The Golden Age Retirement Home in Bellevue, WA operates as a residential care home with an emphasis on comprehensive medical oversight. The care team is prepared to support residents who wander, elope, act combative, exhibit behavioral issues, stay up all night, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical attention extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management at every level—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Residents younger than 60 can also be accommodated when their medical or behavioral needs match the facility’s scope of practice.

Clinical staffing and safety measures are in place around the clock. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and the building maintains 24-hour staffed security. Rear grounds are fenced, exit doors are alarmed, and a PERS alert system immediately notifies staff of emergencies. On-site podiatry visits reduce off-site appointments. Direct care includes full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from standby supervision and walker or wheelchair support to one-person, two-person, and full Hoyer lift transfers, accommodating even bed-bound residents.

Accommodations include furnished private rooms that feature en-suite bathrooms and cable service, though not every room has all of these features. Families should confirm availability of specific amenities when touring. The layout is designed to let staff observe residents easily while still providing personal space.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, and snacks are available throughout the day. The kitchen team can modify textures, portion sizes, and nutrient content to align with physician-ordered or resident-requested diet plans, ensuring consistent management of diabetes, cardiac concerns, or other medical diets.

General amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas and resident rooms, along with community-wide internet access for email, video calls, and online entertainment.
