Patriots Landing

Look no further for a memory care unit! A few years ago we toured several assisted living facilities in Snohomish, King, Pierce and Thurston Counties that also had memory care units anticipating moms need to transition at some point. As a RN I was very particular as to the type of facility I would help mom transition to from her home. Many facilities we toured were upgraded in the lobbies and public areas but the resident rooms/apts were dated and/ or dingy and in need of upgrades. Staff was hard to find, environmental stimulation void with activity areas lacking any thought or detail to needs of this population. Many times it was a large TV in their”activity center” nothing indicated it was the activity center.

We decided Patriots Landing was most appropriate and mom moved into the assisted living. As both the care team and our family witnessed the decline in mom after a few years in assisted living, there was the need for a new environment, we moved her into Liberty Lane (the memory care unit). If you visit you will find the staff engaging with the residence throughout the day. The unit staff are passionate about the quality of care they provide as well as planning activities throughout the day (including weekends) in order to meet the individual needs of each resident. Some are able to participate more than others but the staff develop a care plan based on the individual needs . The director of nurses loves spending time with these residents very hands on, often participating in care despite her many other responsibilities.

Since moving into Liberty Lane our mom has thrived and we have seen the improvement emotionally and cognitively due to the environmental and activity stimulation. Yes her memory continues to decline but I do believe had she stayed in assisted living she would not be doing nearly as well. In the later part of her stay in assisted living she was becoming more withdrawn, isolated and due to memory loss and safety issues around use of microwave plus general activities of daily living she needed to transition to memory care. She has her own large studio that is modern and very well maintained. She looks forward to the activities and meal times visiting with her friends, getting her hair done and going to church.

Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s about twelve years ago and I would never have dreamt that she would be doing so very well at this point in her Alzheimer’s journey. My heartfelt thanks to each and everyone in Liberty Lane from the housekeepers, ancillary staff that does her laundry , activities team that create fun and new activities week to week, caregivers and skilled nursing staff, and to the transportation team that takes the residence for their joy rides. Everyone plays an equally important role in making a difference in the lives of mom and all the other residence. Really look no further! Lin

As of this date (11/11/22)our main contact at Patriots Landing has been Mylene Robert's. She has impressed us with her professional demeanor and her effort to provide us with information to go through the process of making Patriots Landing our new home. We are eager and ready to move in today. My mother, Maria Paras, made her home at Patriots Landing for eight happy years.

I'm Army veteran and the appreciation they show to service is palpable when you go through the door. I never got my Grandfather in but was able to participate in some community events and would move love to move in myself if I was retired. Even though we never moved my grandfather in they were always a great welcoming resource to us.
