My mother lived at The Terrace, which is the memory care unit, for almost 2 years until she died…read more The care there was absolutely wonderful. They were very sweet with her, and they always made her look so pretty. There were appropriate activities all day long. The residents were not forced to participate, but they were able to participate if they were interested. Covid came along after my mother moved in, so I couldn't visit for quite a while, but the activities director allowed me to email notes and photos, which she printed out for my mother to see. The nature of my mother's dementia meant that she didn't notice my long absence, nor did she notice anything else unusual. Meanwhile they just kept on taking very excellent care of her. I would highly recommend this memory care unit to anyone else looking for such care. I can't speak highly enough of it. Debbie B., Bellevue, WA

My father lived here for several years. There are many great features here for the residents, as…read morementioned in the other reviews. The food has changed: Initially the food was delicious and creative. After that chef left, it has been a series of mediocre meals. Main dishes are overcooked and under seasoned. Cooking without salt, using varieties of herbs can result in great food. This food now is blah. The joke at desert when pie is served, is the table mates try to cut the crust by stabbing it with a spoon. It is so tough, they are afraid to bite it with their teeth. The lobby is filled with expensive art, like Chihuly glass. The residents would be better served if the glass was sold and the proceeds were used to hire a great chef. The biggest complaints come when a resident needs extra services. They promise different levels of service options when you take the tour and sign the lease. They represent that they can handle needs ranging from med management, to much more assistance for people with much greater needs as their health declines. In our experience, the meds have been dispensed incorrectly several times, or not refilled in a timely manner such that none were available for a PRN. Also when people return from the hospital, the medication changes and new orders are not always done correctly. The biggest surprise was how few services they actually DO offer. If a person has poor balance and needs constant reminders to use a walker or cane, this won't happen. If help is needed getting out of bed, or off the toilet, that won't happen. This building is basically a lovely apartment home for high functioning people who can manage to live independently. Which works until there is a health event. If you spend a day and watch the elevators, and the lines of people for meals, you will notice private caregivers. Many of them. This is because if your parent has fallen, or weak after the hospital, or forgetful, they will tell you that the need for help is too great for them and they can't provide what you need. Then they threaten to discharge unless you are willing to hire your own personal care helper. That means you pay the full Gardens price , plus the price for the extra one on one private care. It's a very nice building. The director changes almost annually. Most are nice employees, good activities. Be aware that if an illness or a fall change the status of your parent's health, you will be facing much greater expenses, and a lot of extra work, if you want them to continue to live there.....

They are professionals, experienced and understand how to care for our mom in their beautiful and serene home and garden. They are meticulously clean and neat, dressed her in daily ensembles, served health home cooked meals. Our mom made good friends with the other four residents. They socialized in their own cute unique way, they sang, danced, shared dolls and stuffed animals. It was comforting and reassuring to see our mom enjoyed a good quality life at her last years. Adina and her team have exceeded our expectations. They were angels for our mom. We are forever grateful.

My folks moved into Bellewood nearly two years ago, and it has been a great place for them. The…read morebest thing is the community. The staff and the residents are all very supportive. Everyone on the staff seems to know each resident, and have personal connections with the people who live there. Residents range in age from their 70s to over 100. There are movie screening rooms, music performances, community meetings, a pool table, a regular bus for shopping and errands, etc. You can do as much or as little as you want to. My mom was in a group that took a watercolor class away from the building, and they got the community bus to take them to and from class. It is convenient to I-90, on the Sammamish plateau. Note that this is NOT an assisted living facility. This is for people who are self sufficient but don't usually want to bother with cooking. One meal a day is provided, in a very pleasant dining room, and very light apartment cleaning once a week. That means a good meal with friends every day, and the vacumning and dusting are done (bed made too if you want). Beyond that, you do whatever you like to do. When my dad was diagnosed with cancer & was in and out of the hospital, everyone there was very supportive of both of them, and of me. When he died my mom and I were able to provide hospice in the apartment, and a neighbor would check in on her way to lunch to see if my mom wanted her lunch brought to her. But the staff cannot and will not try to provide any medical assistance. There are fancier places being built in the area, but what makes a community work is the people, not the counter tops and carpeting. Living at Bellewood is putting spring in my mom's step and adding years to her life.

