Overview of The Kenney in West Seattle

The Kenney in West Seattle has been in operation since 1909, which makes it one of the older senior living communities in the city. It sits at 7125 Fauntleroy Way SW in Seattle’s West Seattle neighborhood, within walking distance of everyday errands (Walk Score 74), and close to Lincoln Park, Alki Beach, and the Fauntleroy Ferry terminal. The 53-bed community offers three levels of care: independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Medicaid is accepted, an important detail for families planning for longer-term coverage rather than short-term stays.

Current occupancy stands at 21 of 53 beds, or 40%. Across all three care levels, residents have access to restaurant-style dining calibrated to individual dietary needs, a fitness center, gardens, an on-site chapel, and a concierge. A daily activities calendar runs throughout the week. For residents living with dementia or cognitive decline, memory care is available on-site, which removes the need to relocate if care needs intensify.

State inspections at this community have tended to center on fire-safety systems, emergency preparedness, and food service operations. Those are operational and systems-level concerns rather than direct resident care findings.

The Kenney is a reasonable fit for older adults looking for a range of care levels under one roof in a walkable Seattle location, particularly families who anticipate that needs may shift from independent to assisted to memory care over time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Washington Medicaid cover memory care?

Washington Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 300 memory care communities in Washington. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
