Fred Lind Manor offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to select the level of day-to-day help they need while remaining in the same community. For those who require medical oversight, staff are trained to manage behavioral issues, combative behaviors, nighttime wandering, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetic care whether on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community is also prepared to support residents living with mild dementia, ensuring continuity of care as needs change.
Around-the-clock safety and clinical oversight are built into daily life. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day. Pull-cords and personal emergency response systems in apartments alert on-site staff at any time, and the building maintains 24-hour security coverage. Residents can see a visiting podiatrist without leaving the property. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team supports walker, wheelchair, standby, and one-person transfers so mobility needs do not limit participation in community life.
Apartments are designed to give residents privacy and control, with layouts that may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service; specific features vary by unit, so it is best to confirm availability during a tour. Maintenance, housekeeping, and utilities are managed by the community, allowing residents to focus on their routines and interests rather than household chores.
Dining is structured for flexibility and health management. Meals can be ordered as needed rather than following a fixed menu, snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen team can adjust textures, portion sizes, and ingredient selections to meet physician-ordered diet modifications or personal preferences. Staff coordinate closely with clinical teams to ensure nutritional plans align with each resident’s medical requirements, including carbohydrate control for diabetes or specialized diets for wound healing.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, are welcome to bring pets, and move easily around the property thanks to wheelchair-accessible design. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. On-site conveniences include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, and reliable internet access. Scheduled transportation, proximity to public transit, and a location in Seattle make it straightforward for residents to attend appointments, shop, or enjoy nearby cultural events.
