Where's the insulin?
We had an unfortunately terrible experience with Alpine. They could not regulate my mom's blood sugar levels. She is Type 1 diabetic and they were using insulin pens. Her BS count was going through the roof, 600+ on several occasions. Midnight calls to the ER, Alpine not wanting to take her back. It was a nightmare. The thing is she wasn't eating anything, no breakfast, more insulin, no lunch, more insulin, no dinner more insulin, then to ER. I know, I was there. What is SO PUZZLING, is that they were able to regulate her BS at Mason Hospital several times, They were able to regulate her BS at Madigan Hospital both times. And now they have been able to regulate her BS levels for over a month now at Woodland, using the very same insulin pens. So you have to ask yourself the obvious... Why was my mom not getting her insulin at Alpine? She clearly regulates when the insulin get into her bloodstream. It had to be a procedural issue using the pens. What other explanation is there?

Our Experience
The food at Alpine Way was awful. My loved one basically sat in her chair and stared at four walls and the tv. They did have music once a week. No visitors. Her caregivers [names removed] were fabulous. My loved one passed away on the 3rd day of the month. The facility charged me until the middle of the month, which was BS. The main front desk person had no personality and basically ignored us when we came in. My loved one's carpet was filthy and they did a lousy job of cleaning her room. The staff never visited with her. She needed dental work and they were no help. The grounds weren't very well taken care of and they seemed to be short staffed a great deal.

Lots of activities are offered. And the surroundings are very pleasant & tucked away with lots of trees. Close to a Fred Meyer & a Walmart. They have a van that takes them shopping. My mom loves her apartment.

Alpine Way Continuing Care Community review
The best part of Alpine Way are the care givers - they have been so great with our loved one. Overall we have pretty pleased, there are some areas of improvement. The meals are sometimes served cold and there is not much of a selection. Our loved one can't physically participate in the activities, but we do wish they staff would get our loved one out of her room just to at least watch the activities. However the place itself is lovely, and the staff are very friendly.

Pros & Cons of Alpine Way - Do Your Homework
The Director of Sales & Marketing was the best staff member at the facility and made the move-in experience extremely positive and she communicated proactively in all aspects. My parents had a nice room, good food and a nice view from their room. Was a struggle dealing with Business Office Mgr. Ginger. My final invoice (after questioning the amount) magically came back to me at $900 less. I wonder how this may affect other elderly people’s payments or executor’s payments - who may not carefully analyze their invoices The executor for my step Dad also had serious issues with lack of follow up from Biz Mgr. (calling 4-5 times before a return call came). He also experienced her condescending attitude. The executor’s feedback to me was “Alpine’s #1 priority is collecting money, keeping us confused - and making sure we know that a late payment will cost you $150.” Tried to submit complaint to the Better Business Bureau, but Cascade Living Group is not BBB Member, nor accredited by BBB.

Our Family's Experience
Quality of care was 3 stars - They appeared to be understaffed but again I don't have anything to compare to. Mom fell frequently due to her impatience to wait for assistance, complicated by her dementia. I think they could have checked more frequently on her, especially once they realized her "independent" streak. They wouldn't allow us to use some of the tools we used at home to alert us when she tried to get up on her own. I think they tried, but her multiple falls were very distressing to the family. Value of cost. - our best guess was 4 stars. We didn't really have other options in our town for their services, so again nothing to compare them to. Mom wasn't very interested in the food, but that was probably more her than what they offered. The menus sounded good, but due to Covid restrictions, family wasn't able to join mom for meals. They offered lots of options but mom wasn't interested. They tried, as did the family, to get mom involved. She did attend a few activities. Mom entered Alpine for Hospice care and lived there less than a month. The services they provided met a need that our family wasn't able to provide, and we do greatly appreciate that. The staff did seem to care for mom. After being her caregiver for several years, I did have my times of frustration feeling like they should be more attentive .

Like having an extended family
This facility is great, it's like having an extended family. They've become an extended part of our village. My mom is so well cared for here. I'm grateful to have such a wonderful place so close to home and within our community for her. Communication with the family is great, cleanliness is great. I couldn't have asked for a better fit. Our church even hosts the resident worship services here also, which is great.

A Great Place
The people are fantastic. Mom is very happy there. We are struggling a bit with food, and I think part of it has to do with Covid and staffing. My mom is a diabetic and needs a special diet, but they're doing everything they can to accommodate her. And they are just wonderful people.

The Right Choice
This was my first "tour" of a full-option facility and I was really impressed by the cleanliness of the facility and the friendliness of the staff at all levels. Kathy spent 2 hours giving us the full tour of options - from retirement living to assisted living to memory care. In all wings, the level of care was top notch. 4 different dining rooms! 24-hour nursing staff! and lots of activity options. They even allow pets. They have many room and care options with reasonable pricing. I am looking forward to taking my Dad there for lunch tomorrow.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Washington regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Washington regulations for Assisted Living.
