University House Issaquah offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, with the clinical resources to support residents whose needs range from routine wellness monitoring to complex medical oversight. Staff can monitor residents who are up throughout the night, manage wound care protocols, administer oxygen, coordinate special diets, and supervise diabetics using either oral medications or injections. The community also accommodates residents with mild dementia by integrating them into daily routines while keeping memory-support resources available. On-site medical services include licensed nurses seven days a week, medication management, incontinence and ambulatory care, occupational and physical therapy, podiatry, hospice care coordination, and visiting dental services.
Additional safeguards reinforce that medical program. An RN or LPN is always on staff, an activity director coordinates structured engagement, and 24-hour staffing and security keep the building under watch. Apartments are equipped with pull-cord or personal emergency response systems that alert staff, and the rear grounds are fully fenced. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby assistance to one-person transfers for walkers and wheelchairs.
Residences vary, but many offer kitchenettes, individual climate controls, cable hookups, and permission to paint or decorate. Not every apartment includes every feature, so families should confirm availability during a visit. Dining follows an on-order model: residents select meals at each service, and the culinary team modifies menus for sodium restrictions, diabetic needs, and other physician-directed diets.
Independent Living residents can opt into a monthly meal plan that bundles a set number of meals each day; the plan can be scaled up or down depending on how often a resident prefers to cook in the apartment. Assisted Living residents typically have three daily meals included, with staff monitoring nutritional intake for those who need help eating.
The community’s non-clinical amenities include a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, indoor swimming pool, on-site religious services, internet access, and covered secured parking. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments, shopping, and local outings, and the property is also close to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
