Issaquah Memory Care is our third care facility for my wife who suffers from Parkinson’s dementia, and it is the best. The management listens, the staff really cares, and the residents are livelier than at other places. The layout of the building allows for close contact between staff and residents, and ease of moving about. Rooms open directly to dining and common spaces. Staff can easily maintain visual contact with residents. The inner courtyard garden and pathway provide a wonderful place to visit with loved ones. Also important to us, Issaquah Memory Care lets our small lovable dog stay with my wife, a true blessing for her care. The food is several steps up from the typical, they even offer a choice of entree (or main course) at each meal. The all-around vibe is really positive, lots of smiles and cheerfulness from all quarters. I also really appreciate the flexibility of management in facilitating visitations with my wife and responding to my concerns about her individual needs. Also, more spouses and loved ones visit here than at other places, which is nice for conversation and sharing during visitations.The location is quieter than one might initially suspect (the intersection is busy during rush hour but not backed up, and other times sparse), and is just 5 minutes from downtown, the Farmers Market, Lake Sammamish and the Costco/PCC Pickering Square retail center. Coming from Seattle, we’ve found Issaquah a wonderfully easy place to get around. Note that Issaquah Memory Care is a CPDC Community, a certified Parkinson’s Disease Care facility, which is not the case at most memory care places. Five stars all around for a truly wonderful community!
