It's going pretty good. The accommodations are pretty good. There isn't any air conditioning, or wi-fi on the third floor. The people are very nice. The people who work here are very professional. We have barbecue cookouts twice a week. They made it easy to move in, I slid right in.

South Pointe Assisted Living in Everett, WA

5.0
My mom was here for several years and really enjoyed the other residents and the staff. It's a really small community, the smallest I've ever seen, and it's all on one level so it was easy for her to get around with her walker. Great for someone looking for a warm, family-like environment.
