Are you worried about finding the right place for your mom as she gets older? It’s okay to feel a little scared or unsure. You love your mom and want what’s best for her, but there are so many choices in Bellevue and Seattle. It can feel like trying to pick the best candy in a giant candy store! According to Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, Washington’s population of adults aged 75 and above is forecasted to outpace the growth of younger adults over the next two decades? That means finding the right care is becoming even more important.

Getting to Know Mom: Her Needs, Her Wants, Her Story
We know your mom is one of a kind. She has her own personality, things she likes, and a whole life story. Maybe she’s always done things on her own and is very independent, like Linda P., who wanted to make sure her dad could keep his independence while getting the care he needed. Or maybe she loves being around people and chatting with friends, like Evelyn T., who was looking for a place where her husband could feel comfortable and make new connections.
Does she have hobbies she wants to keep doing, like gardening or playing cards? Maybe she’s like the clients Tibi helped who were looking for a place where their mom could continue to be active and engaged. Does she need a little help with everyday things like getting dressed, taking a bath, or remembering her medicine? Or is she just looking for a place with friendly people and fun things to do, like bingo or movie nights? Some of our clients, like John M., were worried about their parents’ safety and wanted to find a place where they would be well-cared for.
We want to get to know your mom so we can find a place that’s just right for her. We’ll ask about her favorite foods, what makes her laugh, and what she needs help with. We want to know what makes her happy and what worries her. One daughter told us, “Tibi met with my mom for over two hours, making sure she understood everything.” (Avi U) That’s how much we care about making sure your mom is happy and comfortable. We want to find a place where she feels like she belongs and can be herself.
Different Kinds of Places for Seniors: Finding the Right Fit
Bellevue and Seattle have lots of different places for seniors, each with its own special things to offer:
- Independent Living: These are like nice apartment buildings where your mom can have her own place and do things on her own. They have yummy food made by a chef, fun activities like yoga or book clubs, and sometimes even a pool or a gym! It’s like living in a fancy hotel, but just for seniors!
- Assisted Living: If your mom needs a little help with everyday things, assisted living is a good choice. They help her with things like getting dressed, taking a bath, or remembering her medicine, but she can still do lots of things on her own and make friends. It’s like having a helper who’s always there for her.
- Memory Care: If your mom has trouble with her memory, these special places can help. They have people who know how to take care of people with memory problems, like forgetfulness. They keep your mom safe and do activities that are good for her brain, like puzzles and games. It’s like a school, but just for helping with memory. One daughter said, “Thanks to Tibi, she is now in a safer and healthier facility. She is healthier and happier than her prior 3 years.” (Gloria H)
- Adult Family Homes: These are smaller places that feel like a home. Your mom would live with a few other people and get lots of attention, like from a family. It’s like having a second family to take care of her! Many of these homes are in quiet neighborhoods in Bellevue and Seattle, so your mom can feel safe and peaceful.
