Overview of New Westside Terrace (nwst)

New Westside Terrace is an assisted living and retirement community in Longview, Washington, in Cowlitz County. This 56-bed community offers independent and assisted living services tailored to a flexible service model. Multiple floor plans are also offered, and families pay only for the specific services they require, providing security of available support without a one-size-fits-all care package.

The community has received four state inspections, which is below the Washington state average of nine, with the most recent inspection, conducted on October 21, 2025, concluding in one deficiency related to a failure to submit an annual fire door inspection report. Earlier history also reveals a recurring theme of fire safety documentation gaps, including missing reports for fire dampers, sprinkler systems, and smoke detectors, which led to a disapproved status in May 2023. However, a medication assistance plan deficiency identified in July 2023 was corrected during that same visit, and a June 2025 follow-up confirmed ongoing medication compliance with no new findings. Notably, there were no complaint-initiated investigations. While fire safety documentation remains an area to monitor, the community’s record shows clear improvement in medication management.

Focusing on veteran benefits, the community provides financial guidance for those eligible. The programs include retirement home amenities with optional assisted living services, allowing older adults to remain in place as their care needs evolve.

New Westside Terrace is an ideal choice for independent or semi-independent older adults, including veterans, in the Longview area who value flexibility and affordability. The à la carte service model also gives families a degree of cost control that more inclusive pricing structures.

Overview of Normandy Park Senior Living

One hundred twenty beds. Memory care and assisted living under one roof. Twenty-two years in operation in an area that’s fully car-dependent (Walk Score 16), about seven and a half miles from the nearest hospital.

Normandy Park operates as a state-licensed residential care facility, not under the federal CMS system. Medicaid is the primary payment pathway, though they list both assisted living and memory care with specific starting prices ($4,000 for assisted living, $9,000 for memory care). That pricing structure tells you something about their model: they’re built around residential care funding and Medicaid placements.

The operational framework includes 24-hour nursing staff (licensed nurses and CNAs), scheduled medication management, and a full suite of personal care assistance. Bathing, dressing, mobility support, medication services. The dining program is chef-prepared with special diet accommodations built in. Residents can access scheduled transportation, which matters in a location this car-dependent.

What stands out in the amenities list is the specificity: salon with spa services, customized service plans, engaging daily events, a dedicated Memory Village program for the memory care population, fitness classes. The facility is pet-friendly and maintains housekeeping, laundry, and around-the-clock emergency maintenance.

State inspections by the Washington Department of Social and Health Services assess fire-safety systems and emergency preparedness across residential care facilities of this type, which are important safeguards in any care setting serving older adults and people with memory impairment.

Normandy Park is a mid-size, Medicaid-focused memory care and assisted living community with comprehensive personal care services, structured activity programming, and pricing aligned to Washington’s residential care payment landscape.

There was also a substantiated complaint involving the delayed reporting of suspected resident abuse. However, no fines or license suspensions were reported. The most recent deficiency-free inspection signifies a meaningful improvement in operations and oversight.

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 441 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.
