a progressive care facility and is located on Cougar Mountain and overlooks downtown Issaquah and the Cascade Mountains. After visiting and researching different retirement communities on the eastside and Seattle areas, Timber Ridge quickly stood out among them all on our first visit. The community is beautifully designed and decorated, meticulously maintained, and has a welcoming, friendly environment.<br>Several things that helped to make this community desirable for my mother and our family is that it provides all levels of care – from independent living to assisted living, memory care and hospice. Once my mother started to decline in health, we didn’t want to move her to another facility, which was the case in many communities we looked at. She has had to make several changes and each time, staff members were very helpful in accommodating and making her adjustment as easy as possible. Timber Ridge has quite a variety of independent living units that range in size, a variety of floor plans to pick from, and are in beautiful condition. My mother was able to select the carpet, counter tops and paint colors for her unit, so it felt like home to her when she moved in.<br>This community has a lot to offer and some of the amenities include: beauty shop, a pool, workout room, library, movie theater, meeting areas, arts and crafts room, car service for those who are unable to drive, grab and go food counter, as well as a wonderful café and full-service dining room. We have often had family gatherings for holidays and meals in the dining room, where residents can make reservations ahead of time for groups. I’ve been impressed with the wide selection of items on their menus and have enjoyed many meals in the dining room and café.<br>My mother purchased a unit in 2018 and since then, I’ve been extremely impressed with the friendly, dedicated staff and love that they address their residents by name as they see them in the hallways or community areas. Staff members do a great job of communicating via newsletters, emails, and calls if there are any concerns, so I feel my mother gets wonderful care and I’m aware of what’s going on. Now that she is in assisted living, I’m so impressed with the staff and caregivers that take care of her and the other residents each day. They are often one on one with them in the dining room, playing cards or an activity, visiting, etc. There are multiple activities going on each day, some including musical groups, speakers, bridge groups, BINGO, gardening, arts and crafts, etc. I knew it was a good sign when I called my mother one day to visit and she said she was too busy with too many activities that day! It’s apparent that residents are comfortable and happy to be there. I’ve grown to know many of them over the years and have never heard a negative comment about the facility or staff members, unlike some of my friends who have parents or friends in other communities.<br>After several years of looking for just the “right” community, my mother, other family members and I agree that she ended up in the best place imaginable!
