Mirabella Seattle

My experience at Mirabella has been wonderful. I have been in this facility now for four months recovering from a bad fracture of my leg. Both in the skilled nursing and on to the assistant care. Everyone from administration to all of the nurses and staff are exceptional. Their professionalism and care is the best. The facility is beautiful and the food is very good, healthy and good choices. They are also very safe with this pandemic we are in, a main reason I chose this facility. I would recommend Mirabella to anyone who is looking for a place for recovery and or a beautiful place for retirement.

My mom was at Mirabella twice over the past four months due to some unfortunate circumstances and Brooke Kastens (social worker) was my “go to” for everything I needed for my mom especially due to covid and the inability to visit my mom and help her directly. Clearly this was a particularly challenging time given family members could not be of any assistance to our loved ones. Brooke just took the reigns and was there to help with anything I needed for my mom. She was super Responsive and really went above and beyond. She clearly loves her job and it shows! Hats off to Brooke and the rest of your staff! They made a very difficult set of circumstances much more bearable!

We moved here on March 1 ,2019forsaking our apartments in Honolulu and in Ashland,Oregon. It was hard to give those places up , BUT we’re very glad we did. Mirabella is in the SouthLake Union area an interesting and walkable neighborhood. Our 1200 sq, ft two-bedroom East-facing apartment is light and quiet. We were provided with new appliances and floor covering when we moved in and the apartment was painted in colors we chose. The dinners served in the elegant lake-view dining room are excellent and amazingly varied and the service is super. For us athletic facilities were important and Mirabella has the best: salt water pool with four lanes and long enough to swim real laps plus two other smaller pools, an amazingly well-equipped weight room with air-pressure weights, tread mills rowing machine and stationary bikes. This equipment is used by enthusiastic residents , but we have never found the place over-crowded. We have not participated in the numerous classes or in water aerobics, but we know residents who think these classes are quite good. And finally the culture of Mirabella is welcoming and interesting. The building welcomes speakers on a wide variety of subjects, Osher Life Long Learning classes , and musical groups. There are numerous clubs and interest groups. The movie club shows two films a week ( open to all) one oldie and one current. Oh yes, and I have forgotten to mention the comfortable and well- stocked library: daily NYT, WSJ, and Seattle Times , various magazines and books on every subject which you just take out and return -no check out. A great plus here is that the resident director and the facilities director have an open-door policy . They are responsive to criticism. This is not a democracy or a condominium ; residents do not establish policy , but we see improvements made based on our suggestions. Anyway. It’s an all-round good place to hang out and enjoy being old.

The amenities are lovely the people are very nice here. Make no mistake if you are looking for strictly independent living, this is a first class FIVE STAR Facility. However, Do not choose this facility for your last residence (as the majority may) without a thorough look and tour of the second floor. For short-term rehabilitation purposes it seems to be above board. However, if you’re at the end of your twilight years from a terminal illness or other, you could be disappointed by the care you would expect. Waiting days to see a doctor with multiple reschedules, not delivering medication on time, if at all. Seems under staffed or just lazy? The “nurses” on many instances run like the staff at Home Depot if you have a question or concern. Just our experience with two loved ones. An opinion, nothing more. You will also need to get used to dealing with a very large Somali, most are nice some are very unhelpful, but that is expected to some extent of all people that may be fulfilling such job functions? You must judge as I will not. Many were kinder than the patients other could not have cared less. Take a tour of the second floor is my point in leaving.
