Dat Lady - Dog Walking
I start each weekday at this facility by walking the wonderful dog of one of the residents. I felt inclined to leave this review because I find this facility to be so superior to some that I have visited over the past years. I can’t think of a time where I’ve encountered a staff member who didn’t have a smile on their face, or a friendly greeting. They are always helpful and patient. It seems like people are truly happy to be living there and working there. The staff person I deal with most often is Sally and every time I see her interacting with others it is friendly and with a smile on her face. I wish all senior communities were like this one!

We recently toured Mountlake Terrace Plaza for my father-in-law, and the experience was very positive. The facility was clean and inviting, I couldn’t help but notice how cheerful and content the residents seemed. Alisha looked after us and was super friendly, attentive, and you can tell she really cares about the people there. It made a stressful process feel a lot easier.

From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt the warmth and genuine kindness from this community. Even though they knew I was just visiting my friend and I'm from out of state - every single staff member and resident treated me like family. Anne, the incredible Activity Director, was so excited to share all the enriching opportunities available to residents. She even gave me a demonstration of their virtual reality program—an experience I’ll never forget! She “took” me back to England, and I walked down the same streets I visited nearly 35 years ago. It was powerful, emotional, and something I never expected to experience that day. During lunch, the chef personally came to our table while we were savoring the most delicious hummus and homemade pita bread. Yes, homemade pita bread! Can you believe that? It’s that kind of attention to detail and passion that really makes this place shine. The residents were so nice! One proudly introduced us to his dog, and we were even invited to join a lively game of Black Jack, where the prize was a shared dinner with friends—how sweet is that? Before we left, both Emily from the business office and the Executive Director took the time to chat with us, just to say hello and hear about our visit. That kind of leadership and genuine hospitality is rare and absolutely worth celebrating. I just had to take share this exceptional experience.
