Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Seattle, WA

Overview of Horizon House

Horizon House sits right in downtown Seattle, at 900 University Street, and the location does a lot of the talking. A Walk Score of 98 puts it about as close to a walker’s paradise as it gets. Most errands, appointments, and outings don’t require a car at all. The 90-bed high-rise offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care, all under one roof, with Brittany Hallett leading the community.

Occupancy sits at 73 percent, meaning 66 of the 90 beds are filled. Apartment layouts run from one-bedroom to two-bedroom to penthouse, so there’s some range depending on what a resident needs or can afford.

Health and wellness, arts and culture, civic engagement, creative endeavors, gardening, lifelong learning, philanthropy, dining and nutrition education, and exercise and movement are all named, structured tracks; rehabilitation services are available too. On the amenity side, residents get an aquatic center, a balance and mobility fitness program called BEAM, a massage studio, and acupuncture, plus everyday conveniences like valet parking, a concierge desk, and group transportation for outings. Pets are welcome, which matters for anyone not willing to leave a companion behind.

State inspections here have tended to center on fire-safety systems, emergency preparedness, staffing and staff credentials, and care planning and documentation, the same broad categories regulators watch across most licensed communities. Medicaid is accepted, giving families a coverage option to factor into long-term planning.

What emerges is a downtown high-rise built for residents who want walkability, a genuinely broad program calendar, and room to move between care levels without relocating, provided the tradeoffs of urban high-rise living fit what a family is looking for.
