Assisted Living
at Highgate Senior Living at
Bellingham, Washington is offered
in a handsome 'Manor House' providing assisted living
for older adults as well as separate/secure memory
care for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of
dementia.
Entering Highgate gives you the feeling of walking
into a cozy country Inn, nestled in a quiet residential
neighborhood but with personal services that take
care of your every need.
Highgate is conveniently located near Bellis Fair
Mall, Costco, and St. Joseph's Hospital as well
as convenient to banking, churches, shopping, doctors
and medical clinics, and community events. Many
of our residents enjoy the weekly performances at
the Mt. Baker Theatre, or activities at the Senior
Center.
The 'Manor' at Highgate is a smaller apartment community
and because of the cozy size it's easier to move
about the building for meals and activities and
to meet and interact with other residents.
Residents have a choice of a spacious studio, alcove,
one bedroom, or one bedroom apartment suite complete
with kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave and a
3 piece bathroom with a large walk-in shower. You
are free to furnish and decorate your new apartment
as you wish and small pets are welcome so your new
surroundings will immediately feel like home.
We provide a continuum of care that
can accommodate changing needs of a senior adult:
- Assisted living for those needing help with
activities of daily living and limited nursing
services
- Enhanced Care for the declining Senior needing
full assistance and support
- Our secure Memory Care Cottage
provides personalized support and the security
needed for persons with memory decline.
Convenient Design
The Manor at Highgate is a smaller apartment community.
Our smaller size is warm and welcoming with beautiful
landscaped gardens and courtyards. Due to the cozy
size of our community, it is easier for our residents
to independently find their way around the building
for meals and activities…and to meet and interact
with other residents. Our residents are encouraged
to spend much of their time in the common areas
of our community as most research indicates
that socialization is the most important key in
slowing down decline due to aging.
At Highgate, we provide an array of areas
in our building to interest and delight residents
and families alike.
-
A luxurious Spa where a resident can be
pampered with a massage or spa bath and
indulge in therapeutic aromatherapy
-
Cozy and private fireplace nooks where a
resident can curl up
-
Game rooms to keep minds challenged
-
Arts and crafts areas
-
Television room
-
A beautifully appointed grand dining room.
Of course, our residents can always be pampered
in the lovely Highgate Beauty/Barber Shop.
Specialized Assisted Living Environment
Highgate offers a unique Program…called
Life Enhancement that is specifically designed
to create a day...every day...for the older adult.
It is due to our unique programming that an aging
adult needing assistance will generally thrive in
our elegant, non-institutional, and less restricted
environment. At Highgate the every day life of a
resident is enhanced and structured with:
-
Active Participation in familiar music activities
-
Opportunity and encouragement to complete
mentally challenging tasks
-
Aromatherapy and spa events designed to
rejuvenate or relax depending on the need
-
Baking and cooking- to trigger fond memories
-
Woodworking and crafts to keep the creative
part of the mind alive
-
Gardening, potting, and flower arranging
-
Daily exercise class as well as walking
and dancing
Our Programming is Based on Current
Research as research has
demonstrated that aging adults who socialize
and participate in these types of events
will stay vital longer… and decline much
more slowly… than their peer who is isolated
and living alone. Receive more information

Living Activities and

Meals and Hydration
At Highgate, our residents are treated
like royalty in our finely appointed dining
room. They are presented with choices at all
three meals from which they are welcome to select
their favorite “home-style” cuisine. At Highgate,
we know that mealtime is an important part of
the day…both socially and nutritionally. Additionally,
we understand that dehydration is the underlying
cause of 90% of hospitalizations for older adults…so
we provide plenty of opportunity for our residents
to keep hydrated by providing a beverage bar
as well as always offering a favorite beverage
during or after each hourly activity.
The Highgate Team
At Highgate,
we believe our most important ingredient is our
staff. From our nursing department, housekeeping,
maintenance, activities, and our dietary department
we pride ourselves in hiring exceptionally caring
people who have chosen to provide loving care to
our residents. Highgate is unique in the fact that
we employ professional individuals and then we highly
train them in the “stages of decline” due to aging.
Therefore residents, families, and staff have the
best resources available when problems arise.
We spend our lives searching for comfort, security,
and a feeling of belonging. For an aging adult,
these basic human needs are no less important.
Actually, At Highgate Senior Living, we believe
they are more so. Each resident’s individual
capabilities are encouraged, their inabilities
understood, no matter what the level of care
required. They are encouraged to enjoy each
and every day to the fullest extent of their
abilities - with independence, privacy, friendship,
dignity and love. At Highgate, our goal is to
be known in the community we serve as: Welcome to the Comforts of Home.....Welcome
to Highgate
