Review for University House Issaquah

It really is a good place, very well run, with caring, hard-working employees and friendly residents who go out of their way to be kind and supportive. The number and diversity of activities and outings are fabulous. My mom has now been there two years and is happily planning to stay.

University House Issaquah

I have found the facility to have a very nice environment - spaces to play games, puzzles, or read a book. A nice dining room, library. Caring staff. Some months the activity schedule is lacking but they do a lot of fun things - trips to restaurants, theater. Have nice events at facility - bingo, happy hours, lots of music, talks on different topics.

My mom is thriving

I am thrilled with the decision to move my mom to University House. The staff is fabulous, the front desk is staffed 24/7, I love that they integrate the assisted and independent residents — it brings energy to the environment. The food is fabulous and the rooms are larger that most other facilities. The community fee was also reasonable. Having a doctor that comes to my mom’s room is also a bonus. Dining room is fabulous with a great staff Consierge that seats residents with others based on preferences. My mom wen

Overall, my parents are happy to be there and speak highly of the staff.

I CANNOT IMAGINE A STAFF BEING ANYWHERE NEAR AS CARING, CREATIVE, FRIENDLY, AND CONCERNED FOR THE WELL BEING OF US RESIDENTS. The apartments are offered in variety of sizes and layouts. They are clean, in nice shape, and have good natural light. However, the bedrooms are tiny and "full" kitchens have no dishwashers or garbage disposals and have older electric stoves. Some of the more disappointing aspects of this place involve the food and food service (both are decent but inconsistent) and the shuttle bus (old a
