This past summer we had to make the difficult decision to move my 91 year old Mom into assisted living. After touring six local communities, we were thrilled to find Mountlake Terrace Plaza. The buildings and apartments are updated, spotless and spacious. The professional, caring staff made my Mom and our family immediately feel at home. The chef is amazing and her menu varied and delicious. From our experience with the many fun activities, excellent food, loving staff and clean and safe environment, I would highly recommend Mountlake Terrace Plaza as a wonderful assisted living community for the senior in your life!

My Mom was here for several years and it was a very nice experience for all of us. Be aware if your relative becomes "difficult" this will be a deal breaker for The Plaza. Mom was not a barrel of laughs , to be sure , but if your beginning to notice even the beginnings of Dementia this will not be a long lasting experience so I would look for the next step in care at first. On the other hand if your relative IS a very sweet, kindly, easy to get along with person in spite of memory loss etc. you may very well not have to move. In other words my mom was always a pleasantly opinionated person and she became an UNpleasantly opinionated one. She was treating people she didn't care for badly and at first it was one or two and as she got older it was only one or two she even liked and I was NOT one of them. They have wonderful people here and so many things to do. Some days I wish I could move in myself.

We moved my In-Laws there in May 2012. We wanted them closer to us and in a facility that offered a nice environment, activities, good food and a safe location. Wow did we strike it rich. They have been so happy there. Although Dad passed away in 2016, Mom still has so many friends for support and the staff are like family always calling us by name and notifying us if they think something is unusual with her. We have extra care for walking to and from meals and with bathing and that is a huge comfort to us. The renovations are amazing as well. We have had two other friends visit Mountlake Plaza for their parents and both moved in. The office and front desk staff, care givers, activity team and the dining room staff are all friendly and well trained. It gets 5 stars in our book!

My folks lived here for almost two years. The people are nice and do a good job with projects and activities to keep people active. Now that they are updating the units is will be better too.
