Overview of Providence Mount St. Vincent

Providence Mount St. Vincent is a 122-bed skilled nursing, assisted living, and independent living community in Seattle, Washington’s North Admiral neighborhood, operated as a voluntary nonprofit under church sponsorship. The campus offers a transitional care unit, outpatient rehabilitation, and a Wellness Clinic alongside residential care, drawing a predominantly private-pay population with an average length of stay of 126 days. CMS rates the facility 1 star overall, driven primarily by its Health Inspection score, which is 65% below the Washington state average. Staffing is a relative strength: total nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 38 minutes per resident per day, 6% above the Washington benchmark. Since 2022, inspectors have recorded roughly 4 deficiencies per year — 37% below the state average of 6.3. The four-year record includes two substantiated complaint investigations (a discharge procedure violation in March 2023 and a staff-conduct finding in November 2022), four serious citations for abuse and neglect in June 2025, and two federal civil money penalties totaling $87,000 ($77K in January 2025 for a repeat medication administration deficiency, $11K in May 2024). No findings of Immediate Jeopardy or license actions appear in the reports. Campus amenities and programs include an Intergenerational Learning Center, an on-site barber and beauty salon, and physical, social, cognitive, and spiritual care programming. Residents have access to outpatient rehabilitation and a Wellness Clinic. The facility’s occupancy rate is 62%, roughly 10 points below the Washington average, suggesting availability. Providence Mount St. Vincent suits private-pay residents seeking a continuum of residential care — from independent living through skilled nursing — within a mission-driven campus setting in West Seattle. Families weighing placement should note the serious citations and repeat enforcement findings alongside the below-average deficiency rate.

Overview of Kadie Glen Assisted Living

Kadie Glen Assisted Living is a locally operated senior care community in East Wenatchee, Washington, within Douglas County. This 64-bed community currently maintains a 93.8% occupancy rate, with 60 individuals currently in residence. This is one of the highest occupancy rates among comparable options in the region, reflecting consistent family confidence and limited availability.

This community has undergone 12 state inspections, which is above the Washington state average of 9, suggesting a more active oversight history. The most recent annual inspection, completed on September 18, 2025, concluded with zero deficiencies, marking a significant improvement over earlier records. Past reports documented issues including medication management, fire safety violations, resident rights concerns, and community maintenance deficiencies. However, complaint investigations did substantiate some prior failures, such as unsafe medication self-administration and privacy violations, though complaints related to food and staff responsiveness were unsubstantiated. Additionally, enforcement actions included citations, but no fines or license suspensions are listed. This recent clean inspection record signals meaningful progress.

This pet-friendly community offers 24/7 staffing, 24-hour security, outdoor patios, activity areas, and laundry services. Individual units are also equipped with kitchenettes, refrigerators, microwaves, and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. Access to phone and cable hookups, along with an emergency call system, is also available. Additionally, transportation and social activities programming are readily available to all who live there.

Kadie Glen is particularly well-suited for older adults who value a family-like atmosphere in a mid-sized community with a convenient location in East Wenatchee. Its high occupancy rate also speaks to its standing among local families.

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.
