I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother is very happy at University House. The staff are all very attentive, friendly, and responsive. The administration, social director, maintenance, waitstaff...everyone is so nice and seems to genuinely care about the residents and their families. There are always activities available to engage your mind, move your body, and interact with other residents. My mom plays bridge, poker, and/or mahjong multiple times each week. The food is very good and the chef and waitstaff are very accommodating. The rooms are…

Review for University House Issaquah

It really is a good place, very well run, with caring, hard-working employees and friendly residents who go out of their way to be kind and supportive. The number and diversity of activities and outings are fabulous. My mom has now been there two years and is happily planning to stay.

I am/was a resident of this facility

We have been residents for over a year now and University House is living up to all our expectations. As with others we were a little skeptical at first about giving up our house and going into this type of facility but let us tell you: Being served meals at the restaurant daily, having our apartment cleaned, bedding and linens changed, planned activities and trips on a daily basis, entertainment and lectures at the facility and making new friends makes us feel we should have done this sooner.

Review for University House Issaquah

The amenities here are excellent ie weekly presentations and other. Very pleased with the Wellness center and their care of [name removed]. The food has slipped from when we first came. Soup is really good but some of specials are lacking

University House Issaquah

I have found the facility to have a very nice environment - spaces to play games, puzzles, or read a book. A nice dining room, library. Caring staff. Some months the activity schedule is lacking but they do a lot of fun things - trips to restaurants, theater. Have nice events at facility - bingo, happy hours, lots of music, talks on different topics.

My mom is thriving

I am thrilled with the decision to move my mom to University House. The staff is fabulous, the front desk is staffed 24/7, I love that they integrate the assisted and independent residents — it brings energy to the environment. The food is fabulous and the rooms are larger that most other facilities. The community fee was also reasonable. Having a doctor that comes to my mom’s room is also a bonus. Dining room is fabulous with a great staff Consierge that seats residents with others based on preferences. My mom wen…
