Kirkland Alone Has 60+ Senior Living Providers

Kirkland alone is home to more than 60 licensed senior living communities — with hundreds more nearby in Redmond, Bellevue, and Bothell. Options range from small, home-like adult family homes in neighborhoods like Bridle Trails, North Rose Hill, Kingsgate, and Juanita, to larger assisted living and memory care communities with full amenities in areas like downtown Kirkland and Totem Lake.

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

We Focus on Quality, Not Just Proximity

Not every community is a good fit — and it’s not just about location. Some might lack the medical services needed, while others might not feel like “home.” That’s why we prioritize alignment — matching each senior with communities that suit their lifestyle, personality, health needs, and preferences.

We Help You Find the Right Fit

We take the time to understand:

  • Your lifestyle goals and personality

  • Budget and insurance considerations

  • Your care needs (medical, mobility, cognitive)

  • Language and cultural preferences

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

Every Senior Is Unique — Their Care Should Be, Too

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

Whether you’re an older adult planning your next chapter or a family member seeking support for a loved one, we take a personalized approach to every recommendation.

With deep knowledge of Kirkland’s senior care landscape — including adult family homes, assisted living communities, and memory care — we help match you with providers who align with your specific needs.

Here’s what that can look like:

  • A senior managing complex health conditions may need specialized nursing care, adaptive equipment, or a facility with 24/7 medical staff.

  • For someone whose first language isn’t English, a culturally familiar community can bring greater comfort, connection, and dignity.

  • Others may simply want an environment that reflects their personality — quiet and homey, or lively 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.
