Families visiting Vineyard Park Cottages Sequim for the first time often notice the same things: bright, welcoming spaces, residents enjoying time together and staff who genuinely know the people in their care. Natural light fills the cottages, fireplaces create inviting gathering places and French doors open onto secure courtyards that make the most of Sequim’s beautiful surroundings.
Specialized memory care and respite care are provided in an intimate cottage setting where comfortable shared spaces, familiar routines and individualized support help residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia feel at ease throughout the day.
It’s a community where team members build lasting relationships with residents and their families – and where those connections are so meaningful that many families continue stopping by to visit long after their loved one’s journey has ended.

For older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or other memory-related conditions, the right environment makes a real difference. Memory care at Vineyard Park Cottages Sequim is built around structured routines, familiar faces and secure spaces designed to reduce confusion and create calm.
Respite care at Vineyard Park Cottages Sequim offers fully supported short-term stays for older adults recovering after a hospitalization, families who need temporary relief or older adults considering a longer-term move. During your stay you have full access to meals, activities and care services.
The gathering spaces at Vineyard Park Cottages Sequim are designed around a simple idea: light and openness make everything happier. Large common areas with fireplaces give residents comfortable places to spend time together throughout the day. French doors off the dining room open directly onto one of two secure courtyards. Both courtyards are landscaped and safe for walking, gardening and family visits, with Sequim’s mild climate making outdoor time a realistic part of the day in most seasons.
The activity calendar at Vineyard Park Cottages Sequim takes full advantage of being in one of Washington’s most distinctive corners. Regular scenic rides take residents to the waterfront, lavender farms and the Olympic Game Farm. The Irrigation Festival parade is a local tradition worth watching. Lavender season brings its own calendar of opportunities. And the Sequim Wheelers, a program that provides free wheelchair bike rides for residents who can’t ride independently, is something most communities simply don’t have access to.
Inside, live music on Tuesdays, birthday celebrations, kickball, holiday barbecues and group games fill the week with variety. On Veterans Day, each veteran resident receives a donated quilt bearing their name and military branch. It’s a tradition that manages to be both a formal recognition and a deeply personal one, and one that families consistently describe as one of the most meaningful things they’ve witnessed in the community.
The chef at Vineyard Park Cottages Sequim has been feeding this community for more than 15 years. The assistant chef has been here for more than 10. Between them, they’ve developed a dining program built around home-cooked country delights with comfort, consistency and the particular reassurance of food that tastes like something you’ve had before. Special diets are accommodated and the culinary team’s longevity means they know residents’ preferences the way a good cook knows their regulars.
Many caregivers and staff at Vineyard Park Cottages Sequim have been part of the community for years. Daily communication with families is a standard here rather than something that has to be requested. Care is supported by a strong network of partners. Olympic Medical Hospital and home health services, Sequim Post Acute Care, the Olympic Medical Foundation and Assured Hospice, present in the community daily, mean that residents can receive a broad range of care without disrupting the familiarity of the environment they live in. For families navigating later stages of dementia, knowing that hospice support is already woven into daily community life rather than something that has to be arranged from outside makes a meaningful difference.

The community supports individuals with a range of cognitive support needs. Many people living here remain active and engaged while benefiting from the structure, supervision and specialized support that memory care provides. Care plans are individualized and adjusted as needs evolve.
The team works closely with families before, during and after move-in to help create a comfortable transition. Learning about personal routines, favorite activities and life experiences allows caregivers to build familiarity and help each person feel at home.
