Whisper Meadows Senior Care sits in a quiet part of Kirkland, close to hospitals, parks, shops, and restaurants, and is an independently-owned and award-winning community that offers a small, personal setting in licensed Adult Family Homes like Forest Cottage AFH and Greenhaven LLC, each with six licensed beds, so there's a cozy feel with care focused on every resident. This senior care community has many care levels, including independent living, assisted living, adult residential care (including enhanced care), memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and skilled nursing when someone needs round-the-clock medical attention after an illness or surgery, and people can move between these care types as their needs change to support aging in place. Residents can get daily help with activities like bathing, dressing, medication, meals, and personal care, and there's support for more complex needs like incontinence, diabetic care, high-acuity care, and non-ambulatory care, with physicians, care teams, and therapists available.
Specialized memory care focuses on safety, 24-hour supervision, memory-enhancing activities, and tailored programs for people with dementia, so loved ones know their family members have a secure area and expert attention along with things like calming music therapy, pet therapy, brain activities, and outdoor relaxation in a protected environment. Communal areas-both indoors and outdoors-let residents socialize, play games, join movie nights, work on art, use the book room, visit the hot tub or sauna, or have time with spiritual groups through devotional services, plus there's a beauty parlor, planned programs, and fitness options. Whisper Meadows serves three home-cooked meals a day, with menus that can be adapted for special diets including vegetarian and kosher foods or needs related to diabetes and hypertension. For those who like privacy, private rooms with private bathrooms are available, and residents can decorate with their own furniture to feel more at home.
The facility provides transportation for errands, doctor visits, and spiritual events, and there's resident parking as well as help arranging trips out. Meals and dining services are attentive to dietary needs, staff can deliver medication and manage health programs, and there's always help around for daily tasks, social engagement, and wellness plans. Whisper Meadows also welcomes cats and dogs under its pet policy, and offers things like haircuts from a traveling barber or stylist, and a range of group and solitary activities for stimulation and enjoyment. Respite care allows for temporary support, and hospice services are available when needed, and the facility can manage complex care for those recovering from surgery or hospitalization, as well as care for those with intellectual disabilities or behavioral health needs. People living here find comfort in knowing their changing needs can be met, so they can enjoy privacy, security, and independence in a setting designed to support aging with dignity.
