    About The Watermark At Bellevue Independent Living

    The Watermark At Bellevue Independent Living sits in a new, modern community where seniors can pick from different living options including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term stays, so people can find what fits them best, and they've come up with things like the Sky Suites for independent living right on the same campus, meaning there's no need to move somewhere else as care needs change. The place has a dedicated entrance that you can spot in photos, and inside, you'll see amenities just for seniors-there's a state-of-the-art fitness center, a salon, pet-friendly areas, and dining spots like Evergreen Point Bistro and North of Main Coffee & Café, where chef-prepared meals are served, and sometimes you can use a Flexible Spending Plan for dining, so folks have some choice there.

    With independent living, people get the basics handled-maintenance, meals, and housekeeping-alongside lots of social activities, clubs, and classes through programs like Watermark University and the Expressions Calendar, which seem to cover things from learning to creative activities and health, and that makes it pretty easy to stay active and meet others. Many residents use the Vitality Balance Center, which helps folks focus on mind and body health, and you can tell they've tried to add some newer technology, like EngageVR®, iN2L, LifeLoop, and even Accushield for safety and keeping track of people coming and going, and with staff members who are attentive and know each person by name, people often feel cared for and seen. Medical support is close by if it's needed, including on-site therapy for assisted living residents, medication help, and even round-the-clock skilled nursing for anyone who ever needs it after hospital stays or illness, or just as time goes on.

    For those dealing with memory loss, the security is tight and the Prema Memory Support℠ program is in place with memory-enhancing activities, and the place runs public events and partners with SAGE for more community support, offering dementia resources to families, and when family's away you know 24-hour help's there for peace of mind. Floor plans come in different layouts, with photos, videos, and 3D tours available, so you can look at options before choosing, including Sky Suites and short-term stay choices for those who aren't ready for a big commitment yet. The Watermark At Bellevue is part of Watermark Retirement Communities and stands as an all-inclusive, continuing care retirement community that uses new ideas and technology to make daily life easier but keeps things simple so people can spend time how they want, with easy access to local parks, restaurants, art galleries, medical offices, and cafes if anyone wants to explore off campus, and the transportation staff can help get people there, so there's always activity if that's what someone is looking for.

    About Watermark Retirement

    The Watermark At Bellevue Independent Living is managed by Watermark Retirement.

    Watermark Retirement Communities is a premier senior living operator managing over 70 communities across 21 states with approximately 5,800 associates, ranked as the nation's 9th-leading senior housing operator by the American Seniors Housing Association. Founded in 1985 by David Freshwater and David Barnes as The Fountains in Tucson, Arizona, the company pioneered wellness-based senior living in collaboration with the University of Arizona Center on Aging before rebranding as Watermark in 2006. Headquartered in Tucson, Watermark became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore-based Keppel Corporation in March 2024, following Keppel's initial 50% acquisition in 2019, with Paul Boethel succeeding the founders as CEO while Freshwater continues as Chairman Emeritus.

    The company's signature Watermark University is an award-winning intergenerational learning program where residents, associates, family members, and local experts—including museum curators, university professors, and world-renowned doctors—teach dozens of classes ranging from watercolor painting and ballroom dancing to language learning and sculpture workshops. Named among Fortune's Top 25 Best Workplaces for Aging Services™ by the Great Place to Work® Institute, Watermark provides comprehensive training through programs like GO (General Orientation) Ripples, Leadership by Design workshops, and specialized sales systems focused on understanding buyer motivations and customer service excellence.

    Watermark's innovative Prema Memory Support℠ program features Naya caregivers—named after the Sanskrit word for "guide" or "person of wisdom"—who are Certified Dementia Practitioners trained through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners. The Thrive Memory Care experience includes secure courtyards, multi-sensory environments with fresh flowers, music therapy, and sensory gardens. Their groundbreaking Thrive Dining (Gourmet Bites) program transforms nutritious meals into attractive, bite-sized portions that residents can enjoy independently without utensils. The Dementia Awareness Experience uses virtual simulations including impairment gloves and vision-loss glasses to help associates develop deeper empathy and understanding.

    The company leads the industry in technology innovation with EngageVR, a virtual reality program using Oculus Quest headsets that enables residents to travel virtually to the pyramids of Egypt, swim with whales, or reconnect with veterans from their battalions in virtual living rooms. The 360Well wellness program integrates four key circles—mind, body, spirit, and community—to promote holistic health and independence. Through partnerships with the University of Arizona's Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute and Curana Health for value-based care delivery in Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania, Watermark continues advancing senior care research and innovation.

    Following a "shrinking to grow" strategy under new leadership, Watermark focuses on operating premium communities while maintaining its founding philosophy that they are "a wellness company that happens to provide housing and services for seniors," committed to creating experiences where residents truly feel at home with purpose, possibility, and joy.
