Washington assisted living directory

Assisted living in Washington - Page 8 of 14

This directory lists Washington's state-licensed assisted living facilities, drawn from official DSHS records: licensed bed count, address, license status, and inspection reports where the state publishes them. Washington also licenses a smaller form of residential care most directories skip, the adult family home, which serves six or fewer residents in a house. Compare either here, then confirm pricing, availability, and care fit directly with each provider.

Direct answer

Washington has 331 state-licensed assisted living facilities in DSHS records, listed here with licensed bed count, address, and inspection reports where published. Assisted living is licensed under chapter 18.20 RCW for seven or more residents; the adult family home, licensed under chapter 70.128 RCW for six or fewer, is the smaller alternative. Compare both and confirm pricing and availability directly with each provider.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as assisted living in Washington?

Washington licenses assisted living facilities under chapter 18.20 RCW: communities that provide housing, meals, and assumed responsibility for residents' personal care. Adult family homes, licensed separately under chapter 70.128 RCW, provide the same core support in a residential home serving six or fewer residents.

How do adult family homes compare to assisted living facilities?

Size is the licensing line: adult family homes serve six or fewer residents in a residential home, while assisted living facilities are licensed for seven or more, often far more. The smaller household usually means fewer residents per caregiver and a quieter, home-like setting; larger facilities typically offer more amenities and on-site activities. Monthly costs vary widely in both settings, so compare quotes directly.

Which should I tour first?

Tour both types if you can. Choose by care needs and temperament: a resident who values privacy, routine, and close caregiver attention often does well in an adult family home; one who wants social programming, dining options, and more independence may prefer a larger assisted living community.

Where does this page's information come from?

Listings come from Washington DSHS licensing records: license number, licensed bed count, address, and inspection reports where the state publishes them. Availability and pricing are not in state records, so confirm both directly with each provider.
