Brookdale Federal Way
Brookdale Federal Way is an assisted living community in Federal Way, WA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication while allowing a resident to keep an apartment. Respite care is available for short stays, which can help when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The community has 110 beds, with one bed and two bed housing options. A two bed option can suit a couple moving together, while a one bed option gives one resident their own space. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet.
Assisted living starts at $4,765, giving families an initial figure to weigh against the care provided. Medicaid is accepted, giving eligible residents a payment option when personal savings may not cover a long stay. Brookdale Senior Living owns the community, which also has a salon, spa, pool and fitness classes.
Dining is shaped around residents’ preferences and dietary needs, with foods such as whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, along with special diets. Rehabilitation services and transportation are also available. A Walk Score of 77 places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
Respite care may make Brookdale Federal Way a good fit for a family seeking short term support while a primary caregiver travels or recovers.
