Village Concepts of Burien - El Dorado West

I want to commend the management team and staff for taking such good care of me. Everyone was so nice and helpful that it made me feel right at home. Should you or a family member ever have a need, for assisted living or long term care, this would be the place I highly recommend. I did my research, checking nearly a dozen places out. I looked at the overall cost, type of care offered and community lifestyle. El Dorado West came out at my top three best facilities to go to.So do your research and trust me when I say you won't be disappointed in knowing you found the right place for yourself or your loved one. Save yourself some time and ask first for Malory. She's the go to person! She's nice and knows how everything works.

I Frequent the Salon (Hair by Lani) that is located in this facility. By doing so I am able to see events that are going on or even events coming up. For instance, I brought my three year old over for Halloween and residents were giving away candy to all the kids. Such a nice thing to have them do. Smiles on both ends and all around. I’ve seen them do paint night as well. I guess what I’m getting at is I love that this place has a lot of fun events planned for its residents. Makes me wish I could move in myself just to join in on all the fun ha-ha!

My mother in law has been in the memory care unit for almost a year now. We have been pleased, for the most part. Between my mom and my mother in law, they have been at 5 senior living places, so I have some perspective. You cannot expect the same care as a 8k/mo place for 4k. If you can afford it, go to Aegis. But money doesn't buy everything, and for a moderately priced place, I think they do a great job.
Every concern we have had boils down to communication issues with the staff, and I hope the new memory care director will tighten that up. The memory unit could use more creativity with activities but the staff is very caring.
Reading the other reviews, I agree that the food has not been good until recently. They hired a new chef and we noticed the change immediately. The menu is the same but there are fresher ingredients, cooked with care and seasoned really well. The residents are all really excited about the change.
I have recommended this place to others and would not hesitate to do so again.
