Residents stay an average of 145 days, which includes rehabilitation admissions and ongoing care needs. The surrounding area has a score of 61 out of 100 for walkability, so some errands can be handled on foot. However, most trips require a short drive.

Providing ongoing support throughout the day, the facility averages roughly 4 hours and 32 minutes of nursing care per resident. Registered nurses are on staff.

Overview of Fountain Court Assisted Living

Fountain Court Assisted Living is a senior living community operated by Artegan Inc. in Maple Valley, Washington, offering independent living, assisted living, and respite care with 65 licensed beds in King County.

From a regulatory standpoint, the most recent follow-up inspection on February 10, 2025, reported no deficiencies, confirming that all previously identified issues had been resolved and that licensing requirements were fully met. However, earlier inspections cited fire and life safety concerns, including issues with fire doors, sprinkler heads, and missing inspection documentation, along with administrative matters related to staff training, medication assistance agreements, tuberculosis screening, and pet records. Notably, the most recent clean inspection reflects an improvement in compliance performance.

The community provides fresh, home-cooked meals prepared daily in a comfortable dining setting, with meals included in the care program. A wide range of lifestyle offerings is also offered to promote physical activity, wellness, social engagement, and spiritual connection, along with organized events that encourage community involvement.

Overview of Fieldstone Memory Care

Fieldstone Memory Care is a specialized memory care community in Yakima, Washington, dedicated to supporting older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and various forms of dementia in Yakima County. The community’s 58-bed capacity is currently fully occupied, suggesting a consistent demand for expert memory care services in the Yakima region.

The community achieved a perfect score during its most recent state inspection in July 2025, which identified no deficiencies and confirmed that all licensing requirements were met after the correction of previous issues. However, past inspections had cited deficiencies related to fire safety codes and administrative staff compliance, such as tuberculosis testing, nurse delegation, and negotiated service agreements, all of which were promptly addressed. While a prior complaint investigation substantiated a failure in provider practice involving a staff member who caused a resident unnecessary pain, the community took decisive action by suspending and then terminating that employee. With a total deficiency count significantly lower than the Washington state average of 31, the community’s regulatory trajectory remains positive, and no fines or license actions were identified.

Beyond its core memory care programming, the community provides respite care for families exploring short-term support options within a purpose-built environment. Amenities are also designed to foster engagement and combat isolation, which include scenic outdoor courtyards, a movie theater, game rooms, and several dining areas. Although primarily focused on memory support, the community also offers independent and assisted living programs to help older adults age in place even when their care needs evolve.

Fieldstone Memory Care is an ideal choice for older adults with moderate to advanced memory loss who require a secure, structured, and sensory-supportive lifestyle. The community also appeals to families in Yakima County seeking a dedicated setting that prioritizes quality of life through enrichment amenities and safe outdoor access.

Overview of The Village at Broadview

Long-term residential support and skilled nursing care form the core focus at The Village at Broadview, a 60-bed Seattle facility run by the voluntary nonprofit organization Foss Home & Village. Located in the Parkwood neighborhood about nine miles outside the city center, this community features a Walk Score of 80, meaning most day-to-day errands do not require a car. Private-pay individuals account for 76% of new admissions, while Medicaid covers 14% and Medicare represents just 9%, resulting in an average resident stay of 76 days and a 62.1% occupancy rate.

Oversight logs from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) point to structural and compliance hurdles, noting 10 separate reviews since 2024 that resulted in 85 total citations. This volume runs 74% higher than the Washington state baseline and includes one critical violation alongside 83 moderate infractions tied to care quality, resident rights, pharmacy routines, and infection control.

These issues led to $28,000 in federal fines, though regulators never issued any payment denials. Daily nursing coverage averages 3 hours and 34 minutes per resident, tracking 18% below the state average. On the clinical side, high-risk events, major injuries from falls, and pressure ulcers perform well against state benchmarks, but documented depression symptoms among residents affect 32.8% of the population—doubling the state average of 16.2%.

Prospective residents searching for a nonprofit long-term care setting can look through these public health department archives to balance the facility’s localized walkability against its regulatory metrics. Since the data shows a high citation frequency and elevated depression rates alongside stable physical health markers and a low historical fine total, discussing current clinical programs with the administrative team is a sensible precaution. Scheduling an in-person walkthrough provides an opportunity to evaluate the residential wings, observe the daily care routines, and speak directly with the directors about their quality improvement plans.

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.
