With a Little Help

2021 Minor Ave E Suite A, Seattle, WA 98102
Overview of With a Little Help

With a Little Help has been doing this since 1995, which is a long stretch for a home care agency to stay in business. Paul Sivesind owns and administers it now, running things out of an office at 2021 Minor Ave E, Suite A, in Seattle’s Eastlake neighborhood. The agency covers the wider Puget Sound region, not just the immediate area around that office.

Eastlake itself is very walkable; a Walk Score of 80 means most errands nearby don’t require a car, which matters more for the office than for clients receiving care at home. Billing here runs entirely private-pay, so families get a consistent structure to plan around rather than navigating multiple coverage types.

The actual care starts with an in-home assessment, and from there caregivers build something personalized. Bathing, dressing, medication management, meal prep, that’s the daily-living baseline. Transportation and companionship round it out, aimed at keeping someone connected rather than isolated.

Where this agency stands out is specialization: memory loss care and Parkinson’s disease care are both named specifically, not folded into generic “personal care” language, and hospice support is available for end-of-life needs too. Scheduling flexes between hourly visits and full 24-hour live-in care, and respite care exists for family members who need a real break, not just a promise of one.

With a Little Help is an agency built around specialization and continuity: three decades of operating history, a private-pay model that keeps billing simple, and care tracks specific enough to match conditions like Parkinson’s or advancing memory loss rather than treating every client the same way.

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.
