Overview of Josephine Caring Community

Josephine Caring Community is an 86-bed nonprofit community in Stanwood, Washington, offering memory care, assisted living, transitional rehabilitation, and long-term care. Established in 1908, it is operated by Barbara Christoferson and serves residents across Snohomish County. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

CMS rates Josephine five stars overall, with Health Inspection and Quality Measure scores each running well above the Washington average. Across five inspections since 2023, the facility recorded 17 total deficiencies — 45% fewer than the Washington mean — with no fines, no Immediate Jeopardy findings, and no license actions. A substantiated complaint in August 2025 found an 11-day gap in Nurse Delegator coverage; the facility subsequently hired a replacement. The more significant data tension is staffing: nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 26 minutes per resident per day, 22.1% below the Washington average, ranking the facility 81st out of 89 state SNFs.

Two programs distinguish the community beyond standard care: Josephine At Home extends services to residents living in their own homes, and an onsite Early Learning and Childcare program integrates intergenerational programming into daily life. The facility’s occupancy rate is 59%, below the state average of 72.5%, indicating current availability across care levels.

Josephine Caring Community fits residents seeking long-term assisted living or memory care within a mission-driven, nonprofit setting and is structured for short-term rehabilitation stays for those who can tolerate staffing levels below the state norm.

Overview of Channel Point Village

Channel Point Village is an assisted living and memory care community in Hoquiam, Washington, offering assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Licensed through the Washington Department of Social and Health Services, the community has 87 beds. With 50 occupied beds, the community is currently operating at approximately 57.5% occupancy, which is lower than the Washington state average of 72.5%.

This community has undergone nine inspections, which slightly exceeds the state average of eight. The most recent evaluation, conducted on October 9, 2024, identified one deficiency related to infection control wherein a staff member failed to remove personal protective equipment before exiting resident rooms. Earlier findings also revealed a pattern of staff-related concerns, including incomplete reference checks, medication administration errors, and fire safety documentation issues cited in 2022.

Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and no fines or license suspensions appear in the available records. However, families should note that while the overall deficiency count of 15 remains well below the state average of 31, the recurrence of staff compliance issues is encouraged to be discussed during a community tour.

With meals prepared by dedicated culinary staff and served in a communal setting three times daily, plus snacks and drinks throughout the day, this community stands out for its approach to dining. The community programs also address assisted living, memory care, respite care, activities, medication management, and dining in a focused, supportive environment rather than a large campus model.

Channel Point Village is best suited for older adults who would benefit from memory care or assisted living support in a smaller community setting in coastal Grays Harbor County. With an occupancy rate below the state average, the community offers more immediate availability than comparable options in the region.

The most recent inspection by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, conducted on August 14, 2025, identified 10 deficiencies, which is notably lower than the state average of 31. All cited issues were related to fire safety documentation and equipment maintenance, including missing service records for fire protection systems, improper use of power strips, and fire extinguishers that were either incorrectly mounted or lacked maintenance documentation. Additionally, no complaint investigations or enforcement actions were reported.

The community offers a wide range of amenities and services, including chef-prepared meals, fitness classes, a salon with spa services, scheduled transportation, and a variety of daily social and recreational activities.

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 453 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.
