Overview of Normandy Park Senior Living

One hundred twenty beds. Memory care and assisted living under one roof. Twenty-two years in operation in an area that’s fully car-dependent (Walk Score 16), about seven and a half miles from the nearest hospital.

Normandy Park operates as a state-licensed residential care facility, not under the federal CMS system. Medicaid is the primary payment pathway, though they list both assisted living and memory care with specific starting prices ($4,000 for assisted living, $9,000 for memory care). That pricing structure tells you something about their model: they’re built around residential care funding and Medicaid placements.

The operational framework includes 24-hour nursing staff (licensed nurses and CNAs), scheduled medication management, and a full suite of personal care assistance. Bathing, dressing, mobility support, medication services. The dining program is chef-prepared with special diet accommodations built in. Residents can access scheduled transportation, which matters in a location this car-dependent.

What stands out in the amenities list is the specificity: salon with spa services, customized service plans, engaging daily events, a dedicated Memory Village program for the memory care population, fitness classes. The facility is pet-friendly and maintains housekeeping, laundry, and around-the-clock emergency maintenance.

State inspections by the Washington Department of Social and Health Services assess fire-safety systems and emergency preparedness across residential care facilities of this type, which are important safeguards in any care setting serving older adults and people with memory impairment.

Normandy Park is a mid-size, Medicaid-focused memory care and assisted living community with comprehensive personal care services, structured activity programming, and pricing aligned to Washington’s residential care payment landscape.
