Red Oak Residence of North Bend
Red Oak Residence of North Bend is a retirement and assisted living community in North Bend, Washington, that offers independent senior living, assisted living, respite care, and short-term stays. It has 38 beds in King County and was recognized as a 2016 Reader’s Choice Awardee for Best Retirement Community, which signifies strong local recognition. The community also supports volunteer involvement and encourages family participation as part of its overall care approach.
From a regulatory standpoint, inspection history shows ongoing concerns, particularly about fire safety. The most recent inspection on October 25, 2024, was conducted following a complaint and identified deficiencies tied to fire safety violations after an unsuccessful Fire Marshal review. Earlier inspections also revealed a pattern of similar issues, including improper storage of combustible materials, concerns with fire suppression systems, and documentation gaps.
Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including findings related to maintaining a safe environment and timely reporting of infectious disease outbreaks. However, no fines or license actions appear in the available records, and corrective steps have been taken to address cited issues. Families are encouraged to review the most current inspection reports and discuss fire safety and infection control procedures directly with the community.
With a 38-bed capacity, the community provides a more intimate and neighborhood-oriented residential experience, along with a lifestyle focused on engagement and connection. Weekly programming also includes shopping outings, crafts, games, and exercise classes, supporting an active and socially integrated environment. Visitor access is also available daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.
Red Oak Residence of North Bend is best suited for relatively independent older adults and those who need moderate assistance but prefer a smaller, locally connected setting in the North Bend area east of Seattle. The community’s emphasis on community involvement and its recognition through local awards also contribute to its appeal.
