Mountlake Terrace Plaza offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to move between service levels as needs change. Clinical capabilities include wound care oversight, oxygen management, and extensive diabetic support that covers oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols. The community can also accommodate physician-ordered special diets and has the staffing and structure to support residents living with mild dementia.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day and an awake night shift to monitor residents. An on-site activity director coordinates daily engagement, while round-the-clock security and staff presence are backed up by in-room pull cords and personal emergency response systems. Podiatry is provided on campus. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and offer some physical help at mealtimes. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one-person assists, and mobility devices such as walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated.
Accommodation options include studios and one-bedroom layouts, many with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate the room. Not every apartment contains every listed feature, so it is best to confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining follows an on-order system that lets residents choose meals at each sitting, with snacks available throughout the day. The culinary team works closely with nursing staff to manage diet modifications that address physician-ordered restrictions, diabetic meal plans, and other specialized nutrition needs.
Amenities and conveniences include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and scheduled transportation for shopping and appointments. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
