About Brookdale Federal Way

Putting More Life Into Assisted Living We think your senior living should have more life in it. Our residents take advantage of assisted living services located in scenic Federal Way, Washington. Our campus is in a lovely, quiet neighborhood just off Pacific Highway South in downtown Federal Way. Residents are able to walk to several stores close to our neighborhood, and we are a short drive to The Commons at Federal Way, a mall with many restaurants, shops, banks, and a movie theater. Become one of our residents and you'll have access to a huge range of interesting things to do, and interesting people to do them with. Our activities list changes every single day, with events like Bingo groups, weekly card games, and fitness groups. So when our residents aren't out enjoying all that our beautiful city has to offer, they're often enjoying in-house entertainment and activities. A few of our residents' favorites include: Game nights Exercise classes Scenic tours Church services Lunch outings Themed dinners and parties? As a resident here, you and your loved ones will also enjoy peace of mind, as we have emergency response available 24/7, along with 24-hour security. And unlike a nursing home, we are a community of apartment homes where residents can have the independence of a private home, in addition to whatever type of supportive aid they need to perform daily tasks and maintain health. That means you get all the health and wellness benefits but without the uncomfortable feeling of a nursing home. We provide a great backdrop for your great life, which we think will feel like home sweet home in no time. Life here means access to a variety of luxurious amenities for you to enjoy each day. Whether you're being pampered in your own barber or beauty shop, reading a great book in the library or enjoying a chat with a friend by the fireside, there's something for everyone here. If you're ready to see what a life with more options, fewer worries, and more ways to enjoy your life lived well, schedule a tour today.

Review for Brookdale Federal Way

Definitely would recommend to others. Everyone there is so helpful. Especially [name removed] she has helped us and guided us through everything. My mother-in-law is not easy to deal with but they are breaking through her shell. She is seeming to like it there now.

We had the best experience here. We are so excited to have our Mom be placed in this facility. The people here are so friendly and helpful. Everyone seems so happy to be there and work here. The accessibility is very good for our mom in the rooms. We give them five stars.

Great option for families needing help

The meals and dining gets a 3 based on parents feedback and the activities gets an na as parents not participating yet. We appreciate that there are trained people to help them at all times. Mom has mentioned some delays in response time. But she recognizes that the caretakers are helping a lot of people and can't be a multi places

Friendly staff

The room and toilet not clean for more than a week now. Boarding and lodging cost unreasonable for a elderly person with next to zero income. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families because they work with Medicaid. If private pay only, I wouldn't.

Critical

Not great for seniors with memory loss or low vision

My mom spent over two years here. She paid for shower assistance twice a week and meds management. She had severe short-term memory loss and was legally blind. Although kind, Brookdale staff, with a few exceptions, don't treat residents as unique individuals. They often don't read menus to blind residents. They skip showers for residents with memory loss who don't want one "right now", although the resident doesn't understand that their next chance won't be for 3-4 days. They often don't notice behavior changes tha

Our experience at Brookdale Federal Way

My loved one was a resident at Brookdale Federal Way for almost a year. The staff was very friendly, but the management with follow-through was terrible. I would not recommend this place for someone who needs to be checked up on frequently.
