This place can change names or owners but if you still apply the same horrible care and the same horrible people its not gonna change a thing. My father died after being placed there for rehab. Neglect, lack of compassion, and a very heavy and sad atmosphere.

Majestic Care of Kent truly stands out for its warm, home-like environment and exceptional commitment to resident-centered care. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels welcoming, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to promote dignity and quality of life. The specialized Memory Care unit is especially impressive. The team demonstrates genuine compassion, patience, and expertise in caring for residents with memory-related needs. The environment is calm, secure, and intentionally structured to feel familiar and reassuring, which makes a meaningful difference for both residents and their families. Staff members across the building are attentive, kind, and dedicated to creating a sense of home rather than an institutional setting. Communication is clear, care is individualized, and it’s evident that residents are treated with respect and empathy every day. Majestic Care of Kent is a wonderful option for families seeking a supportive, home-like setting with specialized memory care and a team that truly cares.

Transfered my father there this past week after a terrible stay at a competitor home. Extremely clean with no smells More importantly his quality of life is being tended to in the following ways: Clothes are always clean He is always dressed and groomed timely Room is clean and tidy, with personal items put away and marked Eats with other residents so he can socialize Spends time doing puzzles and reading the paper with staff, doing things he loves each day Call lights wandered timely I am in the Nursing Home industry, so I am aware of the importance of care and the Staff here is amazing. My Father is in Great Hands!
