Cogir of Vancouver Senior Living

Amazing! So pleased with the entire staff.

The quality of care is professional and compassionate.

Cogir of Vancouver Senior Living is wonderful. For me and my experience with my mom, it's been everything we were looking for. She's well taken care of, they pay attention to her, it's clean, and they help her when necessary. They make sure to call and keep me abreast with things.

We chose Cogir of Vancouver because the price was good and they had availability at the time we needed it. The apartment sizes are great for what he needs. He really enjoys the food that they serve. The cleanliness of the facility is great and the people are wonderful, they are always willing to help out. I would recommend to others looking

My wife and I have experienced both independent and assisted living here, all without changing apartments. In eight years, we have seen four different owners. Cogir is the best, by far. They have changed the atmosphere of the place for better. They invested hundreds of thousand dollars in carpets, hardwood flooring, appliances, theatre upgrade and appearance of public areas and apartments, all while holding rent increases to less than 4% per year Residents enjoy excellent meals with anytime breakfast and dining, friendly order taking and serving, choice of FIVE daily entrees, and numerous drink choices. No extra food charges. Take-home containers freely available. Happy Hour twice weekly with drinks, snacks and quality entertainment. With less than a hundred residents, it is easily possible to make friends and see one another almost daily. Staff is relatively stable, skilled and caring with a conscious effort to know you by name and learn your special needs. Highly Recommended.

I would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. It is a pretty, clean, and updated community. The staff are wonderful. I feel great with the security. It is kept up beautifully. The food is some of the best I've ever had. The one improvement the community could improve on, is offering an ambassador to assist new residents.

Outdated facility. The director had to give our tour and she was Unprepared and unprofessional. Not very pleasant.

I would tell others I was so in love with the community. It is very pretty here, the flowers are in bloom. I’m happy with the food. The people here are very, very nice. They have cottages and a tower. The cottages feels like you are in your own home. The cottages are 1500 square feet. Housekeeping is included, however, they don't clean the blinds. Some of the residents have hired outside cleaning agencies to keep their cottages clean.

My advice to others isn't specific to Cogir at all, but I would just say consider everything before you go down a certain path. I'm not sure I would do things the same way again now as when we first decided. I have two loved ones with very different health needs. One is in pretty bad shape, and the other doesn't really need any care. And looking back, we would have pursued a different avenue for them to be together since she's very unhappy being in a facility. It's nothing to do with Cogir itself or the staff. She just doesn't want her husband to die there and wishes they could both go back home. I think overall Cogir has been fine. The staff have been very helpful. The sales manager spent a lot of time with me and was very helpful in the move-in process. I would say read carefully what you're signing, especially regarding costs. And realize that costs can increase when care needs change. I understand that they're a business. And I suppose even if we had known certain details up front, we still would have signed the contract. I have no reason to believe what they're doing is different from any other place. I think they have good owners and genuinely want to provide good service.

The community is very clean and they have really kept the community clean to combat covid. The food is very good and we are able to eat with our loved one in her room. They have started activities back up and they have a list of activities daily. They have multiple levels of care so they offer independent, assisted, and memory care. I like the layout of the community and we like the safety of the community also. I would recommend this community to others.

Our experience has been good so far, the community is in the right location. The staff members are very good and really take great care of our loved one. Our loved one is in the memory care unit so there are not to many activities going on, but we are not displeased with the value.

We chose Cogir of Vancouver because of the sales manager I talked to, he really worked with us and was fantastic. He was very understanding and laid it all out on the table. The room sizes here were great, it was a very nice 2 bedroom. They sent out newsletters to my parents, but I got very little communication and I wish that I would have gotten more. The food was really good here, my dad loved them. They were very strong on their covid protocols. Had everybody else been as positive and upbeat as the sales manager, I would definitely recommend but we did have some issues that never got resolved so I am on the fence due to covid.

[name removed] was very helpful and provided a great deal of information not only about Cogir but about memory care in general. Cogir memory care seems neat, clean, active, focused and is a comfortable size. Will stay on our list for when we get to the point of choosing a facility.

My MIL lived here during the transition from Brookdale to Cogir. I (and she) saw firsthand the downgrades in services, quality of food, and reduced staffing and activities. The focus was on outward appearance and bottom line. It's a small community, and yet after 1.5 years there the ED and head nurse didn't even know who she was, even though she was well liked by staff and residents. They were happy to charge for add'l services, but it was impossible to get anyone to respond to questions and concerns about those charges. When she died (in her apt. at the facility), I received no communication, assistance, not even an "I'm sorry for your loss," from the management or staff. Not even a "here's what needs to happen now" communication. I was honestly appalled by the overt lack of caring. Guess she really was just a monthly check to them.

The sales person was very nice, the food was good. However, the living space was VERY small. The area was a distance from community activities.

My father was neglected and abused here (the Memory Care unit was chronically under-staffed and unable to provide the necessary services they promised -- like nutrition, hydration, personal hygiene, or social interaction). Dad nearly died there two years ago. Today we celebrated his 88th birthday, which he would never have lived to see if he had stayed at Brookdale. See 2016 citation at Washington State's Department of Social and Health Services (Intake [removed]).

I like that this is a smaller community and the people here are patient and understanding. I saw negative review before I moved in but it went through a change of staff and has shown some improvements. I have a 1 bdrm cottage with a small patio and my own garage. The food is excellent. They will engage me to join in the daily activities. The staff have done well and made me feel welcomed.
