Aljoya is a lovely community with many varied activities for residents, such as exercise classes, Current Event presentations, concerts, art classes, and more. It is within walking distance to Luther Burbank Park, as well as grocery stores, Starbucks and many restaurants. Our apartment is bright, the rooms are spacious, and the staff is very responsive and knowledgeable. We love not having to cook if we don't feel like it, and the food is good!

I have lived here only a month but already feel at home. It is a warm community with friendly residents and caring and helpful staff. There are more activities - exercise, education, entertainment - than I can fit into my schedule. My 1-bedroom apartment seemed small before I moved in, but it is full of light and comfortable. Meals are tasty and portions generous.

Provider Response

Thank you, Louise, and welcome to Aljoya Mercer Island! It's heartening to know that you've found a warm welcome and plenty of activities to fill your schedule.

I chose this facility for its convenient location (short distance to stores and restaurants), nearby greenspace and gardens, friendly staff and residents, and plethora of activities. It's been two years since I moved-in and I have made many new friends. It feels like a small town community. Not having to worry about making my bed or cooking is a blessing. The available medical staff is friendly and competent. I know when the time comes when I need Assisted Living help, I will be well taken care of.

Provider Response

Arnie, thank you so much for sharing your experiences during your first two years with us! It's wonderful to know that you've found your community. We are always here when you need us.

While all independent living and assisted living facilities may offer a very presentable space, amenities, and services, there are a number of major issues to answer first. Location (including transportation access, trails and walking areas and walking to shopping) is of primarily importance; food quality with options, and variety are very, very important' and housekeeping follows. The friendliness of staff and their ability to accommodate your requests in a positive way also has to be considered. With time, one's interaction with relatives, friends, and activities, diminish and your world becomes smaller. So, getting the above factors right for you is so important. You must find a facility that allows you to acquire new friends, maintain and improve your health, and you can become even more active and involved in activities and social engagement. As a five-year resident, I know that Aljoya meets the criteria that I have listed.

Provider Response

Barry, thank you so much for taking the time to share your insights! It's gratifying to hear that we have been able to meet the criteria so important for this wonderful stage of life. Of course, our team is always available if anything comes up.

We selected Aljoya for walkability of area (By Village), light rail out back gate, room can be made assisted living therefore not requiring move, payment plan, interesting residents, quality food, friendly staff., size units, garden and activities provided. It is easy to drive to the area because of location. If you are looking in the Seattle area, Aljoya is a great benchmark for other facilities. Refundable deposit puts you on waiting list and you move up to when the unit you want is available, if turn down, you remain at top.

Provider Response

Bill, thank you very much for your kind review. We're so happy that Aljoya has been able to meet so many of the must-haves that you and your family were looking for. Of course, we're always here whenever anything comes up!

I visited this facility

We went to look at Aljoya Mercer Island. We like the walkability. The Starbucks is behind you, and we lived on Mercer Island for 40 years, as did one of our daughters, so it's a community we know. The director showed us different parts of the building, like the dining room. They only have like 118 units. I think they take way too good care of people. We saw a room that they had arranged for us to see. They have a wide amount of square footage, from one bedroom to two and three bedrooms. They all had different views. They had a swimming pool, a hairdresser, and a barber shop. Everybody raves about the food. They just had a new chef. People from outside can eat in the dining room. They had a very nice dining room manager who had been there for like 14 years. You can sit with different people every night. There's no assigned seating. They have a lot of public lounges in the front when you enter. They're in the process of redecorating the public areas. They have a lot of rooms that you could have family parties in. They're having a garden party where people can come in and see what it's like out in the garden and have meals outside. It's a fun way to talk to other residents who are either on the waiting list or live there. They have a hostess at each table who tells what it's been like for them since they moved in. They have a bus to take you anywhere. I've heard no complaints, and nobody's leaving. Every unit has balconies, air conditioning, and fireplaces.

Provider Response

Karen, thank you so much for your thorough and kind review of Aljoya Mercer Island. It looks as though your experiences at our community reflect what we work so hard to provide. If there's anything else we can do to assist you or your family in the future, please do let us know!

The facility itself is wonderful but I don't know what happened to the restaurant Lilly's. We went down for breakfast and were the only people in the place, when we got our food everything was cold and overcooked, half of the items on the thing we ordered weren't there. To tell you the truth it was the worst breakfast I've ever experienced.

Provider Response

Thank you, Nelsen, for alerting us to a regrettable lapse in service at Lilly's. We take this issue very seriously and have taken steps to ensure it doesn't happen again. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this matter and turn your experience around.

We toured Aljoya Mercer Island. It's right in downtown Mercer Island, which is a small community, and it seems like it would be easy for older people to walk around and get to places. We saw an exercise class that had just ended. We toured the independent living.

Provider Response

Cathy, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Aljoya Mercer Island. We do hope we can be of assistance in the future. Take care!

We looked at Aljoya, but my mom did not qualify for it. I think it was a lovely place for people who have the money and are living pretty independently on their own. It was a wonderful community.

My mother lived at Aljoya for over 3 years. The staff and the entire environment were great. It was a very classy and well kept up spot to live at. The staff knew everyone’s name, including mine. I would highly recommend Aljoya. The food was very nice, there was a pool and Jacuzzi to use as well. The parking was very easy.

My parents came to Aljoyah when it first opened. It has been an amazing experience for our entire family. Aljoyah has become their home. As children, we are so very grateful for all the staff - who have treated my parents like family. The love, care, attention and standards of excellence have made Aljoyah a safe, welcoming and joyful place to live. As a child who lives many states away, I know at any time I can call one of the primary staff for questions, support, processing and updates on my parents. When my mother passed away 4 years ago, the staff made sure to give extra attention to my father in his time of grieving - including him in activities, checking on him regularly, listening to his stories and letting him know he was not forgotten. Their are truly no words for our gratefulness to Aljoyah as family members!

Aljoya is an exceptional retirement community on Mercer Island. It is a beautiful place with all the bells and whistles you would expect at a top notch facility. The staff is very caring and the residents seem to be happy living there. My parents recently moved in and they are enjoying meeting all of the residents and participating in the activities. It is comforting to know that they are being well cared for as they age in a beautiful atmosphere. We are lucky to have such a fabulous place on Mercer Island.

First and foremost, Aljoya is a community, one in which residents enjoy and genuinely care about one another. The staff is equally responsive and extremely pleasant. The rich array of excursions and presentations offered to residents ensures a vibrant lifestyle for all. Aljoya's beautiful, lush gardens are a joy to behold, dining at Lilley's is, much more often than not, an exceptional/delicious treat! Facility maintenance is superb. My decision to move to Aljoya two years ago has, indeed, proven to be a wise and extremely happy one!
