Key Review Excerpts
“The concept of having residents in cottages as opposed to one large building is wonderful. She truly is at home. The staff from the Executive Director, to the nurses, to the ones that do the day to day care, i have never seen a more dedicated, professional, and friendly group.”
“The food is absolutely terrible—bland, cold, and completely lacking in nutritional value. My family member lost weight while living there because they could barely eat what was served.”
“Cottage of lynnwood has been a wonderful place for my grandma. Heads off to evening caregivers who has been doing a great job with my grandma, especially in memory care, the caregivers are so interactive with the residents, loving, caring, passionate, supportive, diligent and many other.”
