Silverado Bellevue is a specialized memory care community serving residents from Seattle, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Gig Harbor, and surrounding areas, setting itself apart as more than just an assisted living facility. This community is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals living with memory impairment, providing a compassionate environment that emphasizes dignity, choice, and engagement. The design of the community features three distinct care “neighborhoods,” each offering varying levels of care to accommodate residents at different stages of memory loss. The atmosphere is intentionally bright and modern, with ample sunlight and thoughtful interior design, fostering a sense of home and comfort.
At Silverado Bellevue, there is a strong focus on training and expertise. The community employs a physician medical director, a masters-level social worker, and licensed nurses present around the clock. Their care team is supported by a certification program that requires 40 hours of classroom and hands-on training, ensuring that staff are well-equipped to support the specific needs of those with dementia. The community places a high priority on both physical safety and emotional well-being, offering a wide range of amenities tailored to the unique challenges faced by memory-impaired residents.
One of the distinctive features of Silverado Bellevue is the Nexus at Silverado program, an internationally recognized, evidence-based brain health initiative. This non-drug approach is designed for persons in the earlier stages of dementia and has demonstrated improvements in cognition and function. The Nexus program is also integrated into the Nexus Flex program, which offers respite care with Nexus programming available seven days a week. These innovative programs highlight Silverado Bellevue’s commitment to providing enriching opportunities for residents to engage, connect, and thrive.
Silverado Bellevue is led by an experienced and dedicated team. Senior Administrator Laura Printy, who has served the community since 2012, brings extensive expertise in gerontology and leadership in memory care settings. Other key figures include Regional Vice President Le Riggs, Medical Director Dr. Caleb Chu, Regional Director of Sales Wendy Rodriguez, Director of Resident Engagement Mitchell Dorman, Director of Culinary Services Steven Doyle, and Director of Plant Operations Jose Gutierrez. Each team member brings a unique background and set of skills, contributing to the warm, supportive, and professional environment that defines Silverado Bellevue.
The community also takes pride in creating a vibrant, fulfilling environment for its residents. Engagement goes beyond basic care to include a variety of daily activities and hospitality services such as culinary offerings led by a skilled team. Furry friends are encouraged to join the community, reinforcing a homelike atmosphere. The staff’s attention to detail and positive spirit contribute to a place where residents can feel safe, valued, and connected. Silverado Bellevue's commitment to personalized care, innovative programming, and expert staff makes it a premier choice for those seeking compassionate, specialized support for memory care on the Eastside and the greater Seattle area.
