Overview of Bayview Retirement Community

Bayview Retirement Community offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and continuing care retirement community services in Seattle, WA. Independent living provides a private apartment without daily care, while assisted living adds help with bathing, dressing, medication, and similar tasks. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for residents living with dementia. Having these care levels in one community may suit someone whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move.

With 51 beds, Bayview is a smaller community where residents and staff can become familiar with one another. Apartment choices include studios, alcoves, one bedroom, and two bedroom layouts, giving residents options for a single living space, a separate sleeping area, or more room for a couple. The community serves adults age 62 and older.

Respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time to travel or recover. Short term rehabilitation supports a temporary recovery period, and rehabilitation services are available at the community. Transportation is offered for residents who need help getting beyond the community. Pets are allowed, with an outdoor dog park, terrace garden, and greenhouse adding places to spend time outside.

A pool supports exercise, while the salon or spa provides personal grooming without leaving the community. Dining includes meals prepared by culinary professionals. The Intergenerational Children’s Center gives residents opportunities to participate in a multigenerational setting. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted; Medicare is relevant to short term rehabilitation, while Medicaid may help cover a longer stay for an eligible resident whose savings are limited.
