Redmond Heights Senior Living sits at 7950 Willows Road NE in Redmond, WA, and spreads across more than three acres with tree-lined views and a quiet mountain backdrop, which a lot of folks find comforting, especially when they want someplace peaceful without a lot of city noise, and the building itself is a single story, so you don't have to deal with elevators and stairs all the time. The community has 85 licensed beds and offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and short-term respite care, and they accept Medicaid, so affordability is something that many families can count on. Redmond Heights is owned by Ensign Services, Inc., and the staff includes a registered nurse on site, with Dineo Mahlangu listed as the Business Office Manager and Executive Director, which is helpful for people who appreciate knowing who's running things.
Studio apartments come in a few different sizes-276, 368, 386, and 397 square feet-and all have modern bathrooms, some views of the gardens, and enough space for simple furnishings, plus Wi-Fi is available so people can stay connected. There's a library and computer room for quiet time, a heated pool for exercise, and a well-equipped gym for those who want to stay active, which is nice since there are also exercise programs and group activities like games, bingo, arts and crafts, and card games. For residents who find beauty and grooming important, the full-service salon and soothing spa rooms are open, and if spiritual life plays a role, the serene lawn chapel on the grounds is always available for quiet time or religious services.
The facility hosts monthly activity calendars, trips to nearby restaurants and shops, and regular outings, so people don't feel stuck inside, and meeting rooms and communal areas-including a kitchen where folks can join in or just watch-are set up for easy socializing. Assisted living and memory care programs provide help with daily living while always trying to encourage as much independence as possible, and for those with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or dementia, they have secure memory care areas and specialized staff support. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies are available, along with short-term rehabilitation, outpatient physical therapy, skilled nursing, and post-acute care, and the rehab area is equipped for various therapies like muscle strength tests, joint mobility sessions, ultrasound treatments, and family education about care needs.
What some people like is how the medication system uses unit dose distribution, and medical services include dental, optometry, podiatry, lab tests, x-ray, and even hospice, so basic medical needs are covered. Transportation is part of the services, and pets can join residents in some cases, which many people with animals appreciate, plus the whole place has handicap accessible features, making getting around a lot easier for those who need it. The grounds are landscaped, there's a panoramic setting with lots of open green space, and the whole community puts effort into making people comfortable and part of something-a bit like small-town living with both quiet areas and opportunities to join in group activities if residents want. The campus also includes the Redmond Care & Rehabilitation Center for those needing short-term care before heading home, and respite stays are available if a resident or family needs a temporary place for a few days or weeks. Staff focus on providing steady, well-rounded care and making the place homelike, even if it's never exactly like the family home people remember, and there's always a focus on clear routines, safety, and support.
