From its rich arts culture to its shopping, Seattle is a bustling city that’s a fantastic place to live. The Emerald City appeals to older adults who want to live an active lifestyle or simply remain in the city they call home.

There are dozens of assisted living communities in Seattle, so older adults can get the support and care they need. But choosing between those communities can be a challenge. The right assisted living community for you should fit your budget, offer the types of care you need, and be a good fit for your lifestyle.

To help narrow down your options, our senior housing experts spent over 50 hours researching assisted living communities in Seattle and identifying the best options. We’ve included essential details about each facility, along with some facts about senior living in Washington. There are also plenty of tips to help you determine which community is the best fit for you.

Our Methodology: How We Chose the Best Assisted Living in Seattle

Since Seattle is home to dozens of great assisted living communities, we used a detailed process to select the very best. As previously mentioned, we spent over 50 hours researching and evaluating Seattle communities. We compared them using these criteria:

  • Cost: Since cost can vary so much, we focused on the value that each community offers for its cost. We also evaluated what services are included in resident fees, plus any extra costs, like enrollment fees, that residents need to be aware of. Any prices listed in this guide come from facility websites or conversations with staff.
  • Care offerings: We also considered the types of care each community offers. We looked for communities with enough care options to support varying resident needs, along with features like emergency call systems for resident safety.
  • Amenities: Our team evaluated the amenities that each community offers. We gave bonus points for amenities like fitness rooms and pools, which can help improve resident health and wellness.
  • Location: A community’s location can significantly impact residents’ access to care and their quality of life. We considered what benefits and potential limitations each community’s location offered to residents.
  • Staff: Staff members play a key role in resident health and safety at a senior care facility. We looked for communities that hire talented staff and maintain adequate staff-to-resident ratios to deliver quality care.
  • Reviews: We read dozens of community reviews to get an insider’s perspective on life in each community. When reading reviews, we looked for common themes and shared those in our summaries.

How to Find the Right Assisted Living Community for You

As you look for an assisted living community in Seattle, our top picks can give you a good starting point. But you’ll also need to decide which community is the perfect fit for you. Consider these tips as you start to narrow down your options.

  • Determine your care needs. Before you start looking at communities, carefully think about what your care needs are — both now and in the future. Choosing a community that can offer additional care as you age may mean that you’re able to stay at that community longer.
  • Describe your ideal atmosphere. Think about the type of atmosphere that you would most prefer in a community. Try to describe that atmosphere, such as whether it’s busy, quiet, pet-friendly, or has other important characteristics.
  • Calculate your budget. Do some math and determine your maximum monthly budget for assisted living, then look for a community with rates below that number so you can comfortably handle any future cost increases. Remember that Medicare usually won’t cover assisted living costs, so you must use Social Security benefits, long-term care insurance, and retirement savings to pay for care.
  • Consider location. Think about the ideal location for your needs, and consider whether it’s important to choose a community near your existing physicians. If you will have friends and family regularly visiting, think about how the location will impact their ability to get to the community.
  • Read reviews. Reviews can highlight some important information about each community, but don’t let a few bad reviews scare you away. Every community will have some bad reviews. So, instead of putting too much weight on any one review, look for common themes that multiple reviews mention.
  • Go visit. As you narrow down your options, start visiting each community. Visits allow you to talk to residents and staff. You can also ask any questions and get a sense of the community’s atmosphere. A visit can help you decide if a facility might be the right fit, so listen to your gut.
