About Brookdale Olympia West

Discover innovation and a new way of living life on your terms at Brookdale Olympia West. Here, residents receive personalized memory care programming, as well as a helping hand with medication management, daily housekeeping, meals, and more. Trained staff members provide person-centered care to residents with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. The community’s Clare Bridge program, for example, helps individuals focus on sustaining feelings of belonging, purpose, and safety, while preserving their sense of self. Around six activities are planned and incorporated into residents daily lives, and include a variety of cognitive and physical workouts. The Solace program adds an additional layer of programming to the Clare Bridge process and provides additional time for grooming, as well as sensory activities filled with music and aromatherapy. Music is a vibrant part of community life, and special touches like sing-alongs, music in the hallways, and church hymns are prevalent. Residents and families can rest easy knowing professional staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency. A 24-hour security system and keypad entries are also in place to further promote safety. Additionally, staff members are trained to use techniques like physical prompting and cueing to help residents maintain their independence and develop understanding. Lastly, residents are given consistent care assignments throughout their stay. This allows them to be cared for by the same associate, which encourages familiarity and a foundation for long-term relationships.

The facility and staff that I met with were wonderfully kind and professional. The facility itself was 5 Star fantastic! The only issue I had was actually with A Place for Mom and not Brookdale. I was very clear regarding the monthly cost my loved one could afford and yet I was referred to Brookdale which is clearly above that threshold. Not helpful!

Room to improve

[name removed] the sales person is absolutely fantastic very responsive. Very helpful. Always available even when not on site Staff turnover is huge -- communication is lacking. Consistant questions must take place. Reminders and followup is necessary-- expensive for the type of care needed vs care received. I had to follow up to get information. Not forthcoming with info ... I realize it's a memory care facility but to blame everything on the patient is very disheartening. [name removed] the head nurse is overw

Warm and welcoming

When you walk into the facility it's bright and welcoming. It's always decorated for the different seasons. I'm impressed with the cleanliness of the facility. When I brought my mom in for assessment, the gentleman performing the test was extremely difficult to understand. English is not his native language and his accent is challenging to understand.

Things to know

Negative would be lack of communication. I don't get updated on anything and have had a hard time getting responses when I reach out regarding specific things. Positive would be activities available. My dad hasn't really participated but the residents I've seen while visiting seem to enjoy it.
