Bridle Trails Senior Care II sits in a quiet spot in Kirkland, WA, close to Bridle Trails State Park and Lake Washington, and offers care for seniors who need help with daily living, memory issues, recovery care, and more. The home holds six private rooms, keeping things peaceful, never crowded, and always with familiar faces around whenever someone needs help, whether it's getting dressed, taking medicine, or finding a snack in the kitchen. Residents have private bathrooms, access to washer and dryer, and air-conditioning, with safety features like handrails, a sprinkler system, and wheelchair accessible showers, so moving around the house is safe and easy.
The community gives families a chance to talk to senior care advisors to figure out what type of care fits best and how to pay for it, since the home is licensed as non-Medicaid but can connect people with different options like Medicare if they get certified. Nurses, doctors, and aides come in to handle wound care, diabetes checks, incontinence care, and more complicated medical needs, even high acuity, with medication support and special diets like gluten-free, vegan, kosher, or for people who need pureed foods. Trained caregivers help out at all hours, and the staff is well-versed in caring for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's, always working from detailed, personalized care plans.
There's a routine here that focuses on calm and order, with daily activities such as arts and crafts, live music, trivia, religious services, yoga, Tai Chi, and even karaoke, keeping everyone engaged or just giving them something fun to look forward to, and activities are made to help with memory, socializing, and keeping the mind sharp. Sometimes there'll be outings to cafés, access to parks and theaters, and wi-fi keeps everyone connected for news or video calls. Pets are welcome, especially cats, giving a sense of home, and the food is home-cooked, made to fit all sorts of dietary needs, and everyone eats together, like in a family.
Visitors can come during set hours, there's guest parking, and families can set up a tour or video visit before making decisions, with an initial consultation to help match residents to the right services. The community is fully licensed by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services and is part of the local long-term care options for King County. The board and care home does its best to offer both structure and kindness, supporting aging-in-place with flexible care that changes as people's needs do, always aiming to keep life gentle, safe, and comfortable for seniors and peace of mind for families.
