Gencare Ballard Landmark in Seattle offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the option to choose the level of day-to-day support they prefer. Short-term or respite stays are available for individuals who need temporary care, and diabetes management programs help residents monitor blood sugar levels and follow care plans. On-site speech therapy lets residents address communication or swallowing issues without leaving the community.
Additional clinical resources include occupational therapy, physical therapy, ambulatory care, medication management, podiatry, and massage therapy. Staff members provide incontinence care, and hospice services are available for residents who need end-of-life support. A pet-focused program, along with routine wellness checks and coordinated care with outside providers, rounds out the medical support residents can access on campus.
Residences are designed for flexibility. Units may feature a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and scheduled housekeeping, although not every suite includes every feature. Some apartments offer full kitchens or in-unit washer-dryer sets for residents who want more independence, while wheelchair-accessible layouts are available for those who need them.
Dining is organized to accommodate varying tastes and medical requirements. Meals can be ordered on demand, and snacks are available throughout the day. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. The culinary team can prepare menus that follow gluten-free guidelines and accommodate mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, or other physician-prescribed diets.
Community amenities include a pool, movie room, library, barber and beauty shop, concierge desk, internet access, and on-site religious services. Residents can join special-interest clubs, use transportation services, or take advantage of the location’s proximity 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.
