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 dad is loving his experience at University House! The staff has been so accommodating: driving him to needed appointments, outings and helping with medications. The room is spacious, excellent food and many opportunities to participate in excursions off-site or workshops on site. So grateful we made the move from Aegis to University House.

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.

So today I pick up a batch going to this place, I drove literally 35min from Redmond to Issaquah only to see that once I had delivered their items they went and changed the amount of the tip they offered, we work on tips so driving 30min only to have them switch and give me $4 was a kick in the stomach. You should have just been honest and offered the exact tip you were really willing to pay instead of changing it once you got you delivery. It also got me thinking what else do they lie about especially since this place is a place for seniors, seniors are a very vulnerable population especially when they are in places like this.
