Hillside Assisted Living
Hillside Assisted Living is a residential senior living community in Kent, Washington, providing 24-hour care and support for those who need help with daily living activities. The community has 75 licensed beds and operates a home-like setting around the clock in King County. Since occupancy details are not available, families are encouraged to inquire directly with the community to confirm availability.
The community’s inspection history has a relatively light regulatory record compared to similar communities, with the most recent complaint-initiated investigation on October 1, 2025, concluding in an unsubstantiated complaint related to smoking concerns. Only two inspections are documented, which include the complaint-related visit with findings and a separate life safety inspection that identified no issues.
A wide range of daily living support services, including assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, incontinence care, medication reminders, transfers between bed and chair, mealtime support, and help with compression or support devices, are offered. Three meals are also prepared each day with attention to dietary needs and preferences. Focusing on comfort and familiarity, the community’s approach to care also maintains consistent attention to health and care needs.
Hillside Assisted Living is well-suited for older adults in the Kent area who require ongoing assistance with everyday tasks such as personal care, mobility, meals, and medication support but do not require skilled nursing services. Along with a 75-bed capacity and home-centered setting, the community is a good fit for those seeking a more personal environment. Families who value regulatory history will find this community appealing, as it has a relatively low deficiency count compared to state benchmarks.
