The community is within a few miles of Swedish Edmonds Campus Hospital, and downtown Lynnwood is a short drive away, making it convenient for visiting family and access to nearby services.

The community is licensed for 150 beds, with a current occupancy rate of 82%. Families can choose from Medicaid and private pay to cover the cost of care. Residents receive 24-hour support from an on-site care team across the assisted living, independent living, and memory care neighborhoods.

State inspections conducted by the Washington Department of Social and Health Services have focused on nurse delegation, medication administration procedures, and fire safety documentation, including sprinkler system maintenance and fire drill records. A follow-up inspection confirmed that these areas had been addressed.

Overview of Hillcrest Assisted Living

Hillcrest Assisted Living provides assisted living and memory care in Yakima, WA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident lives in a private room. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, which can suit someone living with dementia who needs that level of support.

The community has 50 beds, supporting a smaller residential setting where staff and residents may get to know one another. Both care levels are available in the same community, so a resident whose needs grow can move to another level without leaving the setting. Hillcrest Assisted Living opened in 1987.

Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time away or recovery. Rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation provide care during a limited rehabilitation stay. Staff prepare and serve meals, and residents participate in monthly menu selections, giving them a role in planning what is served.

Private rooms provide a single personal living space. The beauty and barber shop brings grooming services on site. A Walk Score of 61 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain destinations independently.

Staff also assist with transportation arrangements when a resident needs help organizing a ride.

Overview of Cornerstone Court

Cornerstone Court sits on North Ruby Road in Spokane’s Fairwood neighborhood, an assisted living and memory care community with 40 beds, administered by RyLee Mason.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Washington

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Washington?

Assisted living in Washington supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Washington?

Assisted living in Washington is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Washington Medicaid cover assisted living?

Washington Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Washington) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 455 assisted living facilities in Washington. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Washington?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Washington, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Washington?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
