Residences far from ordinary

University House Issaquah isn’t your average senior living community. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re proud to offer a variety of living accommodations, each with personalities all their own. And with amenities like fine dining, a lush garden courtyard, and a game and crafts room, University House Issaquah brings culture, wellness, social activities and beauty right to your front door.

Restaurant-Style Dining

Embracing the convenience of an in-house chef brings a refreshing departure from the usual chores of meal preparation, cooking, and cleanup. At every Era Living community, you’ll discover a unique culture, ensuring that dining services are tailored to each location. While our culinary experiences vary to suit the individuality of each community, a consistent thread runs through them all: dining with us goes beyond just having a meal. It’s a personal, connected, and caring experience with plenty of choices to make it enjoyable.

Vibrant Lifestyle

Our life enrichment calendars are brimming with activities to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Attend a lecture, discuss current events, take an art class, or enjoy an on-site concert. Choose from a variety of exercise classes for all abilities, including Enhance®Fitness, tai chi, yoga, or Stretch & Flex. Play bridge or poker, take up creative writing, or engage in a local volunteer opportunity. Partake in our regular outings to museums, symphonies, operas, sporting events, parks, and shopping destinations. If you have an interest that you don’t see on the calendar, we actively encourage and welcome feedback to expand options.

The dining room is always so elegant, and the food is fantastic. It reminds me of a cruise ship, only better.
Vicki P.
Resident of University House Issaquah
The Memory Fitness Program at University House had a lot of appeal to us. It enabled us to have [my wife] attend memory class for either a full day, or a half day. Plus, it would give me free time to do things that I needed to get done. And, as a caregiver, it gave me relief. It was a situation that was a win-win as far as we were concerned.
John
Resident of University House Issaquah
Our residents are just fabulous! To see them day after day improving in their strength, enjoying the activities and excursions, learning from the world class lectures put on by UW professors, and sharing their lifelong experiences are just a few of the treasures I witness each day. Simply seeing them smile and saying hello throughout my workday is delightful.
