Overview of Renton Assisted Living

Renton Assisted Living is an independent and assisted living community operated by the Solstice at Renton brand in Renton, Washington. With 115 licensed beds in King County, the community provides wheelchair-accessible spaces, as well as 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, and respite care. 74 beds are currently occupied, with an occupancy of around 64%, indicating that units are available for interested families.

The most recent inspection on November 6, 2025, identified fire and life safety concerns, including missing documentation for sprinkler and fire alarm testing, blocked emergency exits, and maintenance issues with fire extinguishers. A prior pattern of medication management deficiencies is also cited. This led to a stop placement order on new admissions from July through October 2025, which was lifted after corrective actions were verified.

Earlier complaint investigations substantiated issues such as medication delivery failures, lapses in resident care, improper discharge procedures, and smoking violations, some of which resulted in civil fines and licensing conditions. While recent reports show improved medication management and compliance, fire safety documentation remains an area to monitor. With this inspection history, families are encouraged to review the latest inspection records and discuss directly with management about current protocols and corrective measures.

The community offers a range of amenities, including restaurant-style dining, a fitness center, a library, and outdoor common areas. A full schedule of activities and wellness programs, as well as personal care support, is available to accommodate varying levels of independence.

Renton Assisted Living may be a good fit for older adults in the Renton area who require light to moderate support and are looking for a community with thoughtfully curated amenities and active programming at a relatively competitive price. However, interested families should weigh its recent improvements alongside its regulatory history and ask detailed questions about medication management, staffing, and fire safety practices before deciding on placement.

Overview of Kmj Adult Family Home

Located at 712 W Westmont Way in Spokane’s Town and Country neighborhood, Kmj Adult Family Home is one of three KMJ communities operating in the city. The walk score is 36, so transportation is a practical necessity for most outings. Providence Holy Family Hospital is about 1.55 miles away.

The care range here is broad for a residential-model community. Assisted living, independent living, memory care, residential care, and respite care are all offered at this location. Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the home around the clock. Medication management, help with activities of daily living, personal care, social services, and transportation are all part of what the facility provides. Individualized care plans are developed for each resident, and rehabilitation services are available on-site. Room and board and laundry are included.

The adult family home format means a smaller, more residential setting than a traditional assisted living building. That structure shapes the experience considerably: fewer residents, a home-style environment, and direct care from licensed nurses and CNAs rather than a larger institutional staff model.

Kmj Adult Family Home suits people who need memory care, respite, or ongoing residential support in a home-scale setting in northern Spokane, with 24-hour licensed nursing coverage and a care model that spans from independent living through dedicated memory care.

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.
