“I never had expected to be willing to sign up for assisted care, but at 83-years-of-age, I appreciated the facility itself, the meals I was able to enjoy while I was there, and the room I was given, so I joined, and an looking forward to moving there on 7/23/26.”
“Sunrise of Redmond is always a pleasure to visit. My loved one is so well cared for and I feel at ease that they are in safe, capable hands. Everyone is sooo thoughtful, kind, professional and helpful! I’m happy I went with Sunrise!”
“The staff are so dedicated here...they really all do an amazing job. John Friedman does a super job with all of the daily activities, and he really put together a very nice event for my Mom's 90th birthday. Highly recommended!”

How families pay for independent 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.
