Overview of Narrows Glen

Cogir at the Narrows sits in Tacoma’s West End neighborhood and covers three levels of care under one roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory care. The building is three stories with 115 beds, and every single one is filled. That kind of occupancy usually tells you something about local demand.

You can pick from a studio, a one-bedroom, or a two-bedroom apartment, with floor plans running from 350 up to 560 square feet. The neighborhood itself scores a 7 out of 100 on walkability, which lands it firmly in car-dependent territory. If you’re picturing strolls to a corner store, that’s probably not this spot; a car will handle most errands.

Angela Levingston runs the place as Executive Director, and she’s been in senior living for more than three decades. She started as a CNA and nurse, later owned an Adult Family Home herself, and worked as a Health and Wellness Director before landing here. That’s the kind of background that means she’s seen this industry from nearly every angle.

Care-wise, residents get access to rehabilitation services and respite care, plus licensed nurses and CNAs on staff around the clock. That combination works for people managing ongoing health needs and for anyone using the community as a short-term stopover to heal. Pets are welcome too, which matters more than people expect when someone’s leaving a home they’ve lived in for decades.

There’s a fitness center, a salon, a barber, spa services, and a chapel for residents who want it. A wellness program sits at the center of the activities calendar, backed by several branded programs touching music, movement, pets, and virtual experiences. Pricing starts at $3,395 a month, and the community takes both Medicaid and Medicare.

Washington’s state inspectors check in on communities like this one periodically, and recent reviews here have touched on medication management, infection control, and staff credentials. Those three areas show up in oversight across senior living broadly, not just here. Between the full occupancy, the tenured leadership, and a care lineup built for both long-term and short-term residents, Cogir at the Narrows reads as an established, steadily-run community in a quiet corner of Tacoma.

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 447 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.
