Finding joy at University House

Although Mom currently doesn't need any special care and is living independently so I can't really evaluate that. Mom occasionally says that the meal wasn't great, but overall pretty darned good. University House is an incredible place and Mom loves it there. Spectacular, intellectually stimulating activities, great art events (Mom was even one of 25 residents that worked with artists to create a visual biography of those residents and that exhibition is in view at UH right now. Really cool project.) The facility …

I visited this facility

I wanted to get a sense of the feeling of living in University House. My tour with Mike was very friendly and complete. It covered various choices of living quarters, dining plans, optional elective activities, health support, the building and grounds. I even met some of the residents. Needless to say, I was most impressed.

When people ask me what I like about living at UH, I immediately talk about the vibrant community that involves both residents and staff. University House provides a friendly, safe environment that includes extensive programming on all levels. I have lived here for 3 yeas and am continually impressed with the commitment by residents and staff to provide these amenities that so definitely enrich our lives.

Apartments are very well laid out, lots of light and storage. Common areas very well maintained. Food excellent with a good range of choices. Staff excellent, helpful and supportive. Many activities over a range of interests. Because of a strong connection with the University of Washington, many residents are intellectually active. Large library. Neighborhood is a mix of residential and small business, very walkable, good access to public transit.

Great choice for independent living. Good community size for finding a small group of like-minded individuals without being overwhelmed with too large a community or hampered with too small a community. A great retirement community to get involved in rather than just being a retirement facility to end your days in - it all depends on how you look at. Variety of activities for different interests. Good public transportation to get around and about on your own. Walkable neighborhood.
