THURSDAY 21 0CTOBER Study Tour Day 1 - Seattle. Visit 2. SKYLINE AT FIRST HILL

Our second visit was to a newly built high rise retirement community, and one of three built and operated by Presbyterian Retirement Communities Northwest (www.prcn.net). The Skyline building was started in 2007 and opened in 2009. It consists of 199 high quality Independent Living apartments and a comprehensive range of luxury communal facilities. The neighbouring South Tower comprises 60 Assisted Living apartments, a 34 bed skilled Nursing facility and a 16 bed Memory Support Unit (dementia care). The service is aimed unashamedly at the affluent upper tier of the retirement market and one cannot fail to be impressed by this magnificent 25 storey building. The views across the city from the top floor Sky Lounge, where we were entertained to tea, are quite spectacular.


We were made most welcome by President/CEO Alan Fletcher and his staff.
