Welcome Home Oak Harbor Senior Memory Care is a memory care community in Oak Harbor, Washington, dedicated to those living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other memory-related conditions. This 52-bed community provides 24-hour care for those 60+. Long-term care insurance is accepted, but Medicare is not.

Amenities include comfortable living environments, well-maintained outdoor yards, gardens, and walking paths, while specialized care programs include diabetes management, incontinence care, dietary management, and assistance with bathing and grooming. Visiting physicians and podiatrists also provide on-site medical access, with pet therapy, daily exercises, manicures, games, and visiting churches. Diet-specific meal plans are also available, along with housekeeping, linen service, and utilities.
Welcome Home Oak Harbor is well-suited for families seeking a smaller, home-centered memory care environment in Island County, particularly for those in the early to mid-stages of memory loss who benefit from familiar routines and strong caregiver relationships. The focused nature of the care programs also makes this community a specialized option for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
