Classy Retreat Adult Family Home

My aunt lives here and I went to visit her for the first time. The staff is so friendly and attentive to the residents. It is beautifully directed and feels like home, not an institution. I was very impressed. This place changed my opinion of adult care homes.

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. Tanya and her team truly deserve all the praise they can get. I cannot stress enough how much of a lifesaver Tanya was during a difficult time in my life. My mom had been staying at an Assisted Living facility after a surgery that did not go as planned, and the care she was receiving at home was no longer sufficient. With my sister and I living in Seattle and working full-time, it was challenging to provide in-home care for our mother from afar. Respecting our moms wishes was important to us, as she had no interest in relocating to Seattle. Thankfully, Tanya came to our aid as a guardian angel precisely when we needed her most. It was a challenging time for everyone when my mom was in an Assisted Living facility during the Covid outbreak. She wasn't getting the one-on-one care she required, and it was tough for patients, family members, and caregivers, as well as the staff at the facility. Luckily, my mom's hospice nurse recommended Tanya, and I contacted her right away. Within 24 hours, she arrived at the facility and assessed my mom's needs to see if Classy Retreat would be a good fit for her. It was a blessing since Tanya's Adult Family Home is renowned for providing exceptional care, and openings are rare. Within days, Tanya moved my mom out of the Assisted Living facility and into her Adult Family Home. Despite Covid-related restrictions and me being far away, Tanya and her team took care of everything! Classy Retreat is a beautiful, warm, and inviting home. My Mom's room overlooked the serene backyard and was tailored to her needs. Thanks to the exceptional care from Tanya and her team, all of whom are nurses, my moms health even improved during her stay. They provided her with professional and personalized one-on-one care, treating her like a cherished family member. Every time we visited, we were greeted with open arms, and the caregivers always ensured our comfort. My Mom was always well-cared for, content, and stress-free while living there, and she passed away peacefully and quickly while at Classy Retreat. I am forever grateful for the level of respect and care that Tanya and her team provided my mom, even after her passing, which brings me to tears every time I think about it. Before my mom lived in an Adult Family Home, I was skeptical about their benefits. However, finding the right one proved to be crucial. As a long-distance caregiver, I cannot emphasize enough the relief and peace of mind I experienced knowing that my Mom was receiving the best possible care. If anyone is interested, I would be more than happy to share my exceptional experience with them.

If I could give this place a NO STAR, I would. I was employed by this employer for a short time. In that time I experienced two of her and her husband's homes. They make a very good income of these Clients and they feed them very cheaply. And they don't give them big enough portions. The owner tried to tip me off on my paychecks. I was not paying attention to my check stubs a d realized that in the middle of me being employed there, she cut my pay. I told her that if she did not give me my money that she owed me, I would be calling the BBB and L&I. I started receiving checks ( hold on to you hats, EVERYONE) from her in the amount of .75, 1.35, 4.73, etc....... . What a penny-pincher! Her income is in the THOUSANDS with her homes and she thinks it's okay to cheat an employee out of her rightful earnings! Absolutely no INTEGRITY! How you can do that to your Clients and Employees is beyond me. Here is a good example of a person without a CONSCIENCE. This field of caregiving has been an emotional draining and psychological abusing aspect I have ever gone through. Usually it is never the Clients that is the problem. It is always the STAFF, MANAGER AND/OR OWNER. I will always believe in the saying that "you get what you give in life". I, myself.....can look in the mirror and know that I have never wronged and/or stolen from someone. I feel good about that I am a decent, hard-working individual. I guess when others who are the opposite of me get jealous because of what I "give off" on a daily basis of being good, honest and decent. Not my problem! Everyone on this planet has a choice. You either have morals or you don't. You choose to live like that. Shame on any or all ADULT FAMILY HOME owners who choose to cut corners at the expense of their CLIENTS! These precious people deserve the best in their final years. In my time in this field, I have seen a very small amount of ADHOMES that were decent. HEARTBREAKING AND PATHETIC! To all the mistreated CLIENTS who are still with us or have passed......"may you always be loved and cared for. In the end, you will experience a wonderful transition......you will be in the ARMS OF OUR LORD. No more tears, no more suffering, no more feeling unloved. God bless you all!"
