“Top notch place to live. Friendly staff and community residents. Would stay indefinitely but price is too high for us to manage over the long term.”
“Kind and caring staff, with excellent 24 hour care. Kind and thoughtful with their residents, with a real feeling of “home”. My mom absolutely loves it there, She loves the people, the food and can’t say enough nice things about it! We could not have found a better place for our mom!!”

How families pay for assisted living in Washington
Most families in Washington pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living out of pocket at first, often drawing on savings, pensions and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family member holds a policy, can help cover part of the monthly cost, though the terms and waiting periods vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that adds a monthly amount on top of a regular VA pension for those who need help with daily activities, and it can be applied toward the cost of assisted living or memory care.

No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change; the written summary was last revised September 25, 2026.
