Nursing Homes Community in Federal Way, Washington

I've lived at Traditions for almost 2 years. In making the decision where to live, one of the things I really liked about Traditions was the security. I love it here but it is getting more and more dangerous to live here. There is a resident that is letting homeless people and prostitutes into the building. Just today, there was a homeless man bathing in the dog bath area in one of our garages. Management is aware yet this resident is still here! They have him on camera letting people in or leaving a door open so they can come in. Yet, he is still here!!! I received a rent increase in November of almost $200 and this is what I'm paying for?????? I have to carry pepper spray to take my dog out!!!!!

My father has been in Brookdale Federal Way for six months now. The staff is amazing. Everything is wonderful except it's during COVID, so he can't participate in their activities. The only thing that I don't like is that it does not have a courtyard for him to walk around outside. He has a studio apartment, but they have a variety of rooms. They have rooms where they do things, but they're not doing them because of COVID. They have the common area where they can get together, a media room where they can use the computer, and a big dining room -- just the standard things. They don't have outside areas, planters, or anything like that outside. They don't have a workout area or anything like that. He doesn't complain about the food.

I visited Brookdale Foundation House. It was a very nice three-story unit, and there was a lady playing the piano in the foyer. There were people comfortably moving in the library, in the dining room, and in other areas. The staff was a little overwhelmed with the people scheduled for tours, so I didn't feel quite as special. It's more like they were giving me the information before hurrying onto the next person.

My dad moved in on November 19. It's a beautiful, well-maintained building. The staff is really friendly, and the care looks really good right now. The dining area is nice and very comfortable, the food is good, and the serving staff is wonderful. They have cards, entertainment, daily exercise, buses that go out for scenic drives once a week, as well as medical appointments and shopping opportunities, contests between the residents for Christmas decorations, and special dinners for Thanksgiving and Christmas, which families are invited to, so that's nice.

Brookdale Foundation House didn't have the potential for memory care. The place itself looked beautiful, well-maintained, and lovely. The food was good and the dining area was really comfortable and large enough to hold the whole facilities and residents as well as a pretty good number of residents.
