Dorina Ilisan, licensed nurse and owner of Ideal Care Homes Bellevue

About Us

Dorina Ilisan is a licensed nurse and second-generation senior care provider with over 30 years of experience in healthcare and senior living. Her journey in caregiving is deeply personal — shaped by growing up in the senior care world and witnessing firsthand the importance of treating every elder with dignity, patience, and genuine compassion.

As the owner of Ideal Care Homes, Dorina has built her vision around the same values she practices as a nurse: comfort, respect, and individualized care. She understands the challenges families face when a loved one is living with dementia, Alzheimer's, or behavioral changes, and she is deeply committed to providing not just care, but peace of mind.

Ideal Care Homes offers both assisted living and specialized memory care, creating a safe and nurturing environment where each resident is known, valued, and cared for like family. Dorina's mission is simple yet heartfelt — to make every resident feel at home, even when they need the highest level of support and understanding.
