About the facility
Alpine Way Continuing Care Community

Alpine Way Continuing Care Community is located just outside of Olympia in the town of Shelton, Washington — the westernmost city on the Puget Sound. The forested shores of the Oakland Bay are only a short distance away and make for a popular day-trip destination for many residents.

This community welcomes seniors aged 65 and older across a wide spectrum of care needs. It was built in 1990, updated to modern standards in 2000, and the apartment lodge houses over one hundred residents. Professionally monitored, personalized care packages and monthly assessments help ensure everyone here is cared for according to their ever-evolving needs. Alpine Way’s extensively experienced staff understands the care home field, takes pride in their work, and strives to make all spaces feel like home.

The exceptional grounds provide brilliant gardens blooming to vibrant seasonal colors and direct access to trails weaving through groves of all types of evergreens. This community is cozy and inviting, especially during Washington’s cold winters.

Lots of activities are offered. And the surroundings are very pleasant & tucked away with lots of trees. Close to a Fred Meyer & a Walmart. They have a van that takes them shopping. My mom loves her apartment.

My Dad liked Shelton WA because it was a small town and it had a Walmart. He liked a restaurant that has since gone out of business. He was only there for about a month and a half.

Alpine Way Continuing Care Community review
The best part of Alpine Way are the care givers - they have been so great with our loved one. Overall we have pretty pleased, there are some areas of improvement. The meals are sometimes served cold and there is not much of a selection. Our loved one can't physically participate in the activities, but we do wish they staff would get our loved one out of her room just to at least watch the activities. However the place itself is lovely, and the staff are very friendly.

Pros & Cons of Alpine Way - Do Your Homework
The Director of Sales & Marketing was the best staff member at the facility and made the move-in experience extremely positive and she communicated proactively in all aspects. My parents had a nice room, good food and a nice view from their room. Was a struggle dealing with Business Office Mgr. Ginger. My final invoice (after questioning the amount) magically came back to me at $900 less. I wonder how this may affect other elderly people’s payments or executor’s payments - who may not carefully analyze their invoices The executor for my step Dad also had serious issues with lack of follow up from Biz Mgr. (calling 4-5 times before a return call came). He also experienced her condescending attitude. The executor’s feedback to me was “Alpine’s #1 priority is collecting money, keeping us confused - and making sure we know that a late payment will cost you $150.” Tried to submit complaint to the Better Business Bureau, but Cascade Living Group is not BBB Member, nor accredited by BBB.

Our Family's Experience
Quality of care was 3 stars - They appeared to be understaffed but again I don't have anything to compare to. Mom fell frequently due to her impatience to wait for assistance, complicated by her dementia. I think they could have checked more frequently on her, especially once they realized her "independent" streak. They wouldn't allow us to use some of the tools we used at home to alert us when she tried to get up on her own. I think they tried, but her multiple falls were very distressing to the family. Value of cost. - our best guess was 4 stars. We didn't really have other options in our town for their services, so again nothing to compare them to. Mom wasn't very interested in the food, but that was probably more her than what they offered. The menus sounded good, but due to Covid restrictions, family wasn't able to join mom for meals. They offered lots of options but mom wasn't interested. They tried, as did the family, to get mom involved. She did attend a few activities. Mom entered Alpine for Hospice care and lived there less than a month. The services they provided met a need that our family wasn't able to provide, and we do greatly appreciate that. The staff did seem to care for mom. After being her caregiver for several years, I did have my times of frustration feeling like they should be more attentive .

Like having an extended family
This facility is great, it's like having an extended family. They've become an extended part of our village. My mom is so well cared for here. I'm grateful to have such a wonderful place so close to home and within our community for her. Communication with the family is great, cleanliness is great. I couldn't have asked for a better fit. Our church even hosts the resident worship services here also, which is great.

A Great Place
The people are fantastic. Mom is very happy there. We are struggling a bit with food, and I think part of it has to do with Covid and staffing. My mom is a diabetic and needs a special diet, but they're doing everything they can to accommodate her. And they are just wonderful people.

Brother-in-law not there very long but we were glad to have had him transferred from nursing home before he died. It made it so much better for my sister who was being given runaround by nursing home. Alpine recognized what was best for whole family & were assertive about making that happen.

The Right Choice
This was my first "tour" of a full-option facility and I was really impressed by the cleanliness of the facility and the friendliness of the staff at all levels. Kathy spent 2 hours giving us the full tour of options - from retirement living to assisted living to memory care. In all wings, the level of care was top notch. 4 different dining rooms! 24-hour nursing staff! and lots of activity options. They even allow pets. They have many room and care options with reasonable pricing. I am looking forward to taking my Dad there for lunch tomorrow.

We are happy with this!!
It's very clean and very nicely decorated. They seem to be concerned about her specific needs. They accommodate all requests. They go out of their way, to make sure that she is ok. They have been able to reduce her medications. It is well located everything is close by transportation is free of charge and pretty accessible. The place is clean and pretty. The food menu is versatile and appetizing is pretty good. Cathy herself is in a wheelchair, and is familiar with the needs of accessability, she was really helpful in helping to pick out the room that would be the easiest for our loved one to navigate.

A Real Home Environment
We moved our parents into Alpine Way retirement apartments, and they have found a real home there. The staff is always smiling and helpful and they really take good care of my parents. The apartment is just the right size as far as what they can easily take care of, and once a week cleaning staff come in and vacuum and tidy up. Help is always a few steps away if there is a problem - like a fall or any other issues. I visit them several times a week, and feel like there is a real net of support. I highly recommend!
