I am writing this review as a family member of a current resident. As I walk into Bellwood, I am always greeted with a smile by the amazing staff. They seem to know all the residents by name as well as their family members. They offer various life minded activities for their residents. They are always going on bus trips. They put out an amazing newsletter called the Chatter each week which is loaded with information and fun events to do at Bellwood. Alona, the manager always has a smile on her face and is friendly as well as approachable. She takes the time to become familiar with residents as well as family members. The staff has longevity at Bellwood which helps to make it seem like family!

My mom has been living here at Bellwood for a few years now and just loves the place, her apartment, the staff and the fact that she can have here little dog Finnegan is a bonus. The 2 times my mom needed Medical attention the staff was right there and stayed with her while EMT's were dispatched and stayed in constant contact with me the whole time. Having my mom live there puts my mind at ease knowing she is safe and well taken care of.

A Real Home - Thank You!

I visited this community with my colleague as a visiting musician. The members of the community were so appreciative, attentive, and receptive during the performance. We performed classical French art song by Maurice Ravel and they were so interested that the language barrier wasn't even a problem. We attended a reception afterwards and they were engaged and friendly to us. We loved performing there and would love to come back some day!

So warm and welcoming when I came to visit! Great staff and residents are lively.

Look so happy

A lovely place to work with a wonderful family atmosphere for both staff and residents. Diverse programming, reflecting the residents passions and interest. There’s something for everyone. Amazing food from a talented Chef and team. Family owned!

My grandma used to live here and now I work as wait staff. Bellewood is such a great place, the staff puts in lots of effort to make sure the residents are happy. Great place to live.

We found Bellewood through A Place for Mom, and moved my parents there in May 2019. We could not be happier! This is a spectacularly nice facility with staff that are just fabulous! My parents absolutely love their apartment, the staff, the other residents, all the activities, the shuttles, the onsite hair and nail services, and more! To top it all off, the application fee and monthly rent are very reasonable (actually, quite low compared to the quality of the building, food and support). You won't find a better place for independent living the Seattle area.

Moved here in August last August from Iowa. Terrific!

Great location they take care of my mom very well

Very good

I had the opportunity to volunteer at Bellewood to fulfill one of my college requirements at the University of Washington. I could not have asked for a better place to do my volunteering - Bellewood is full of friendly, caring folks who welcomed me from the first day I set foot in the beautiful building that is Bellewood. There was constant activity going on whenever I was there - art classes, dance classes, movie days, lunch activities, and lots more. You can truly feel the tight-knit community at Bellewood. The genuine interest and care residents have for each other and their staff was wonderful. I was lucky enough to take part in several activities that involved thoughtful discussions amongst residents and program staff, and loved hearing all the wisdom folks had to offer. Aside from that, the building, rooms and surrounding area of Bellewood is beautiful! I can't thank the Bellewood team enough for allowing me to volunteer and giving me the opportunity to be involved in their awesome community. :)

Staff who truly care!

Meaningful place to work!

This is the absolute Best Retirement Community EVER!!!
