Facebook Instagram LinkedIn

GenCare Lifestyle Federal Way provides assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Federal Way, Washington. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while independent living offers a private apartment without daily care. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision, and respite care supports short stays. The range of care types can suit a resident whose needs change over time, while respite care may help a family caregiver who needs temporary support.

The community has 85 beds in an apartment-style setting, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. Starting prices are $4,040 per month for a studio, $4,775 per month for a one-bedroom, $5,930 per month for a two-bedroom, and $4,405 per month for memory care. These figures help families match the listed starting rate to a residence size or the memory care setting. Medicaid is accepted, giving eligible residents a payment option when personal savings may not cover the full cost of care.

A fitness center supports exercise, and the library provides a dedicated place for reading and quiet activities. Residents can spend time in the outdoor courtyard, which has a pond and park-like setting, or use the hair salon and private dining room. Pets are welcome, allowing a resident to continue living with a pet. A full calendar of activities, local adventures, transportation, and the Active Retirement and Respite Visits programs offer structured ways to participate in community activities or arrange a short stay.

A Walk Score of 79 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops and services independently.
