Bonaventure of Lacey is a beautiful and serene retirement living, assisted living, and memory care community, located near the Chehalis Western Trail and Indian Summer Golf and Country Club.
Both of my parents lived here for over a year from 2020 to 2021. We just got a mailing today saying we should check them out ourselves which resurrected emotions from my parents experiences there (both of them are now passed). The sales people there were excellent in convincing you of their services. It all sounded great. But then when they lived there it was a different reality. Let me sum up their experience by telling you the outcomes. My mom lived for awhile in the memory care unit until we moved her out after being attacked by another resident. My father fell in his bathroom breaking his neck and wasn’t found for hours despite using their call system for help. We found out later from a neighbor that the room’s alarm hadn’t worked in years and the management refused to fix it.
If we were vindictive we would have sued them as there was clear I competence involved by management. But that wouldn’t have relieved my fathers injury or nightmares from being left alone all that time unable to move. If you are wondering about the food…here’s an example…one thanksgiving dinner they served pressed turkey, hardly edible. The only positives are the relative room sizes and general facility and location. Also I think the regular service staff try hard. But their senior management never lasted long and didn’t seem to really care about the residents so we suspected the issues stemmed from poor management. Keep in mind this was still during the heart of COVID so I’m sure that was a factor. During some of that time they tried to keep people safe by delivering food to he rooms however it was often cold and very late by the time it was delivered. So take what you will from this…it’s been a couple of years so it may have drastically changed. But I’d suggest talking to residents before you commit to make sure it really has changed and don’t rely on potentially empty promises by management.
The residents are very friendly. The food is to be desired. Corporate should have a larger budget for quality food and quality help.
My Mom recently moved in and absolutely Loves her new cute apartment. I am so happy she is here it makes my heart full.
