Review for We are very pleased with our experience at GC

1. I'm very impressed with the GC staff, and the level of attention and genuine care they demonstrate with the residents. 2. The staff does their best to get participation in planned activities, but I don't envy the task. It's like trying to herd cats. 3. I'd rate the dining experience as good. From what I've seen, the menus are excellent. The atmosphere is about as good as it can get. While it's a great opportunity to encourage some social interaction between residents, I'm not sure that works, but I'm also not

Critical

Incredibly disappointed at how it all turned out

We were so disappointed when the care giving staff of Garden Courte did not inform us when my father's condition changed to "actively dying". They did call hospice, but did not feel the need to reach out to us. This meant that no one was present when my father passed away a few hours after the Garden Courte staff called hospice. I can't think of anything more important than having a care staff that will take the time to communicate with family during such a critical time. We visited on a daily basis, and felt so in

Just what we needed

Garden Courte Memory Care was one of three facilities in the greater Olympia area we looked into. All were very clean, consistent in Medicaid plans, and staff capabilities. The choice came down to the best fit in atmosphere, support, and cost. Garden Courte has been extremely helpful, open, accommodating, and consistent in communicating with me about my mother’s needs. The staff is excellent!

The place we needed

All 5's. It is a bit spendy, but they take great care of my Mom. A lot better than the previous ones! Very friendly staff, they call me whenever there is any kind of problem. Definitely feel like she is being cared for. She really likes all the staff, which is very important to me.

A caring home.

The staff is wonderful and tireless. I feel secure knowing [name removed] is enjoying a caring environment. The spouses of the residents are all supportive of each other, so we know we aren't alone on this journey.
