We are very happy with Spring Ridge. Our Mom is in the memory care facility and she has settled in well! The facility is very nice, clean and the residents are well taken care of.

Brookdale Federal Way

4.0
My loved one was a resident at Brookdale Federal Way for almost a year. The staff was very friendly, but the management with follow-through was terrible. I would not recommend this place for someone who needs to be checked up on frequently.
