Rosewood Villa is a senior living community in Bellingham, WA, between Fairhaven and Happy Valley, that's been around since 1974 providing assisted living care and now runs under Nightingale Healthcare. Seniors age 55 and up can find several living options here, including independent living, assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, respite care, skilled nursing, and a few continuing care retirement community features so folks can get different types of help as their needs change. The staff offers care with a focus on compassion and tries to bring a real feeling of family and togetherness to the residents, making sure everyone gets support, respect, and help with daily life.
The building has studio, deluxe studio, and one-bedroom apartments with private bathrooms and easy-step showers. Residents can ask for floor plans and pay by check. Some pets are allowed, and there's parking for residents and guests. Inside, people can use the WiFi and cable, relax in common areas with TVs, hang out in the library, join the gardening group, do crafts, and take part in activities like yoga, chair yoga, exercise classes, game nights, Nintendo Wii bowling, and story time. The staff arranges outings to local parks and attractions, has planned events with a resident musical group, and offers religious services and educational lectures.
Rosewood Villa's care team is available round the clock, offering help with bathing, dressing, medication, moving from bed to chair, personal grooming, managing meals-including vegetarian and low sodium menus-housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning. There's an onsite hair salon, an onsite pharmacy, private cleaning, escorts to meals and events, safety checks, and an emergency alert system. The staff can help folks with diabetes manage insulin and will coordinate with outside health providers as needed. Apartments are set up for easy internet use, and residents get weekly housekeeping, utilities, and apartment maintenance at no extra charge.
The community's management approach keeps things running with help from Senior Services of America, which also manages Luther Park and Nikkei Manor. The different levels of care support everyone from people who are very independent to those who need memory care, with personalized plans that change as needed. Activity rooms, outdoor courtyards, walking paths, and a well-stocked library encourage socializing and movement, and chef-inspired meals are served three times a day. Rosewood Villa also offers short-term stays through respite care, support for high, medium, and low care needs, and staff that can help residents move safely around the building. There are devotional services onsite and offsite, a salon with spa and barber services, scheduled transportation, and staff ready at all hours in case of emergencies, all aiming to make sure seniors feel cared for, supported, and included.
