Empress Senior Living at Laurelhurst

Overview of Empress Senior Living at Laurelhurst

Empress Senior Living at Laurelhurst sits in Seattle’s Hawthorne Hills neighborhood, a 73-bed, three-story community operated under the Leisure Care network. Studios run 297 to 390 square feet, one-bedrooms stretch from 427 to 610, and assisted living starts at $5,365 a month. Right now, occupancy sits at 73 percent.

Walkability is a genuine strength here. The Walk Score is 78, solidly in “very walkable” territory, and most errands don’t require a car. The community accepts Medicaid alongside private pay, and pets are welcome, so a move here doesn’t mean giving up a companion animal.

Memory care runs through the Opal program, part of the wider Opal by Leisure Care model, and that matters practically: a resident could move in for assisted living and later transition into memory care without changing buildings. PrimeFit Wellness backs up the physical side of things, and rehabilitation services, respite care, and licensed nursing staff round out the clinical support.

The amenity list leans into everyday life, not just care logistics: a theater, a salon and barbershop, a library, an outdoor garden terrace. State inspections here have tended to center on fire-safety systems, care planning and documentation, and fall and injury prevention, the kind of operational areas regulators routinely look at in communities offering both assisted living and memory care.

What Empress Senior Living is is a community built around continuity of care, backed by real lifestyle infrastructure and a payment structure, Medicaid included, that opens the door to more families than a private-pay-only model would.
