Brookdale Silver Lake

Brookdale Silver Lake sits in Everett, Washington, close to Silver Lake and about 25 miles north of Seattle, and it's a single-story building with 60 licensed beds and 60 WHCA beds, where seniors can choose from private suites or companion suites and get care that fits their needs, whether they're living independently, need a little extra help, want memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia-including special programs like the Clare Bridge program for mid and late-stage dementia or the Solace program for advanced needs-or need a higher level of care with skilled nursing services on site. The community has home care services if residents want to stay home and get help with non-medical tasks, and it covers all the bases, including independent living, assisted living, adult day services, long-term care, Medicare-certified home health care, hospice, and skilled nursing, so people can stay in the same place as their needs change, and there's also help with the basics like bathing, dressing, medication, and two showers a week, all based on a contract with rules residents agree to follow.

There are staff available around the clock, including nurses, aides, and other licensed professionals, with a digital scheduling system to make sure the right people are on duty, filling shifts for hospitals or skilled nursing when needed, and keeping everything running so that residents stay safe, comfortable, and healthy, with options for therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus visits from a doctor, nurse, podiatrist, dentist, and therapists, and the verification process means the facility checks licenses twice a year to make sure everyone is qualified. Meals get special attention too, with chefs planning balanced meals, routine schedules, and custom mealtime setups, plus hand-held food options for memory care residents, including choices for vegetarian and kosher diets, with furnished rooms, laundry, and meals provided, and common areas indoors and outdoors so people can relax, chat, or get some fresh air.

Residents can join in all sorts of social, creative, and fitness activities, whether it's hobby groups, arts and crafts, fun outings on the bus, flower and vegetable gardening in the raised beds, or group events in the landscaped and secure outdoor areas like the courtyard and pergola gardens, and pets are welcome, so it feels more like home, with beauty and barber services, devotional programs, and resident parking, all in a community where the focus is on wellness and helping everyone live as fully and independently as possible at every stage of aging. Memory care staff try to use the same caregivers each day so residents feel comfortable and build relationships, and the care plans are personal, with safe, secure housing for anyone with Alzheimer's or dementia, including help finding purpose and belonging, so no one feels left out or forgotten.

Brookdale Silver Lake handles many kinds of care so residents don't have to move when their needs change, offering respite and hospice if needed, and using a connected healthcare staffing platform to fill shift vacancies efficiently, even for ICU or other specialized care, with wheelchair accessible rooms and showers, a full slate of activities to keep everyone engaged, health and safety features, smoke-free indoor areas, day and night support, and a commitment to making sure seniors get the help they need while still having the freedom to make their own choices and stay active in a friendly, vibrant setting.

Brookdale Silver Lake is managed by Brookdale.

Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.
