Evergreen Elderly Care III sits in the Hazelwood and Newport Hills areas of Bellevue, WA, quietly offering a small, homelike place with six licensed beds for seniors who need assisted living or memory care, and it's an adult family home, which means it doesn't take Medicare and isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, but does have a state license and gets checked by local agencies like the Department of Aging. The rooms here include both one-bedroom suites and communal options, and the whole place stays wheelchair accessible with safety features like grab bars and non-slip floors in every unit, and there's an emergency response system in each room just in case. Staff keep watch around the clock with a keypad entry, surveillance systems, and trained caregivers always on hand, though a nurse is on-call for medical matters, while monthly nurse assessments and visits from the doctor help keep track of residents' health.
Evergreen Elderly Care III covers a wide range of care needs for folks dealing with things like Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, diabetes, incontinence, wounds, and even more complex situations such as trach tube and feeding tube support, dialysis, ostomies, COPD, congestive heart failure, mental health concerns, development disabilities, stroke recovery, and those needing hospice services, all the way to blood draws, vital sign checks, UTIs screening, range of motion therapy, and personal assistance with bathing, showering, transferring, grooming, and eating, even if it's spoon feeding. Residents can get diabetes management including insulin shots, medication reminders or administration from licensed nurses, and help with catheter or colostomy care, plus non-medical tasks like daily activities and companionship. The facility keeps apartments tidy, does weekly laundry, maintains all appliances, and covers all basic utilities except the phone.
Meals come home-cooked and tailored to residents' dietary needs, served three times a day, along with snacks available at all hours. Special occasions get celebrated with birthday parties and holiday dining, often in the family dining areas, cozy parlors, or outside on patios and decks. There's a community kitchen, plus rooms for games, movies, and arts or crafts, while staff run regular on-site activities, exercise programs, and offer religious residents the chance to go to nearby devotional services. Residents can take part in social events and offsite outings, and there's support for visually or hearing impaired residents, too. Grooming and beauty services are offered, as well as an optional concierge service and help with moving when needed.
Rooms are made to be spacious and bright, ready for personal touches so they feel like home, and common areas indoors let everyone gather for entertainment, conversation, or just to relax. Visitors are welcome daily between 9:00am and 8:00pm. Evergreen Elderly Care III first opened in 1992, started by Vio Gradinaru and her family, and it continues to focus on caring for elderly people and giving families some peace of mind. The staff know how to support seniors with memory concerns, behavioral needs, and those dealing with depression or more complex chronic health problems, and the overall aim is to offer a safe, supportive, and comfortable home for seniors needing long-term care in Bellevue, WA.
