Parkside Retirement Community
Parkside Retirement Community is a senior living community in Auburn, Washington, offering independent living, assisted living, and rehabilitative services for older adults. The community has 94 licensed beds in King County, providing 24-hour certified staffing, a round-the-clock security system, rehabilitation services, and short-term rehab options in a pet-friendly setting.
From a regulatory standpoint, the most recent follow-up inspection on September 19, 2025, reported no deficiencies, confirming that prior issues had been resolved and that licensing requirements are currently met. However, earlier inspections identified concerns related to fire and life safety codes, staff certification, hand sanitation practices, and pet health documentation. Complaint investigations were not substantiated. A civil fine was issued in July 2025 due to unresolved deficiencies at that time, but the most recent clean inspection indicates that corrective measures have been successfully implemented. Additionally, no license suspensions or revocations were reported.
Current occupancy is approximately 74%, which is close to the Washington state average, suggesting a balanced level of demand and availability. The community also offers a practical range of amenities, including daily lunch service with optional supper plans, cable and phone access, water, trash, and electricity, along with routine maintenance and groundskeeping. Guest accommodations and shared common areas are also available. The inclusion of utilities and meals also helps provide predictable monthly costs to navigate long-term care.
Parkside Retirement Community is well-suited for older adults in the Auburn area seeking an affordable option that combines independent or assisted living with supportive services and continuous staff presence. Its relatively affordable starting cost also makes it a more accessible choice within the South King County market. With meals, utilities, and maintenance included in the monthly rate, families prioritizing predictable costs will find the community a practical option.
