Nice community, friendly staff. Might not meet LTC facility requirements. If LTC not an issue, then I highly recommend.
Overall, my dad seems happy there. One issue we have come up against is that his LTC does not recognize Peninsula as a viable facility. As a result, we may need to move him out soon. I'm expecting details from his LTC carrier any day now.

Nice facility and community to move to when ready to downsize but still mostly want independent living.
When it comes to the quality of care we gave it that rating mostly because we thought staff there around the clock and maybe more attentive to potential medical needs to communicate to us but that was our assumption so didn't really check ahead of moving in. Our loved ones are pleased with meals, like the social aspect. Wish there was some flexibility in time for eating meals ( like getting breakfast 8- 10 am come as you are ready). They (mother- in- law) have just begun to start participating in some of the activities. For the value for cost, it still seems a little pricey and we are told rent goes up every year which is rough for those on a fixed income. But more reasonable than many of the others we looked at.

Very Pleasant Comfortable and Beautiful Place; but there is always room for improvement.
My mom loves it here! Especially her room that has cathedral ceilings and a balcony.
There is supposed to be a housekeeper coming in once a week, but that has not been happening due to their staffing retention. The food is good, but the portions could be bigger as my loved one does have to ask for seconds.
In regards to the staff; I did notice when touring, everyone was overly friendly and welcoming. But now that my mom has moved in, that vibe has changed with the people in the front office. When I walk in, I don't get greeted anymore. Moving into a community can be an overwhelming transition, so I do think that the staff should do a better job of making the residents feel at home. They should introduce the new residents who may not be as extroverted, my mom stayed in her room for a few weeks because of this. The first few weeks in a new community come with a lot of questions and confusion. I understand that there is information provided in pamphlets and paperwork, but when you're elderly, taking the time to read, comprehend and remember pages of information can be difficult. I do think the staff should up their customer service by making it a priority to show the residents around and personally introduce them to the other staff members (the chef, beautician, housekeeper, etc), as well as providing more emphasis on small details like when to be ready for the shuttle. Overall, they should be more patient with the elderly and with explaining things, as it can be a lot to take in.

Meals and dining services needs improvements
When we speak to our loved one they are pretty dissatisfied with the meals and dining service. There is a lack of variety and lack of healthy alternative choices. Also, when our loved one had to have food delivered to their room when they were sick, the meals were always wrong.

Senior Living Without Care Needs
There's a really big sense of community there. My loved one lived there for so many years. The residents all helped one another. They had a lot of activities that he enjoyed doing, including sports competitions where they competed against nearby facilities. The only reason we moved out was because he was losing his vision and I needed him closer. Otherwise, he would never have moved. The staff were pretty good. I rarely had to contact them about things. The only things I dealt with them on were if there were any rent increases, setting up automatic payments, etc. When he moved out, they were very helpful. We had missed the cut-off by a day, and they were able to work around that so that we didn't get charged for an additional month.

Very happy with our experience
We chose this facility because it is smaller, it met all of my aunts needs, and everyone seemed very friendly. She is in an apartment with a stove, washer and dryer, and it has plenty of room for her. It is a very lovely place, the activities are fabulous, it is decorated nicely, and they have a walking trail around the complex. Everything about it is just top notch.

As of [date removed], my wife and I have been at Peninsula retirement in Gig Harbor WA for 2 years. All things considered, we can’t imagine being anywhere else. The staff has taken very good care of us and we love and appreciate them all. The food can be an issue, but the kitchen staff tries very hard and we’ve seen improvement. The service delivered to our door has been prompt and caring. Our activities director works very hard to keep everyone positive and active. The location and atmosphere here is superb, quiet and yet close to everything we need.

More than we expected
My mom was hesitant to move in there and for her I would say that it has extended her life, The social interaction , opportunities to go outings in the community, and have a sense of community has been wonderful for her. She has made new friends. My mom is very happy there. My mom says she is where she should be. She has a nice apartment with high ceilings and she is so comfortable there. We believe finding this community was divine intervention.

Nice place for my mom
I think that the Peninsula is a great place for my mom to live. They offer activities, although, she doesn't always choose to participate. The meals are fairly good with variety. Her apartment is small but it is located on the group floor with a patio, which is so nice. We chose this community because is was close to our family and she didn't needs assisted living because she is so independent. Overall, she really likes it there. She has also made some friends.

We really liked [name removed], the sales associate who gave us the tour. He has been very helpful to us in many ways, from understanding what was available, to how they can meet our budget, to helping my mom find someone who can work with her to get her veteran's benefits. He was great with my mom, and with my kids who came with. My daughter loved the property and it's really beautiful and well kept. The amount of kitchen cabinets in the studio kitchenette we saw was very small, but the ONLY reason mom's not moving there is because we live in North Tacoma and would like to keep her closer.

A great place to live
I have been here a few months. The decision to move to this facility was the proximity to services in the community, and other places I wished to visit. The facility has a community of retired persons from all over the US, making a diverse section of people. The differences make an interesting mix. Activities on the bus abound and range from trips to nearby points of interest to doctors visits and shopping. Inside activities include social hour, bingo, jewelry making, exercises, card games, and other activities run by the community. The decorations are tasteful and beautiful. Overall I am pleased to know I made the right decision to come to this facility.

Way Too Expensive
Things have been going fine here since I moved in. I really like my apartment, however, I am now starting to wonder if I have over extended myself in paying the rent that I am. I know they say everything is included but that still doesn't seem to help. The community is lovely housekeeping does a very good job. The residents and staff are wonderful very friendly and nice. The food is great. I personally don't participate in any activities I tend to want to be by myself but they offer tons of things to do you would never be bored.

Great choice
What impressed us most was the light, cheery looks as well as attitude of staff. It obviously affects the attitude of the residents. We have found friends in the short time here - first month. We toured several homes and found this one - so glad that we made this choice.

Great Place!!
I have recently taken a tour of this community for my husband and I for possibly living arrangements. I am pleased to say that we are getting ready to make the move into this facility and start our new adventure with them. The staff have been very helpful with the transition and have made sure to answer any questions we had for them in detail. I liked the activity program they have available and thought the menu for the dinning room looked great with lots of variety. Overall we are happy and looking forward to the move.

Food is awful!
The web site says, "chef prepared meals.." I think the chef went on vacation and never returned. The evening meal a few weeks ago was grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. The soup was good but the grilled cheese was on cheap white bread with processed (fake) cheese. The meal included fresh fruit...10 very small pieces of watermelon. This is just one example. Tonight was sirloin burger, it was full of gristle and a horrible sauce. The omelets and scrambled eggs are not made from fresh eggs. Food is awful! I have noticed the managers bring in most of their own groceries and they are equipped in their units with full sized kitchens, which we do not have. 24/7 managers seems to mean they live there but are not always available, they are virtually invisible before 8 pm at night. Thank goodness a resident was up and able to let my elderly mom in at 745 pm, the other noc when she forgot her key. And the pricing for what you get is too much. Listening to residents some get a good deal and some do not. Transportation is also very limited and not wheel chair accessible. Just beware!

They were very quick to respond when I needed a bed. I got a very good apartment, but there wasn't a bed when I arrived. I have not needed a lot of care. I think they could have more fun outside activities.
