“Revel is a beautiful community. The staff is kind and supportive to their residents. They have fun events to keep residents engaged and thriving. I love connecting with Tera, the sales director. She truly cares about her community. Trivia once a month is always a blast.”
“Retirement community in Lacey Washington. My mother has a place there and I don't think there is anywhere else in the world I would rather be”
“Affinity at Lacey really is a wonderful place to live. The staff is excellent! There are many amenities and lots of nice people to socialize with. The only reason I didn’t rate it a “5” was because of the rent increases. It is becoming too expensive for those of us on a fixed income.”

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.
