Assisted Living Communities in the Greater Puget Sound Area

Assisted Living in the Greater Puget Sound Area

Community, comfort, and care — all under one roof

For many older adults in King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties, assisted living communities offer the ideal balance of independence and support. Residents enjoy private apartments, daily social activities, and peace of mind knowing help is available when needed. These communities are designed to simplify daily life while fostering connection, purpose, and engagement.

Why Choose Assisted Living?

The main attraction of Assisted Living is becoming part of a lively, supportive community that can adjust as your needs change.

Residents often enjoy:

• Private studio, one-, or two-bedroom apartments

• Kitchenettes or full kitchens

• Private bathrooms

• Restaurant-style meals

• Housekeeping, transportation, and life-enrichment activities

Many residents receive hospice and end-of-life care within their community, allowing them to remain in familiar surroundings.

A move to Assisted Living can mark the beginning of a whole new season of life, focused on friendship, family, and hobbies — and it’s common to hear, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

How Care Is Delivered in Assisted Living Communities

You don’t need to wait until care is required to move in. Assisted living allows residents to start independent and add personalized care services as needed.

When care is required, it’s provided directly in your apartment — day or night, 24/7.

Typical Care Services Include:

• Scheduled assistance with showering, dressing, and medication

• Unscheduled help, such as bathroom assistance

• Emergency response buttons worn as a pendant or wristband

• Care plans that adapt over time to balance independence and safety

Costs for care are generally added to the monthly rent and tailored to each resident’s needs.

When to Consider a Transition

Even the best communities may not meet evolving care requirements. Residents may eventually need a different setting if:

• Care needs exceed what the community can safely provide

• Financial limitations arise, particularly if Medicaid is not accepted

• Specialized dietary or medical requirements cannot be accommodated

• Progressing dementia requires secured memory care

Before moving in, review the community’s Disclosure of Services to understand exactly what care and services are offered. Asking these questions during your tour helps prevent stress later.

Knowing these details ahead of time can prevent the stress of an unexpected move later.

Memory Care Options in Puget Sound Assisted Living Communities

Support for residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease varies widely. Some communities offer:

• Dedicated memory care units (secured or locked)

• Staff trained in dementia-specific care

• Specialized activities to promote engagement and comfort

Others provide limited support, so it’s important to evaluate each community’s approach carefully to ensure your loved one receives the right level of care.
