Laurel Cove in Shoreline, WA offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, Residential Care Home, and Memory Care under one roof, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without relocating. The community is prepared for complex clinical situations, including residents who wander day or night, exhibit elopement risk, show combative or other behavioral issues, stay awake overnight, or require wound care, oxygen therapy, or specialized diets. Staff manage diabetes by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale protocols and are trained to work with advanced dementia conditions.

Care delivery is reinforced by an RN or LPN on site and a nurse on call around the clock. Night shifts are fully awake, and the building is equipped with wander-guard technology, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately. On-site services include hospice care, medication management, specialized memory programs, incontinence and ambulatory care, and visits from occupational therapists, physical therapists, and podiatrists. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, and the team can care for individuals who are bed bound.

Accommodations vary, but many rooms feature a private bathroom, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option for residents to paint or decorate their space. Not every suite includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm details during a tour. The physical environment is designed for easy navigation, which is especially important for those in Memory Care.

Dining follows an on-order model, allowing residents to choose meals within their dietary guidelines. The kitchen accommodates physician-ordered restrictions as well as preferences such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified diets. Staff provide full assistance at mealtimes when needed, ensuring residents with mobility or cognitive challenges receive adequate nutrition and hydration.
