Incompetency, neglect, zero communication.....my mother has been there for almost 3 weeks and they have not bathed her ONCE, they kept giving her blood thinners when she is clearly bleeding into her cath tube for a few days now, her nails are so dirty, even her teeth haven't been brushed! Not to mention how hot her room is! She hasn't been moved from her bed to sit in the wheelchair since she arrived, from what I've seen, and her BP was super low, yet they kept giving her the BP meds, as well!!! No one seemed to know what her charts have said, nor will they send her back to her senior home! She was only supposed to be there to have antibiotics administered through IV!!! She should have been sent back to her home by now!

I visited this place as a provider to see someone. I was blown by the fact how excellent this place is. Staff are very professional, friendly and polite. The facility looks a law firm than Healthcare facility because it is super clean and best views of the sound. Their concierge head Bonnie is to the next level in customer service skill. Debbie and all other staff deserve recognition of their hard work making this facility an outstanding place of care.

Have you already been in touch with Judson Park?

Washington asks us to share this statement and gather a short intake first

Read the statement, add what you can below (a few words each, all optional), and Send signs it with the name you entered.

Washington disclosure statement, dated October 26, 2026, under the Elder and Vulnerable Adult Referral Agency Act (RCW 18.330).

(a) Agency: MyLivingChoice LLC (MyLivingChoice.com), 8705 N. Cypress Ct, Kansas City, MO 64156, (816) 226-7772.

(b) Client: the person sending this request.

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee computed as a percentage of your first month's rent and care charges, invoiced to the community after you move in. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to Judson Park and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it. To obtain or share confidential health care information about the person who needs care we need your authorization, which you give for the communities named above by acknowledging this statement.

(g) Tours: we do not tour communities as a matter of course. Our information comes from the community itself, its state licence record and public sources. We have not toured Judson Park.

(h) You may stop using our service, or switch to another referral agency, at any time and for any reason, with no penalty and no cancellation fee.

(i) Refunds: because you pay us nothing, there is nothing to refund to you. If a community pays us a fee for your placement and the resident dies, is hospitalized or moves to another setting for more appropriate care within the first thirty days after admission, we refund the community a prorated share of the fee for the days not used, as RCW 18.330.090 requires.

(j) Complaints about a referral agency may be filed with the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division (Consumer Resource Center), 800 5th Ave, Suite 2000, Seattle, WA 98104-3188, 1-800-551-4636 in Washington, 1-206-464-6684 from outside the state, https://www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint.

By submitting, you're okay with us and Judson Park reaching out by phone, email or text.Always free for families. If you move in, the community you chose pays us a referral fee, never you; any nearby communities we suggest are chosen by your answers, never by what they pay us.
