Riverside East

I visited this facility

I had nothing but positive feelings about Riverside East. I toured for independent living, and it's a small complex. They mentioned they only have 50 people, which surprised me. I couldn't tell how big it was at first, but I was able to find parking underground or just under cover. It's a smaller community, and I like the location. Right now, it's in my top five. It's not in a hectic area, it's really close to shopping, and it's kind of right along what they call The Sammamish Riv…

Staff are wonderful and make you feel at home and cared for. There are always activities planned and have a large turn out of residents at each activity. Food is good and the place is odor free and clean. It would be nice if they would redecorate the interior, as it does not do Riverside East justice. It's a little out dated and as I look back, was almost why we didnt choose to move here, but happy we did!

I currently live in the Bothell building, I want to say if you are looking for a place for your family member, I'd kep looking. This facility rarely has any activities, most resident are bored and lonely. THey have such a high turnover of staff its seems like there is always a new face to learn. The manager does not know what he is doing and seems to have a rather short temper. He has no people skills outside of getting you to sgin on the dotted line. If I could move I would.

Riverside East was an older place for people who don't have any money at all. The parking is miserable. It's dark. It has its niche that it serves it very well, but it's not a place where most people would want to live. Residents do their own cooking. The one-bedroom is what I was looking at. The price included nothing. You have to pay for the heat and everything. It had electric baseboards, so your electric bill is going to be high.

The experience with Riverside was positive but we felt it was too far for visiting. I would recommend it to families in the Bothell area.

Riverside East was nice but busy, so one of my concerns is the medical service they can provide. One advantage is that they’re near the senior center. Bothell is growing like crazy and developing into a greater attraction, so they have a lot of cultural things as well as more restaurants. The staff was open, forthright, and friendly. They have the usual standard activities such as chess and checkers, card games, occasional lectures, and groups that get together for cocktail hour once or twice a month. The place has…
