Singing Praises for Madison House

My parents never wanted to leave their own home, but it became increasingly obvious that they weren't able to take care of themselves after my father had a stroke. I toured Madison House and liked what I saw. After my parents moved in, I was even more impressed. My mother never had to cook again. She could make tea in the apartment, and there was always fresh fruit, but three meals a day were graciously served in the dining room. I cannot sing the praises of the staff as loudly as I would like. Everyone, from the…

Excellent Care

Both my parents have lived at Madison House for nearly 4 years. Throughout the pandemic the director of the facility and the president/CEO of Bainbridge Senior Living have done an excellent job communicating and keeping us informed of current safety protocols, ways to help us connect with our loved ones, and sharing pictures of their weekly activities. The staff offer a range of activities, events and outings to help residents stay active and enriched. Prior to the pandemic my young children would join their grandm…

Phenomenal staff, environment, and leadership

I had the opportunity to spend a few days at Madison House as a volunteer health care provider to help immunize residents against COVID-19. It's not possible to overstate the ways in which I was positively impacted by this experiences. To a one, the staff members were kind, respectful, and joyful with the residents. Every single staff member with whom I worked was professional, skilled, and caring. They know all the residents well, including individual preferences and backgrounds - and took the time that was needed…

Excellent Care for the Madison Avenue Residents during this time of Crisis

The Director and all the staff at the Madison Avenue House are doing a terrific job of keeping my Mother safe during this horrible coronavirus situation. I know they're working tirelessly day and night to do the right things for the health and safety of the residents, along with attending to the physical and emotional needs of the residents. While it is very difficult for the families to not see their loved ones as they usually do, it is comforting to know that they have good safe care. I have complete admiration f…

Seven Years at The MARC

Madison Avenue Retirement Center was a wonderful home for my father for seven years. The knowledgable staff consistently went above and beyond for his health and wellbeing. His food was varied, enjoyable, nutritious, and the highlight of his day. Courteous and caring, the dining room and kitchen staff made the MARC feel like home. This wonderful community embraced us as a family, and supported us through his final hours. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Great Place for Mom

We moved mom to the island from Olympia to be closer to family. We were very fortunate to have found a nice unit at The Madison Ave House. Mom gets great care and she really likes the food. She considers the staff family and she is treated as such. Mom considers the hair salon a nice bonus. I am able to visit frequently but I also appreciate the level and ease of communication with management and staff. Mom has been here about a year and a half and is very happy with her home. Plenty of activities inside and out. G…
