Con Mar AFH sits on a quiet lane at 17031 SE 14th Lane, Bellevue, WA, in a peaceful lakeside neighborhood with forests and hillside views of Lake Sammamish, so it really feels like a home and not a big facility and there's a cottage-style structure that helps keep things cozy for the people living there. This Adult Family Home has both assisted living and memory care services, with features and activities made for seniors who need help with daily life or who have dementia or Alzheimer's, like the secured memory care area and alarm bracelet technology that helps keep those with wandering risks safe, and they've got staff around day and night-there's always 24-hour awake care even overnight, so residents get the support and supervision they need, with de-escalation and behavior support for people who might have major behavioral issues or mental health needs.
They offer several different levels of care, so people can move in needing just a little help and stay if their needs increase, and they also help with diabetic care, high acuity care, incontinence, and medication management, with staff ready to manage insulin injections, blood sugar tests, and sliding scale therapies. Private rooms with bathrooms give each resident personal space, and the house is fully wheelchair accessible-there's wheelchair showers, baths, and everything needed for people with mobility challenges. There are indoor common areas for relaxing and socializing, outdoor common spaces for fresh air, and peaceful walking trails outside, plus you can see the lake from some spots so you can feel like you're out in nature.
Meals get made with options for vegetarian diets, and there are regular activities to keep everyone moving and engaged, like gentle exercise groups, group events on-site, off-site social outings, entertainment trips, and free transportation when someone needs to get somewhere. Caregivers speak several languages including English, Spanish, Russian, German, French, and Italian, so communication for many residents is easier. Visiting hours run from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, so friends and family can come see loved ones most of the day, and healthcare providers like nurses, therapists, dentists, and podiatrists visit as needed.
Con Mar AFH gets listed and reviewed on platforms like A Place For Mom, and holds registration with DSHS, following state rules and allowing profile checks and verification. The whole environment, from the tranquil grounds and quiet location to the round-the-clock support of dedicated, trained staff, tries to make things comfortable, supportive, and safe for people living with memory loss, mental health needs, or developmental disabilities, all in a calm setting designed to reduce stress and confusion.
