The Bellettini sits in northwest Bellevue and stands out as a hotel-style community built for seniors who want to age in place and get different levels of care as time goes on, so people can move in for independent living now and then later add more support like assisted living, memory care, or even skilled nursing if needs change. Many people like the maintenance-free living, since staff take care of housekeeping, laundry, and transportation, and there's resident parking and even valet service if you want it. The building offers a wide choice of floor plans like one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments, each with in-unit washers and dryers, open kitchens with stone countertops, wood-style floors, a patio or balcony, and gas fireplaces, and some apartments have heat and air conditioning so you can stay comfortable throughout the seasons.
The Bellettini doesn't allow smoking inside, but welcomes pets, so residents can bring their animals, and the grounds include landscaped courtyards, an elegant fountain, and both indoor and outdoor common areas where people can relax or see friends. There's a salon and barber shop onsite, plus a cozy library set up with computer stations and soft chairs, and you'll find fireplaces, soft lighting, and comfortable furniture throughout the building. Residents can eat in the elegant dining room, enjoy chef-prepared meals, or join others at the Wine Bar and bistro. The MBK Mind+Body Wellness program is there to help everyone stay healthy, and trained staff-including nurses and doctors-are always near if someone needs help. For those who like extra support, the care team makes personalized plans and can help with daily tasks, so people keep as much independence as possible.
The Bellettini pays attention to detail, offering wheelchair-accessible showers, a safe and secure community setup, and thoughtful design in every corner. There's an emphasis on good relationships between residents and team members, so you'll notice staff who take the time to listen and who care about your needs, making sure everyone gets the right level of help each day. Memory care and special dementia services, along with skilled nursing, serve people with higher needs, and families can find resources, glossaries, and real resident stories to help them understand these options.
People living here stay busy if they want, since there are planned activities onsite and out in the broader Bellevue area, gardening groups, exercise programs, curated cultural events, outings, social gatherings, movies in the in-house theater, and personalized fitness training in the gym. The community's philosophy, called Yoi Shigoto, comes from Japanese heritage and encourages giving back and volunteer work, and this influences many of the activities and the overall culture. For meals, there are kosher options and menu choices that match individual needs or preferences, and devotional services take place offsite for those who want them.
Short-term respite stays let someone try out the community or recover with support before heading home, and every resident gets a tailor-made approach to care. The Bellettini also offers resort-like touches-concierge services, a fitness center, chauffeur service, and daily activities all focused on health and socialization. With 60 licensed beds and an award-winning design that mixes comfort and luxury, the building aims to make retirement easier and more fulfilling for people in Bellevue.
