New Voice for Senior Living in Washington
Washington’s senior living landscape is evolving-and leaders like Amanda Krueger are at the forefront of this transformation. Recently featured on the “Answers for Elders” podcast with Suzanne Newman, Amanda, Vice President of Health Services at Chateau Retirement Communities, discussed the values and care standards that make Chateau Retirement a standout senior care company.
Family-Owned Philosophy That Puts Residents First
Chateau Retirement is not part of a national chain but a locally operated, family-owned business. This personal touch infuses the communities with a warm, neighborly atmosphere. As Amanda Krueger explained:
“We believe in letting residents live life on their terms. We treat them with dignity, respect, compassion – when we do need to come into their home and assist them in their daily living.”
This resident-centered philosophy ensures each person retains autonomy while receiving the support they need. The staff, seen as an integral part of the family, are also treated with respect and care. “If we take care of our staff, they’ll take care of our residents,” Amanda noted.
A Unique Option for Couples With Different Needs
One of Chateau Retirement’s key strengths is their flexibility in serving couples with varying levels of care requirements. Amanda shared:
“Maybe dad has Alzheimer’s and mom doesn’t. Well, they can both live here… One spouse is living independently or even with assisted living, and then their spouse is safely in memory care.”
This setup provides peace of mind, allowing couples to remain connected while ensuring that each individual receives the appropriate level of care.
Personalized, Dynamic Care Plans
Unlike cookie-cutter approaches to assisted living, Chateau Retirement utilizes individualized service plans. These are updated annually or with any significant change in a resident’s condition.
“We assess the resident, each individually… and then whatever that resident needs, we are able to provide,” Amanda emphasized.
Staff are trained to adapt care plans that may differ significantly from one resident to another, ensuring highly personalized support and a better quality of life for each individual.
Setting the Standard for Senior Living in Washington
With over 25 years of experience, Chateau Retirement sets the bar for dignified and compassionate care in Washington senior living communities. Their approach-rooted in empathy, flexibility, and respect-makes them a leading choice for seniors and families looking for a trusted community in Lynnwood, Bothell, and Renton, WA.
