Overview of 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.

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 447 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.
