What’s special about this community is the other residents. Everyone has different experiences and backgrounds, and you're around people you really enjoy being with.

No matter how wonderful things are, the staff are always trying to improve it here. I really appreciate that attitude.

Resident of University House Issaquah

The community, it’s an honor to host tours here because it’s a warm welcoming environment with a spunky personality. It’s well taken care of, clean and bright, well organized and all the staff are compassionate people. That must be why our residents stop me daily to tell a family touring just how happy they are here, and that they “need look no further!”

A recent tour of resident apartments featuring their art - paintings, ceramics, needlepoint, quilts, and even diverse objects transformed into fabric reproductions brought to the attention of residents and staff, the extensive artistic skills, past and present, of our resident artists. What an amazing pool of talent!
