Where The Heart Is

Where The Heart Is Assisted Living and Memory Care is a premier Assisted Living and Memory Care community in Burlington, WA that serves Skagit Valley, Tacoma, Sequim, and the surrounding regions. Residents have also joined our community from all over the country and the world, including New Jersey, The Netherlands, Germany, and Hong Kong. No matter where you’ve lived before, we’d be honored to have you call Where The Heart Is home. The Burlington, WA region has numerous attractions for residents and visitors to enjoy. The community is centrally located near Deception Pass, the Cascade Mountains, and the Tulip Fields. Every year, the annual Tulip Festival takes place and the region is known for tasty, flavor-filled locally grown berries. Whether your senior loved one requires some help with the activities of daily living (ADL’s) or is living with the effects of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, our dedicated staff takes great pride in delivering high-quality care that is compassionate, safe, and resident-centered. Our services are designed to meet our residents’ physical, emotional and spiritual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our skilled staff includes a Medical Director, Health Services Director, Executive Director who is licensed as an Infection Preventionist, and an LPN. Each resident is assessed to formulate a specialized care plan based on their needs, and we strive to use activities to manage behavior, avoiding psychotropic medications. Additionally, we create ways for residents to be successful. Our community is a certified Monarch butterfly habitat that features vibrant gardens that offer each resident the chance to explore ways to nurture and become immersed in creativity. With compassionate and experienced staff members, we are committed to providing the highest level of care. The Where The Heart Is property features new dining room floors, a theater, a sunroom where we all gather to visit, a beauty salon, and a beautiful courtyard that we use for entertaining and activities. We also have two balconies where people can sit to have meals and enjoy each other’s company. With a focus on both hospitality services and community engagement, we strive to create meaningful relationships with our residents who enjoy resort-style hospitality services including scheduled transportation (we have our own bus), cozy rooms just off of public areas, on and off-site programming like lunch outings, and more. Where The Heart Is also provides a unique opportunity for residents to enjoy the vegetables from our garden, making soup every day, using SPARK procedural memories. Additionally, we have pop-up cookouts on the balcony, resident made pancakes, homemade cookies, and plan special parties based on different foods, like chocolate day or honey day. Every Friday during the summer, residents enjoy a BBQ outside.
