Where we source our information

14,000+ communities

We’ve collected data from and about our network of more than 14,000 senior living communities in the U.S. for over twenty years, and we update this information at least once a year.

350,000+ reviews

Additionally, we’ve gathered over 350,000 reviews from senior living residents and family members to provide first-hand accounts of what senior living communities are really like.

How people pay for assisted living in Seattle

Assisted living can be funded in a number of ways, both privately and through public means. While some families may pick one method of payment, it’s also possible to use a mix of private and public funding. Here you will find more information on how families can use private pay, VA benefits, Medicare, and Medicaid to pay for assisted living.

Private pay methods in Seattle

There are several private pay methods for assisted living, including savings and pensions, Social Security benefits, investment returns, and more. Additional options include:

VA benefits for assisted living in Seattle

While VA benefits will not directly pay room and board for assisted living, some veterans may qualify for support through the VA in other ways. The Aid and Attendance benefit provides for expenses that improve quality of life. This benefit is in addition to the VA pension. Additionally, those enrolled in the VA health system may qualify for VA health benefits to support long-term care like physical therapy.

Seattle has several local veteran organizations that provide support in a number of ways, from financial assistance and claims assistance to support services like transportation help. Beyond Seattle-based organizations, national programs such as Veterans Directed Home and Community Based Services (VD-HCBS) may be able to offer support through community-based services. VD-HCBS offers health aide care, skilled care, adult day health care, respite care, telehealth services, and more to qualified veterans.

Applying for VA benefits of any kind can be a long and challenging process, so it is best to reach out to the resources below as early as possible for help before applying. In addition to veterans service organizations, the Seattle public library has a program that helps connect veterans to social services.

Seattle Medicaid for assisted living

Medicaid, known as Apple Health in Washington, provides funding for assisted living as long as the facility is licensed by Washington State and accepts Medicaid payments. Medicaid clients can access three levels of service packages depending on their care needs.

Medicaid may also cover necessary in-home care services through the Home and Community-Based Services waiver program (HCBS). These waivers allow states to use Medicaid money for senior care in assisted living facilities.

You can get help determining eligibility with a benefits screening from the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. In addition to the resources below, Washington’s ombudsman for Apple Health can also help people navigate complaints, grievances, and the appeals process. Washington’s Community Living Connections (CLC) Network, a joint effort between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the VA, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, helps connect seniors to any benefits that might be applied to their financial or health situations.

Medicare assisted living coverage in Seattle

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people over the age of 65. Because assisted living is a form of custodial care, costs related to board or rent are not covered under Medicare, nor are activities related to daily living in an assisted living facility.

However, Medicare Part A may cover skilled nursing care for services in assisted living facilities, like physical therapy or changing sterile dressings. For those who are homebound and in need of skilled care, Medicare Part A and Part B may cover home health services, including:

  • Occupational therapy
  • Speech therapy
  • Medical social services
  • Part-time home health aide services
  • Occasional skilled nursing care
  • Injectable osteoporosis drugs

Seattle’s Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) program is on hand to provide people answers to questions about processes related to Medicare. In contrast, programs like the Medicare Savings Program and the Pharmaceutical Assistance Program can help qualified individuals with some actual Medicare-related costs. There’s also the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) that can help eligible seniors with health care and daily needs. Some seniors who qualify for Medicare or Medicaid might qualify for PACE.

Seniors and families can contact Seattle’s Social Security Administration and local ombudsman for additional support. Washington’s Community Living Connections (CLC) Network helps connect seniors to any benefits that might be available for their situations. This is a joint effort between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the VA, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Understand Washington laws and regulations for assisted living facilities

Washington state law places the Department of Social and Health Services in charge of licensing and regulating assisted living facilities according to the Washington State Residential Care Services statute. Chapter 18.20 RCW was established to promote the safety and well-being of residents at assisted living facilities and to enact requirements for their ongoing operations.

Within this category, Seattle has both assisted living facilities and adult family homes. Assisted living facilities provide housing and care services for seven or more people; in contrast, Seattle’s adult family homes are licensed to provide housing and care services for up to six adults in a regular house located in a residential neighborhood. Currently, 30 of the assisted living communities located in Seattle are classified as adult family homes.

Assisted Living

The licensing process requires assisted living facilities to complete an application and meet specific standards of care, including providing a safe environment, maintaining appropriate staffing and training, and meeting health and safety requirements. That includes:

  • First aid, CPR, and safety training
  • 70-Hour Long-Term Care Worker Basic Training and Specialty Training
  • Nurse delegation and diabetes care
  • Food handling and safety
  • Ongoing continuing education
  • Specific administrator-level training for those running facilities

Prior to approval, DSHS will perform an on-site inspection to ensure compliance. After approval, regular inspections are performed to ensure health, safety, and staffing standards are maintained, residents’ rights are being met, and quality of care is upheld.

