Sagebrook Senior Living at Bellevue sits over at 15750 NE 15th St, just east of downtown, in a spot that's quiet but close to everything like Crossroads Shopping Center, where there's a library, a weekly farmer's market, and activities like Movies in The Park and the Dusty Strings Concert Series, and if you want nature, parks like Crossroads Community Park, Ivanhoe Park, and Keeney Park are nearby too, and there's a grocery store right across the street, which comes in handy. People who live here get studio or one-bedroom apartments, each with a kitchenette and access to either independent living, assisted living, or memory care, and you can add assisted living services whenever you need more help, so if someone starts out independent and needs more care, that's possible, and the community does try to keep things affordable and easy for folks over 55.
Sagebrook's main goal is to care for the whole person and their family, offering help to seniors with things like medication reminders, mobility support, and special memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, which means staff with special training work with those who need extra memory support, and staff are known to be both fun-loving and professional, so the place keeps a cheerful but respectful feel. There's a lot to keep busy with every day: yoga, chair yoga, Tai Chi, story time, cooking clubs, game nights, arts and crafts, Nintendo Wii bowling, gardening with the gardening group, book discussions, a resident musical group, and plenty of social and educational events put together to help folks stay active and make friends, and there's a regular schedule of group activities to keep everyone engaged.
You'll find indoor and outdoor common areas, plus recreation rooms, a putting green, patios and gardens, a bistro dining area, and a computer area with WiFi, along with on-site beauty services, and both resident and guest parking, and folks can have pets if they meet some rules, so people who want animal companionship still have good options. The staff provides meals with vegetarian choices, and guests can join at meal times, plus there's room service and a full-size kitchen for when folks want to cook, and cleaning and laundry help is available as well, including in-house and dry cleaning services.
Transportation gets covered by a bus with a lift, so whether it's grocery trips, doctor visits, or community events, there's a way to get there, and the facility is licensed by the state, managed by Leisure Care, and led by Executive Director Pauline Smith, who helps keep things running smoothly. Apartments are spacious and well appointed after a 2015 remodel, with plenty of amenities like handicap access, cable and internet wiring, and private cleaning or aide services available. There's hospice and respite care too if the need arises, and overnight guests are allowed. Sagebrook accepts residents 55 and up, and brings home several community awards, like Best Meals and Dining, Best of Senior Living, Best Activities, and Most Friendly, and while it holds an A+ rating with the BBB, it's not a BBB-accredited business at this time. Residents can participate in in-house and offsite devotional services, and the whole effort is around creating a safe, worry-free home where people can live with dignity, stay independent as long as possible, and remain connected to others in a welcoming, family-style environment.
