A warm welcome and happy faces

The facility is very clean with updated furniture, the staff has been very friendly and helpful and everyone there seems to be happy. Residents and staff. The grounds are beautiful and my mom has enjoyed walking outside. They also offer daily activities for socialization and weekly trips outside of the facility. Very positive experience.

Learning Experience

The staff were there for me every time I had a question or needed guidance for things for my father. I would recommend them. Cost was a very real issue with looking at facilities in the surrounding area. I will say like many places, they were experiencing some staff turnover/shortages. I haven't been there since July when my father passed. But for people who need the extra help and hands on they delivered.

Robust services needing more staff.

I have found overall that Alpine Way Continuing Cate Center has done a good to great job servicing my father. They need an additional driver to take residents to and from shooing but we are trying to make the Mon-Wed before 8-2pm work. Dad days the food is ok to good on some days and others not the best. They do have a menu of scheduled meals and an ala-carte menu.Staff have been really good and kind in my and my father's transition. For us this is an ongoing process, one I how will get better in time.

Where's the insulin?

We had an unfortunately terrible experience with Alpine. They could not regulate my mom's blood sugar levels. She is Type 1 diabetic and they were using insulin pens. Her BS count was going through the roof, 600+ on several occasions. Midnight calls to the ER, Alpine not wanting to take her back. It was a nightmare. The thing is she wasn't eating anything, no breakfast, more insulin, no lunch, more insulin, no dinner more insulin, then to ER. I know, I was there. What is SO PUZZLING, is that they were able to regu

Our Experience

The food at Alpine Way was awful. My loved one basically sat in her chair and stared at four walls and the tv. They did have music once a week. No visitors. Her caregivers [names removed] were fabulous. My loved one passed away on the 3rd day of the month. The facility charged me until the middle of the month, which was BS. The main front desk person had no personality and basically ignored us when we came in. My loved one's carpet was filthy and they did a lousy job of cleaning her room. The staff never visited wi

Happy with our choice.

Staff are great; they check on mom every day. People are friendly. Mom's apt has some cabinets that could use some attention. It's an older building but clean. Food seems to be good & varied. Lots of activities are offered. And the surroundings are very pleasant & tucked away with lots of trees. Close to a Fred Meyer & a Walmart. They have a van that takes them shopping. My mom loves her apartment.
