Assisted Living in Bellingham, Washington

"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."

This is a simple promise that the staff at Emeritus at Fairhaven — and throughout Emeritus assisted living communities — has shared since 1986, when Fairhaven first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care.

Right at Home

Set on beautifully landscaped grounds with an outdoor courtyard, meandering trails and lovely gardens, Emeritus at Fairhaven is Southside's premier assisted living community. Located just one-half mile from I-5 in Bellingham, our senior living community offers 49 apartments on one floor for easy access. Here our residents — in many cases, with their pets — enjoy retirement living. Yet a helping hand from our warm, caring staff — many of whom have worked here since we opened — is always close by.

New Friends, New Beginnings

Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, library and TV room — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities each month, here at Fairhaven and beyond, including Deception Pass boat tours, excursions to local casinos and our world-famous tulip fields, as well as trips to concerts, plays, local restaurants and parks. While Whatcom County is in a rural part of Washington State, many conveniences are located nearby, including Fred Meyer, a variety of banks, the shopping areas of Fairhaven, St. Joseph's Hospital and a local nursing home rehabilitation center, as well as bus, ferry and train service.
