Specialized Memory Care and Support for Seniors

My husband received really great care at Cogir of Bothell Memory Care. I was so happy with how they cared about their residents.

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.
