Aptly named Bellevue is a well-connected city located on Puget Sound’s scenic Eastside, which offers beautiful views of the Seattle skyline and the Cascade Mountains. Nursing home residents in the local area are part of a community that’s nearly 150,000 strong. In fact, the city has more than 20,500 senior citizens, representing 14% of the population. While the cost of living is well above average, health care is more affordable than usual, and the area has several highly rated hospitals.
Nursing homes in Bellevue charge slightly more than the state median, but rates are typical for other cities in the region. These services are suitable for adults who require 24-hour medical monitoring and specialized rehabilitative services. Seniors who are active and enjoy a varied daily schedule may be more comfortable moving to an assisted living facility or hiring a home health care agency instead, which can provide considerable savings.
This guide includes information about Bellevue nursing homes, including average prices and details about alternatives. You’ll also find a directory of long-term care resources that can help along the way.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
