Senior Living Options Are Everywhere in Bothell — Let’s Find the Best Fit

Bothell is home to a large number of licensed senior living providers — from small adult family homes to full-service assisted living and memory care communities. Adult family homes are found throughout the city, tucked within quiet neighborhoods both north and south of 522, along 527, and in the surrounding residential areas.

Assisted living and memory care communities are more concentrated, with clusters:

  1. South of Highway 522, near Downtown Bothell and along the Sammamish River

  2. Along Highway 527, especially north of Thrasher’s Corner, where several modern communities serve the growing senior population

Whether you’re just starting your search or need immediate support, Silver Age Care offers local knowledge and clear guidance to help you navigate your options.

If you’re unsure about what kind of care is the right fit, our comparison table can help clarify the differences.

We Focus on Fit, Not Just Proximity

While Bothell offers many choices, finding the right community is about more than location. We help you evaluate options based on medical needs, care level, culture, and overall feel — so your loved one feels truly at home.

We Help You Find the Right Fit

We take the time to understand:

  • Your location needs and proximity

  • Budget tolerance and private pay options

  • Your care needs (medical, mobility, cognitive)

  • Language and communication preferences

Based on this, we recommend a curated list of providers we’ve personally visited and trust. Learn more about our process.

Finding the Right Senior Living in Bothell Starts with Understanding You

At Silver Age Care, we believe that choosing senior living isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about finding a place that truly feels like home. That means honoring each person’s medical needs, lifestyle goals, cultural preferences, communication styles, and personal values.

Whether you’re a senior adult planning your next chapter or a family member helping a loved one navigate care decisions, we take a personalized, hands-on approach to every recommendation.

We’ve helped hundreds of families throughout the Eastside senior care landscape — including more than 35 licensed providers in Bothell — from adult family homes, assisted living, memory care, and more. We help you find the right fit, not just the nearest option.

We often start with questions like:

  • Are there managing complex health conditions or new specialized nursing care, adaptive equipment, or mobility needs?

  • How important is engagement in tight-knit, culturally familiar community or being near greater comfort, connection, and dignity?

  • Does your loved one have preferences for their next home that fit personality — quiet and cozy, or vibrant and social?

No matter the situation, we take the time to get it right — because every senior deserves more than just a room. They deserve a community where they can feel safe, seen, and supported.
