What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is for older adults that require higher levels of care than independent living - but not extensive medical care, like you might find in skilled nursing home care.
Unlike skilled nursing care, which is regulated at the federal level, assisted living facilities may vary state-to-state. Senior living care facilities provide board and care in a residential setting. They provide a healthy social environment with a calendar full of life enrichment activities, exercise classes, and family events. Senior living tends to be private pay through services like long term care insurance, but some may accept Medicaid too.
The Sequoia Assisted Living Community is licensed as assisted living by the WA governing agency. Each apartment is licensed to provide care, so you have the peace of mind knowing services are available as needed.

My family and I, including my Mom who has now passed, were very pleased with The Sequoia. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, and the medication management was great. Even as my Mom's food, medication, and check-in requirements changed frequently as her cancer progressed, they were on top of it and responsive. They were able to integrate the hospice staff's directions as her care needs changed, and honestly everything was pretty smooth. I can't say enough positive things about The Sequoia. I can imagine myself living there someday.

The team (and I say TEAM as that is TRUELY what they are) are absolutely amazing in care, compassion and communication. From the initial meeting and tour to the painful, detailed financial talks, the onboarding was thoughtful and carefully executed. The move in was just as careful. Then we began to meet care staff, activities coordinator, Wellness Team, PT and the driver for outings. ALL ON THEIR A GAME. Really, it is amazing to have a whole group pf people know your name, and even family member's names that does not live in Washington! More importantly, they know EVERYTHING about my mother. For the first time in decades I can sleep knowing she is safe and in great hands. For the first time in decades I can feel ok about not being with my mother daily. The spaces are lovely- it is clean, it is quiet and it is calm. We wasted so much money choosing another facility that was closer to our home. I am grateful that we did however because the CONTAST has been extreme. We are in the right place now. Thank you, Molly, Trisha and Carri XOXO
