Cogir of Bothell Memory Care

My mother was there 19 months. I was great in the beginning. Last month I visited and she had gotten an infection on her feet. They treated it with neosporin. My mom only knew that it hurt. I'm glad I found it. I took her to ER and ER said she had gangrene and cellulitis. The director Laurel, lied to my family multiple times. Every person I have shown the picture of my mother's foot has gasped and said, "I hope you are suing them for neglect!"

Sunrise of Bothell has become my extended family. They have been amazing at helping my mother acclimate to her new surroundings this past month and they’ve done it with care and understanding. They always answer the dozens of questions I have for them and always say to call any time. Everyone is friendly and kind and are great listeners. Their activities are both plentiful and well rounded. I deeply appreciate the work they do to keep my mother and all residents there safe and happy. I don’t know what I or my mother would do without them :-) Thank you, Sunrise!

My father, who suffered from Alzheimer's Disease, lived at Sunrise of Bothell for the last 18 months of his life. I am so thankful that we found this community. Everyone at this facility, and I mean everyone, was kind, caring, and professional. Caring for those with advanced dementia is a tough job, but the staff at Sunrise of Bothell really excels at providing a safe, loving, and upbeat atmosphere. Not only could I tell how content my father was, but I also enjoyed visiting because the entire staff helped to create a positive and inviting atmosphere. The activity staff is great at keeping the residents interested and engaged, and the activities I observed were frequently full of laughter, and even joy. The chef and his staff are also very good. My father actually gained weight once he moved in. On occasion, I sampled his meals and was always impressed. The caregivers are marvelous. They were always patient and knew just what to do when someone became anxious or agitated. I was so impressed with how quickly and lovingly they could calm an upset resident. I never saw any of the caregivers treating the residents with anything other than respect and affection, and I always felt that they truly cared about my father. The rest of the staff is wonderful too: the folks at the front desk, the nurses, the maintenance staff, and the administrators. The facility is clean and well cared for, with recently renovated common rooms that are nicely decorated, giving an upscale and cheerful feel. In short, I can't say enough good things about Sunrise. It gave me so much peace of mind to know my father was being well cared for. Although we paid more at Sunrise than we did my father’s previous facility, it was worth every penny.

My mom has only been living here now for just two weeks but I can not believe the transformation. She is like a new person. Before coming her she was living alone and I believe she slowly began to slip into isolation and therefore dementia flourished. At Sunrise they engage the residents constantly. After just a few minutes of observation you can tell that all of the staff really care for the residents and have been professionally trained on how to treat them. They also produce a monthly calendar that is chock full of daily activities. They even have several outdoor trips each week as well. I have joined my mom occasionally for meals and everything was really good and fresh. I did a lot of research before deciding on this "new' home for my mom. They are not the cheapest but also not the most expensive. It is well worth checking out if you are in need of a place for someone requiring memory care.
