SERVICES PROVIDING INDEPENDENCE
Bellewood’s goal is to help you maintain your independence for life. We offer dozens of key services to let you live the way you want. Should you need assisted living services, those are available through our partners.
PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Bellewood is different because our people are different. We think differently, we approach senior living differently, and you’ll see the results the moment you walk in the door. Here, you can have independence without loneliness. We invite you to come visit and meet some of the people who make this such a unique place to live. Until then, click the link below for a virtual introduction.
ACTIVITIES THAT ENGAGE
We believe life is better when you connect to things that feed your mind, heart, and spirit— and we provide activities that make it easy. For an introduction to some of our more popular activities, click the link below.

RELOCATION ASSISTANCE
Living here is easy. Moving in can be, too. Our relocation coordinator will help make the process as pain-free as possible by coordinating everything from the mover to the cable technician. Many of our residents also benefit from working with our friends at Moving Forward. Learn more about them on our Partners page.
24/7 SERVICE
Service all day, every day.
Your life doesn’t stop on the weekends, and neither do we. A manager is always available. So if you have an important question or issue on a weekend, you won’t get a “we’ll get back to you.” Someone with authority will handle it immediately.

There’s always a familiar face at the front desk, ready with a warm welcome and connection to any personal assistance you might need.
COMPLIMENTARY TRANSPORTATION
Catch a free ride on one of our two air-conditioned motor coaches to shopping, special events, banking, postal facilities, medical appointments and more.
RESTAURANT-STYLE DINING
Your table is ready. Connect with friends in our Cascade dining room over an ever-changing menu from Chef Dave and his team. Our flexible dining plan lets you enjoy lunch or dinner every day at the time of our choosing, so you can tailor meals to fit your life. Room Service and To-Go orders are also available. Read more about our dining plan on our FAQ page.
VALET PARKING
Rain or shine, we provide this no-charge service for our residents and their guests. (We also have plenty of free parking for those who prefer to park their car themselves.)

Daily exercise doesn't have to be a stretch. We make working out easy and convenient.
DISCOVERIES. SERVED FRESH DAILY.
Experience life well beyond the ordinary. Guided by residents’ suggestions and our LifeMinded approach, we assemble a full and varied monthly calendar of events, classes, groups, and outings. If it’s fun, engaging and creates connection—and if it’s more interesting than typical “senior programming”— chances are it’s on our to-do list.
