Overlake Terrace Assisted & Senior Living sits quietly among tall evergreens in Redmond, Washington, and you can find it close to the Microsoft campus, which makes the area feel calm and connected to nature at the same time. The building feels modern and cozy after some recent renovations, and it has a covered entryway and a big inviting lobby where people pass through or meet up for coffee and snacks in the café, which comes with warm wood cabinets and a handy snack bar. There's a courtyard where residents often sit outside, and big open areas inside like a theater for movie nights and a game room with billiards and card tables where you can find folks sharing laughs or playing cards.
Apartments come in several layouts, like studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, and they look out onto landscaped grounds, sometimes with nice views of mature trees. The units feel plenty spacious, with kitchenettes that have full-size fridges and microwaves, individual heat controls, and bathrooms with safety bars and roll-in showers for easier access. Many rooms get good light and offer comfy spaces with cozy beds, soft lighting, and windows that let the natural light in. Shared laundry rooms are free to use, or residents can ask for personal laundry service if needed. Housekeeping and linen services happen once a week, and same-day maintenance is available.
The place serves three meals a day in a dining room set with tables and a buffet area, and the food focuses on being tasty and nutritious, which many residents look forward to. They also offer a gym where exercise happens every day, plus a beauty salon and barbershop for anyone who likes to keep up appearances. Overlake Terrace makes life easier by offering several transportation options, like weekly shuttle bus rides for errands and private rides for doctor appointments or shopping. Folks who live there wear emergency pendants for quick help, and care staff are on call any hour of the day if something comes up.
