What do Sunrise of Redmond's DSHS inspection and enforcement records show?
The DSHS file lists 1 routine inspection report, the most recent dated May 2025. Washington inspects licensed assisted living at least every 18 months, so a recent date is normal; what matters is what each report cites.
It also lists 2 complaint or incident investigation reports (most recent October 2025). An investigation means DSHS checked a reported concern; the report states whether a violation was found.
Enforcement: the file includes 3 enforcement letters (September 2025, May 2025, April 2025). An enforcement letter is DSHS's written notice of action taken to bring a facility back into compliance — it can range from a required plan of correction to a civil fine or conditions on the license. Read the letter itself; the date and the stated reason matter more than the count.The State Fire Marshal's most recent fire inspection on file is dated April 2026.
Does Sunrise of Redmond offer memory care?
Yes — Sunrise of Redmond is Memory Care Certified on its DSHS record. Washington certifies assisted living memory care under chapter 388-78A WAC (permanent rules effective August 15, 2026, implementing E2SSB 5337), so the flag means the state has reviewed the memory care side, not just the base license.
In Bellevue, 9 of 11 licensed assisted living facilities carry a memory care certification or dementia contract. The full list is in our memory care directory.
Does Sunrise of Redmond accept Apple Health (Medicaid)?
No. The DSHS record shows Sunrise of Redmond cannot accept Apple Health (Medicaid), so it is private pay; long-term-care insurance, VA benefits and the WA Cares Fund can still help.
If Medicaid may be needed later, ask now what happens when private funds run out; a resident can be asked to move. 2 of 11 Bellevue assisted living facilities do hold a DSHS Medicaid contract. Eligibility itself runs through a DSHS Home and Community Services assessment — see Apple Health long-term care and the COPES waiver.

How should you evaluate Sunrise of Redmond before choosing it?
The record tells you what the state has looked at; a visit tells you how the place runs day to day. Ask for the overnight staff-to-resident ratio, caregiver turnover over the past year, and how long the administrator and head nurse have been in their roles. Ask which care needs would force a move-out, and get the all-in monthly price for your parent's actual care level, not the base rate.