Absolutely wonderful facility!…read more Did some extensive research on options for Gma about a year before she moved in, June of 2025. Wanted a quality place where she would feel at home and be able to make friends and socialize and stay busy. The Executive Director, Madelyn, is absolutely fabulous to work with, you can tell she really cares about the residents and has a passion for what she does. The support staff and activities team are all so welcoming, smiley and overall great to be around and provide a very warm and welcoming vibe for residents and visitors! We did some extensive research into assisted living facilities and this was by far my #1 choice for reasons I will list below: 1. The amenities - activities galore and always changing, well thought out and the activities staff are friendly and are proficient in social engagement for the elderly and cognitively impaired. They do a good job of offering lots of engagement opportunities for residents. 1.a. - Addtl ammenitites - attached bistro that is open to the public, resident key required for entry from bistro into the facility. Nice for a little change of scenery 1. b. - Addtl - salon on site! Addtl fee, but there is a hair salon ON SITE ... I believe they might do nails as well but not sure... but this is SO convenient for those that don't drive and don't want to hassle with booking the resident shuttle LOVE LOVE This! & it's right off the entry way so it has a nice window view to the street 1. c. - Addtl - shuttle! The resident shuttle can be booked to take vehicle-less residents to their doctors appointments, or any other places within a 5 mile radius that they need to go! They typically have a weekly grocery trip on the activities calendar as well, so there's a pre-planned trip that everyone can go on for any grocery needs. 2. The facitity itself - always clean, very beautifully decorated, love the small touches of real flowers on the lunch tables when they have them as well as holiday decor, little snack and treats in the lounging area with some fresh water, apples and cookies, great layout of the facility, good location with a decent flat walkway right out front that residents can go for easy walks. Elavators with key required access to go to up resident floors. Location is RIGHT down the street from Overlake hospital, which is convenient, we did have to go there one evening when gma was having dizziness and vomiting and it only took a few minutes to get there. VERY convenient for healthcare reasons. 2. a Rooms - rooms are somewhat small but are perfect size for one or two people that are mostly going to be out and about in the facility the majority of the day. Each room has decent views so that is very nice (we looked at several different options of rooms before choosing). The bathrooms are large and perfect for safety for the age range of target residents. Linens and house keeping are provided once a week!!! Yay!!! 3. Care & safety - The assisted staff bring meds in the AM and they do nightly safety check rounds, call button lanyard for each resident and emergency safety pulls in each restroom in the facility and in each private resident restroom. RN on staff with 24/7 staff on site who can call the on-call RN if needed. Concierge staffed desk during the open hours of the facility, which is so nice there's always someone monitoring who is coming in, check in required with name badge. Resident key required for elavators up to floors! 4. Food & dining - the food is excellent and a well thought out rotating menu. Some of the same, regular items available, but always a new highlighted daily menu with new and exciting items. The food is clearly quality and cooked well, they didn't hire just anyone, the chef is a real chef! The dining room is open access all day from AM until dinner time, I think they close up at 6pm. 5. Staff - how the facility chooses their staff and what type of staff they have on site says a lot. All the staff during my visit seems welcoming, pleasant, smiling, helpful and overall enjoyed being at their jobs. The long term care sector can be one that is overlooked and underserved and we were not going to choose a place that hires people that don't want to be at their jobs because caring for loved ones is a very important role and this was a huge factor for us as well. 6. Price - price is expensive but honestly is similar to other facilities yet far exceeds in value above and beyond the others that we looked at. We visited this place about a year prior to moving Gma in, they allowed us to come for a complementary lunch and activity to get a feel and be shown around and all that. Mom and I visited, did the tour and looked at rooms and a later date I brought Gma for lunch and an activity. I was very pleased with the experience and recently visited Gma in Oct of 2025, a few months after she moved in, for about a week and a half. The experience was nothing less than the prior visit! A+++ would HIGHLY recommend!

The care providers seem happy which means to me that they are being treated well and supported. My mom and dad get a better ratio of care providers compared to a skilled nursing facility and it is more cost effective and feels like they are home. I researched adult family homes and the five star ratings here are justified. Elena's communication is fabulous. She had a team of great care providers. She and her team treat my parents with the respect they deserve having survived 80 years of age and 57 years of marriage. Elena is very open to individual needs and preferences.