To evaluate a specific assisted living facility, visitors can use DSHS’ Assisted Living Facility Locator to access records and evaluations. Inspection records for each can be found via Seattle Assisted Living Facility Search.

Adult Family Homes

Seattle’s adult family homes are licensed to provide housing and care services for up to six adults in a regular house located in a residential neighborhood. Run by a family, a single person, or business partners, Chapter 70.128 RCW of Washington state law outlines the rules and requirements for adult family homes.

These homes must be in good repair and provide a safe, sanitary environment for residents; the training to ensure this includes:

  • First aid, CPR, and safety training
  • 70-Hour Long-Term Care Worker Basic Training and Specialty Training
  • Nurse delegation and diabetes care
  • Food handling and safety
  • Ongoing continuing education
  • Specific administrator-level training for those running facilities

To evaluate a specific adult family home, visitors can use DSHS’ Adult Family Home Locator to access records and evaluations. Inspection records for each can be found via Seattle Adult Family Home Search.

Those looking for advocates for seniors living in adult family homes or assisted living facilities should contact the Washington State Long-Term Care Ombudsman. The ombudsman’s team handles complaints and addresses concerns regarding care quality, the use of restraints, cases of abuse, and transfer and discharge procedures.

COVID-19 regulations for Seattle assisted living facilities

As of October 2022, assisted living care facilities in Seattle stopped compulsory routine staff testing in line with guidance changes from the CDC.[02] Currently, Seattle follows guidelines as laid out by the Washington Department of Health’s Interim Recommendations for SARS-CoV-2 Infection Prevention and Control in Healthcare Settings and the CDC.

Single icon image

Vaccinations. It is recommended that all staff and residents are up-to-date with vaccinations and boosters.

Single icon image

Masking. It’s recommended that staff wear masks, ideally N95s, and eye protection where appropriate.

Single icon image

Facility cleanliness. Assisted living facilities should optimize ventilation and filtration. Dedicated medical equipment should be used when caring for a patient with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2. Routine cleaning and disinfection are recommended.

Single icon image

Quarantining. Staff should limit the transport and movement of a patient to medically essential purposes.

What to expect from assisted living in Seattle

With a strong and thriving level of senior support, the Seattle community is home to 83 assisted living facilities. Within this category, Seattle has both assisted living facilities and adult family homes. Assisted living facilities provide housing and care services for seven or more people; in contrast, Seattle’s adult family homes are licensed to provide housing and care services for up to six adults in a regular house located in a residential neighborhood. The Seattle community is home to 83 assisted living facilities.

Beyond assisted living facilities and adult family homes, the remainder of Seattle’s assisted living options are a mix of assisted living and memory; assisted living, memory care, and independent living; and assisted living and independent living. This variety of care — amid quite a large assortment of venues — ensures there’s an option appropriate for any senior living in Seattle.

Adult family homes

Thirty-one of Seattle’s assisted living communities are group homes, which is a distinguishing feature of the Seattle market. Seattle’s adult family homes are licensed to provide housing and care services for up to six adults in a regular house located in a residential neighborhood. These homes provide room, board, laundry, and any needed help with activities of daily living and personal care.

Standalone assisted living facilities

Unlike retirement communities or independent living facilities — which provide housing exclusively for adults typically 55 or older — assisted living facilities staff assume responsibility for the safety and well-being of their residents and are state-licensed. Only four of the 84 communities are considered standalone assisted living. Some offer specialized care for people with developmental disabilities or dementia or other mental health concerns.

Assisted living and memory care

Currently, 16 of the Seattle facilities offer a combination of assisted living and memory care. While assisted living and memory care communities both prioritize group living — such as common areas, communal meals, and apartment living — the addition of memory care offers specialized care to meet the needs of Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia.

Integrated memory care facilities are typically secured communities with an enclosed courtyard and indoor walking paths, so residents are able to remain active. Depending on the facility, a wander alert system may also be available.

Multiple levels of care on the premises

Currently, 18 of the Seattle facilities are considered a combination of assisted living and independent living, while 13 offer a combination of assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Similar to assisted living alongside memory care, these kinds of assisted living facilities provide a mix of communal living and independent choices. One such facility offers a mix of assisted living, adult day care, independent living, and memory care to meet specialized needs.

The assisted living/independent living/memory care combination is progressive type of care that addresses the needs of those with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia, alongside options to maintain independence and receive assistance as needed.

No matter the type of assisted living community, most prioritize social wellness and physical health. Tai Chi, yoga, and on-site fitness centers are all fairly standard, while arts and crafts centers, game rooms, and hobby-specific clubs allow residents to make social connections with those who have similar interests.
