Sure, Overlake Terrace Assisted Living & Memory Care is a top-rated assisted living community in Redmond, Washington. But what makes Overlake Terrace one of the best communities for assisted living in the Seattle area? Here are ten 10 reasons families choose Overlake Terrace Assisted Living for their loved ones.
#1: Great Location in Redmond, Washington
There are many great things about Seattle, but traffic, crime, and noise are a few of the not-so-great things. Thankfully, Overlake Terrace is located right across Lake Washington, in Redmond. It’s just 30 minutes outside of Seattle, but cleaner, quieter, and safer–everything you want for you or your senior loved one.
#2: Deep Roots to the Redmond and Seattle Community
Overlake Terrace has been providing assisted living in Redmond and its surrounding areas for over 35 years. Through all the changes in Redmond that came with the Microsoft boom, Overlake Terrace has remained purposeful as an exceptional assisted living community. Their deep roots to the community and decades of experience help families feel confident in their choice. With a full refresh completed in 2019 and more updates planned for 2026, Overlake Terrace is here to stay.
#3: Expert Leadership
One thing that makes Overlake Terrace special is the dedicated, committed leadership. Cindy Miladrovic, Family Advisor, has been working in senior living since 2019. Though her previous job titles include Regional Director of Sales, she chooses to work at Overlake Terrace because it feels different from other senior living communities. She says, “From the moment I first walked through the doors, I knew this was a community I wanted to be part of. It just felt right—welcoming, genuine, and full of life.”
Renee Banks, another Family Advisor at Overlake Terrace, has worked in the senior living industry for over 20 years. Of the five different senior living communities she’s worked at, she says Overlake Terrace is the best. We benefit so much from these expert leaders and their dedication to our community.
#4: Kind, Gracious Staff Members
Families of our residents often choose Overlake Terrace for assisted living in Redmond because of the kindness they feel from our remarkable staff members. One family member shared, “It’s a comfort to me that all the staff, from the Memory Care director Rebecca, the Life Enrichment Director Livy, and all the attendants, genuinely care for the residents as if they were family. On top of being well tended to, residents are engaged in daily activities that make a difference in their lives. I can see it in the improvement of my mother’s general disposition since she has lived at Overlake Terrace.”
#5: Fantastic Memory Care
Many seniors move to Overlake Terrace initially in independent living or assisted living, but as life progresses, they often need the higher security of memory care. Thankfully, Overlake Terrace offers both assisted living and memory care, so your loved one won’t have to leave their home and friends to get the care they need. Our memory care program is also top-rated and well-known throughout Seattle. Get the inside scoop about Overlake Terrace memory care here.

Here, assisted living comes with daily support, but also fun, parties, and learning experiences! Families often come to our dinners, parties, and events to join in on the fun.
