Redmond Nursing Home Info
Redmond, best known for being home to Microsoft’s corporate headquarters, offers much more than just the software giant. Located at the northern tip of Lake Sammamish, the city’s population is growing as more people discover the tranquility of the area. 
Residents of a Redmond nursing home are able to enjoy an abundance of landscaped areas and local parks. They also benefit from the modern amenities and services that are following the urban development in the area.
When selecting a long-term care option for your family member or loved one, it is important to distinguish between nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
People who enter a nursing home usually require intensive medical care for serious, chronic conditions that are often debilitating. Assisted living is for seniors who may only require moderate medical supervision and assistance with some daily activities. Here is more information on Redmond assisted living.
Redmond Medical Facilities
Since Redmond is part of the larger “Eastside” community encompassing the neighboring cities of Bellevue and Kirkland, residents of a Redmond nursing home are just a short ride away from top medical facilities in both those cities.
Overlake Hospital Medical Center in Bellevue has the only level III trauma facility in the area and has recently upgraded their emergency care facilities to accommodate more patients. Overlake is one of only two hospitals in Washington State that participate in the national Nurses Improving Care for Health System Elders (NICHE) program that specially trains staff on how to care for the elderly population.
Some Redmond nursing homes may transfer residents to Evergreen Hospital Medical Center in Kirkland should an emergency situation arise. The hospital has recently upgraded their emergency care center which was designed in accordance with their family-centered philosophy. Private rooms offer space for family members to accompany their loved ones during treatment. Waiting rooms provides Wi-Fi access, a concessions center and comfortable seating.
Redmond Parks & Recreation
Redmond has over 31 parks and other open spaces. The largest and most beloved of these is Marymoor Park, a sprawling 640-acre park and recreational center. The park has restrooms, picnic areas and a concession stand. The outdoor amphitheater is a popular local venue for concerts and other performances during the summer months.
For those residents in a Redmond nursing home closer to the downtown area, Anderson Park, the city’s first, has sheltered areas, free parking and public sculptures. It’s a great place to enjoy the magnificent Northwest summer weather from beneath the shade of one of the many trees around the park.
A Redmond nursing home can offer your loved one high quality, compassionate medical care in a peaceful, scenic atmosphere. You can find nursing homes in Redmond on our Redmond Nursing Homes page or assisted living on our Redmond Assisted Living page.
