Overview of Laurel Cove Community

Laurel Cove Community offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Shoreline, WA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident lives in a studio or one-bedroom apartment, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and the multiple care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The community has 98 beds and offers studio and one-bedroom housing options. A resident can choose either a private studio or a larger apartment. Medicaid is accepted, which can help a family plan payment when personal savings may not cover a long stay. In the Ridgecrest neighborhood, the community has a Walk Score of 63 out of 100, meaning the area is somewhat walkable and some errands can be done on foot, allowing a resident who no longer drives to handle certain trips independently.
