Senior Housing Options
in Washington State
Making the decision to change your lifestyle is always difficult no matter what choices are available. At some point in our lifetime, downsizing and creating more leisure time seems to be the best choice. That is when the 55+ community becomes sensible, offering a variety of attractive options for seniors.
Active Retirement ( 55+) Living
For those who live alone, as we begin to focus on security, convenience, activities and transportation issues. Moving to a community of peers offers the promise of new friendships.
Independent communities typically do not offer medical assistance, communal dining, or assistance with housekeeping but do focus on an active environment for the residents — including but not limited to activities and continuing education. Most often this is carefree home ownership where most or all of the exterior maintenance is included.
Retirement Apartment Living
Independent apartment homes with limited services usually including meals, housekeeping and transportation. The following descriptions of Senior Housing Options are according to Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.
