Location! Location! Location! This is a very well-cared-for facility with very kind staff in an idyllic location next to Greenlake and coffee shops, the PCC, and restaurants. I give the staff five stars. The downsides are kind of the same downsides you would find at other facilities. They all have a dark side. One of my parents died where Hearthstone collapsed assisted living, nursing, and memory care all into one floor. . . .so please note that all the reviews here about the skilled nursing and the health center are not relevant anymore. Those days are gone. I'm not sure they should even be able to claim they're still a CCRC. I'm sure it's a systemic problem that all senior homes have now, but we paid a lot of money for not great care when we started to need it. Also tested the emergency call buzzer pendant thing when my parent wet themselves and it didn't work. In the moment, I didn't have it in me to ask for help, so I changed them myself. In retrospect, I wish I had called hospice earlier to care for my parent b/c the hospice people gave better care. As mentioned above, the staff are all lovely people, and it is also true that there are several individuals working in underpaid care positions who might not actually want to be, or who aren't actually cut out for doing this work, but they just don't have other options -- also a systemic problem. Finally, this facility recently started a point system for the food and since then, my widowed parent was not getting enough to eat which is absurd for the amount of money they charge. They have since changed facilities and are eating better. So again, this is a great place if you can stay in independent living and you don't eat very much lol. . . . Otherwise, beware.

This place suck, they don't have a good chef that make a good food, the food they give with a lot oil, they repit same food all weekend, they need a other personal in the kitchen, they don't have enough people, all this places the most time is dirty in the kitchen. The attention is super bad. They putting all food in the refrigerator and then they give to the residents guys this food is not fresh. This place is disgusting inside to kitchen.

It is all about community at The Hearthstone and not just the Green Lake neighborhood community. While we love living in such a vibrant neighborhood, it is the true sense of community with other residents and staff members that makes The Hearthstone so special.

Our decision to move to Cove West at the Hearthstone took several years. We were specifically looking for a non-profit CCRC in order to meet any future healthcare needs. The Hearthstone’s well-established reputation stood out as did the Green Lake location, which in our opinion is unmatched in the Seattle area. All of the community's amenities and the newly-built (at the time) Cove West sealed the deal. Last but not least, we have found true community with our neighbors.
