University House Issaquah has been an excellent place for my 95-year-old father to live. There is a surprising array of fascinating lectures and discussion groups, which keeps him intellectually stimulated and engaged. The staff is considerate and empathetic to the needs of the elderly. They make it a safe, caring, and hospitable environment. The dinners in the large dining room downstairs offer the residents the chance to mingle and socialize in a pleasant place. The building is clean, attractive, and up-to-date. I thoroughly recommend University House Issaquah.

My mother has been a resident here since 2016. Our family, and most importantly she, have been very happy with our choice! The staff are great, the facility is clean and well run, and there are many many activities each day to choose from. They recently renovated the hallways, which now look much more modern. The dining room is scheduled to be remodeled this summer. They struggled at times to find enough staff to do table service in the dining room (as did so many places) and had to revert to buffet, but in general the food is good and has lots of variety. When I joined her for dinner earlier this week, she introduced me to her "dear friend", who is 101 years old and looks and acts like an 85-year-old! I would not hesitate to recommend University House Issaquah if you have a senior loved one who is ready to move out of their house and can still live independently or with a moderate amount of caregiver needs.

Our family would like to send out a giant Thank You to University House’s Community Relations Director Dion Cole. As we started the family journey of finding a place for our mom’s next chapter about a year ago, we toured various communities on the east side. Mom was reluctant to leave her house, but it was time and best for her to be in an independent community. Our first meeting at UH was with Dion and meeting some of the staff. Dion’s kindness and compassion was what settled mom into entertaining moving into UH. After a second meeting with Dion, mom felt so welcomed to make the move to UH. Our family is very grateful that Dion and the rest of the UH family have embraced mom with open arms and made her transition enjoyable. She loves it there!

In 2019 my parents moved from their home of 60 years in California to University House Issaquah. My mother says every day how much she loves living there. We are all so happy they made the move. The staff are friendly, kind, caring and always willing to help. The apartments are lovely, spacious, quiet, and the safety features in place give us peace of mind. The landscaping is beautiful & meticulously kept. We were happy to discover that University House Issaquah offers something for everyone, and the entire staff do their best to meet the needs of the residents. Typically there are many activities offered such as lectures, movies, concerts, yoga and small group outings including to local stores. My parents have enjoyed the amenities including a dining room with excellent service, a salon, exercise room and a garden courtyard, just to name a few. Residents can participate & be active in the community, or just enjoy the peace & quiet and homey atmosphere. The University House Issaquah website gives a complete list and full description, if you select “Secondary Menu”. We highly recommend this location for senior living at its best.
