The Bellingham at Orchard by Cogir offers several living options for seniors, with private suites from 230 to 260 square feet and companion suites at about 260 square feet, all with 24-hour staffing and housekeeping included, which means residents don't have to worry about cleaning or getting help when they need it, and there's a friendly staff always close by, plus on-site nursing staff and a doctor on call if needed, and therapists like podiatrists and dentists also come in to help. The community provides assisted living, memory care, independent living, and continuing care retirement options, so folks can find the level of support that fits best, whether it's help with bathing, dressing, or just moving around, and even specialized services for those with memory loss like Alzheimer's or dementia through something they call the Revere℠ Memory Care approach, where care is tailored, and connections are important.
Residents have access to many activities through programs like Melody & Masterpiece, Forever Fit, and Pawsitive Health, which means there are art classes, music therapy, exercise classes, activities with pets, and plenty of ways to stay active and connected, with things like Memories in Motion that help share and celebrate residents' life stories, and Starlight Shows and Virtual Voyages that give folks a chance to experience new things, even from inside the building. The community has spacious private and shared rooms, a dining room, a beauty salon, a computer center, a small library, and outdoor areas like a vegetable and herb garden, which is locked and safe for everyone to enjoy gardening or fresh air, as well as community spaces like an art room, a game room, and common rooms to gather and socialize.
Meals get served restaurant-style, with choices like plated, bistro, or private dining, the kitchen pays attention to dietary needs, and there are often happy hours to give folks a chance to sit together and chat. The Bellingham stays pet-friendly, so some residents have their pets with them, and the staff even runs a Pawsitive Health Program that involves animals in wellness activities. Residents have transportation options for medical and non-medical trips, with the staff helping arrange rides, and there's open parking for anyone with a car or for visitors. Wi-Fi's available, and the place is accessible for wheelchairs and walkers, with a 24-hour emergency call system to make sure residents feel safe all the time, and the grounds are kept clean and open.
The community stays lively with plenty of things to do-bridge, Texas Hold'em, dance classes, entertainment nights, religious services, gardening, and art therapy, which can mean different activities each week-so there's often a steady hum of people coming and going, gathering in activity rooms, or getting involved in special programs designed around what they enjoy. The staff's known for being welcoming and helpful, and the memory care side uses structure and gentle routines to help residents with confusion or wandering. Residents can count on care for both emotional and spiritual needs, and the staff works to promote dignity and a sense of belonging, focusing on safety and comfort above all. The grounds include pleasant gardens and outdoor spaces, and the building doesn't allow smoking inside in any area.
