Dear Residents and Families,
As of today, we have no known active COVID-19 cases in any of our communities.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we increase our safety precautions. All indoor visits have been cancelled until further notice. We are hopeful that the temporary restrictions that Governor Inslee put in place this week will decrease the occurrence of Covid-19 in Washington State.

Bainbridge Senior Living is actively working with Bainbridge Prepares, The City of Bainbridge Island and the University of Washington to begin testing staff on a regular basis. This would be a pilot program as assisted living communities in Washington State are not required or even guided to do such testing on a regular basis yet. We are hopeful that our next all-staff testing will commence the first week of December and continue on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, as deemed prudent.
We can’t emphasize enough that now is the time to exercise extreme caution. The power to limit the spread of COVID-19 is within our control. If you have the pleasure of working in or visiting any of our communities – be safe!!! Wash your hands, sanitize high touch surfaces (including your phone), keep your social circle as small as possible and of course – wear a snug fitting mask.
In addition to Kitsap County experiencing a surge in COVID-19, we are also rapidly approaching Thanksgiving. If residents choose to socialize for the holidays, they will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days after their return. While I know this seems strict – we simply must stay vigilant to keep our vulnerable residents safe.
Thank you again for your continued trust and support.
