  • Care and support!

    The staff is great and the care takers are very attentive and really work on trying to assist people with memory care issues like maintaining and supporting them. They do a lot of activities, and our mother really enjoys the women's tea. They also just set up an art room which our mother enjoys because she used to be a painter. Our mother is fine with the food, but our father sometimes doesn't really care for it.

  • I love The Bellingham

    We have been very happy with our experience with The Bellingham at Orchard Memory Care. What really stuck out to us was the friendliness of the staff and the residents and the fact that they didn't have anything to hide. The best part about this community so far would be how much the staff members do for the residents. My sister loves the piano and during covid, they made sure she had access to one. They really care about their residents and take the time to form relationships. I would absolutely recommend.

  • My sister is not the easiest person to work with but The Bellingham staff is great with her. They know the littlest details, for example, she doesn't like hot or cold drinks - she wants them tepid. The staff makes sure she gets her drinks, whether it is at a meal or just a request just like she likes them.
