Discharged from a hospital here?
Families often call us right after a hospital stay. These are the hospitals near you we help families transition from.
EvergreenHealth Medical Center (Kirkland)

A short drive south for Kirkland families with more complex needs. We help with discharges from Overlake into vetted homes on the Kirkland or Eastside side.
Care types in this area
Senior care options in Kirkland
Here are the types of senior care we help families find in Kirkland.
Adult family homes in Kirkland
Kirkland's residential neighborhoods hold a good selection of adult family homes, often in quiet streets near the lake or the hills. For a parent who needs hands-on help with daily living or has memory loss, these small homes offer a warm, personal setting close to family. We have toured them and know which are run with real care, and which accept Medicaid.
Assisted living in Kirkland
There are several assisted living communities in and around Kirkland for a fairly independent parent who wants meals, housekeeping, and a social calendar. We tour them and tell you honestly which feel warm and which feel institutional, and whether a smaller adult family home might be a better value for your loved one's needs.
Memory care in Kirkland
For a loved one with dementia, we look for secured adult family homes in Kirkland with dementia-trained staff and a calm, consistent routine. The quiet residential setting here is well suited to someone who needs low stimulation, and we help you weigh a small secured home against a larger dedicated memory care wing.

Kirkland is one of the higher-cost parts of our service area for senior care, reflecting the desirable Eastside location. Cost depends on the level of care, the home, and the room type. For some families, a Snohomish County home offers better value while staying within an easy drive for visits. We give you honest, current ranges once a nurse assessment tells us the care level.

Kirkland questions
Questions families in Kirkland ask
Some adult family homes in Kirkland accept Medicaid, though fewer than in the north Sound because Eastside costs run higher. We help you find the homes that do and explain how it works: Medicaid pays a set rate, and DSHS determines the family contribution. For the application, we connect you with a Medicaid planner.
Yes. EvergreenHealth is the main hospital in Kirkland, and we help families discharged there line up a nearby adult family home or skilled nursing option quickly. Call us as soon as the discharge planner mentions a care facility, so we can start matching homes to the clinical needs and payment source.
Kirkland is one of the higher-cost parts of our service area, but it is not your only option. We often show Eastside families homes in Bothell or Snohomish County that cost less and offer a calmer residential setting, while staying within an easy drive for visits. We help you weigh cost, location, and care quality together.
It depends on where your family lives, the care level needed, and budget. If most of your family is on the Eastside, staying close matters for visits. If you want better value or a quieter setting, the north Sound has excellent homes within a short drive. We help you compare both so you can decide with confidence.
