10 Best Nursing Homes in Seattle, WA

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Seattle is known as the Emerald City because of its surrounding evergreen forests. It’s a beautiful urban area that’s still in touch with nature. If you or a loved one is looking at senior living options in Seattle, exploring the information in this guide will help you better navigate senior living and select the best possible option.

When looking for senior living options in Seattle, “nursing home” is often used as an all-encompassing term. The reality is nursing, as defined by government agencies, refers specifically to skilled nursing facilities that care for people with significant short- and long-term health conditions or injuries. Skilled nursing facilities benefit seniors who need full-time care. However, many seniors don’t need this degree of attention. Rather, they’d do well in an assisted living or memory care facility that allows them to live as independently as possible.

In this guide, we’ll go over information about skilled nursing to help you determine whether it’s the right care level. While we don’t partner with any stand-alone skilled nursing facilities, some of our assisted living and memory care communities have skilled nursing care services on-site.

A Place for Mom partners with 153 assisted living and memory care facilities within a 10-mile radius of downtown Seattle. And we have many more options in a 25-mile radius if you are looking beyond the immediate city. In this guide, we will take a look at the costs, ways to pay, health care options, transportation methods, and more.

What nursing homes cost in the Seattle area

The national median cost of a nursing home in a private room is $8,910 per month.[01] This cost is for skilled nursing facilities providing 24-hour supervision and on-site health and rehabilitative services.

Skilled nursing facilities are ideal for seniors who need long-term care due to serious conditions or short-term care for those recovering from surgery, hospital stays, or injuries. Here are services in skilled nursing facilities that are often included:

  • Help with personal care
  • Rehabilitation services
  • Palliative and hospice care
  • Health care
  • Transportation services
  • 24-hour supervision

In Seattle, the average cost of assisted living is $6,246 per month, and the average cost of memory care is $6,508 per month, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[02] These figures include associated fees and service fee add-ons. You’ll notice these numbers are lower than the national average cost of a nursing home because residents don’t need 24/7 skilled nursing care.

Paying for a nursing home in Seattle

Skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, or memory care can be paid for in a few ways. Private options, such as savings accounts, are commonly used alongside public options, such as Medicaid or Medicare. While some people choose to use one funding method to pay, most people prefer to use a mix of private and public funding.

In this section, you will learn about how private funding, VA benefits, Medicaid, and Medicare can all be used to help pay for different types of senior living facilities.

Private funding options in Seattle

There are many different ways people can pay for skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care facilities using private funding. The most common are savings and pensions, Social Security benefits, and investment returns. However, there are also the following options:

VA benefits for nursing homes in Seattle

If you or your loved one served in the military, they can use a VA Pension to pay for skilled nursing, assisted living, or memory care facilities. Veterans can receive a pension if they are a certain age, were honorably discharged, and meet other eligibility requirements. To apply, click here.

There’s also the Aid and Attendance benefit, which can be used for medical and nonmedical expenses in long-term care. If you or your loved one served during a wartime, you may be eligible for that or other veteran benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Looking for a local program that can help veterans? The King County Veterans Program works with regional partners to provide financial, employment, housing, and other services to veterans in need of support.

To learn whether a veteran is eligible for these resources, it’s best to contact an organization local to Seattle that can walk you through the process. For instance, the Washington State Department Veterans Affairs connects veterans to their earned benefits and services. The Disabled American Veterans organization has a Seattle chapter, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion Department of Washington can assist with eligibility, claims, and appeals.

Seattle Medicaid for nursing homes

Known as Apple Health in Washington, Medicaid will fund some aspects of skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care facilities. However, it is limited.

For those who meet eligibility requirements, Medicaid covers all nursing home care provided in a Medicaid nursing facility.

When it comes to assisted living, Medicaid covers some costs of care in facilities that are licensed in Washington and accept Medicaid; coverage is provided through one of three service packages. Medicaid also covers in-home care through the Home and Community-Based Services Waiver (HCBS) program. This program allows Washington to use Medicaid for assisted living residents.

Medicaid will fund memory care costs depending on seniors’ needs and income. Similarly, it covers in-home care through the HCBS program. There’s also the Specialized Dementia Care Program, which Washington uses to support individuals with dementia who can’t live at home.

Several programs in Seattle are on hand to help navigate the eligibility and claims process. The Aging and Long-Term Support Administration is a valuable resource for support while looking for the appropriate care option. Washington’s local ombudsman is also a vital resource to have on hand if you have questions or concerns about the facility you have chosen. Washington’s Community Living Connections Network exists to help connect residents to any program or benefits that could be helpful to their situation.

Medicare nursing home coverage in Seattle

Federal health insurance, Medicare, is available to people over the age of 65. Because Medicare doesn’t cover custodial care outside of a nursing home setting, it can only be used for certain medical services. As such, it can only fund short-term stays at skilled nursing facilities when a doctor determines them to be medically necessary.

Medicare Part A covers short-term skilled nursing care if a qualifying patient has days left on their benefit period and has had a three-day stay at a hospital. If these conditions as well as other factors are met, Medicare will cover things like physical and occupational therapy and medical supplies.

Because Medicare doesn’t cover rent or general living expenses, you can’t use it to cover room and board at an assisted living or memory care facility. Still, it does provide limited support. You can use Medicare to cover medical costs, such as physician visits, pharmaceuticals, and hospital stays.

The Medicare Savings Program can help seniors offset Medicare fees and deductibles. It is actually a program you have to apply for through Washington’s Apple Health (Medicaid). The Pharmaceutical Assistance Program can help eligible seniors pay for prescriptions. Some seniors will qualify for the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) that can help eligible seniors with various daily needs. Generally, seniors who dually qualify for Medicare and Medicaid may be eligible for PACE.

For questions about using Medicare to fund skilled nursing, assisted living, or memory care facilities, the Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) in Washington offers free and confidential assistance with Medicare queries. For additional support, Seattle residents can contact the local Social Security Administration. For advocacy and support, Washington’s ombudsman is on hand to help explain and assist.

Understand Washington laws and regulations for nursing homes

Skilled nursing facility regulations

In Washington, skilled nursing facilities must be licensed by the state and are regulated at a federal level by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

On the state level, the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) regulates nursing homes in Washington. This organization is responsible for performing inspections, which are available on the DSHS website’s nursing home locator. Inspections are broad but include ensuring a registered nurse is on duty at all times, an appropriate staff ratio to residents, and that residents get at least 3.4 hours a day of direct care.[04] Federal law requires the state to conduct full inspections, unannounced, at least every 15 months.[05]

For additional information on skilled nursing facility regulations in Washington, the following resources are also available:

Assisted living facility regulations

In Washington, assisted living facilities must also be licensed by the DSHS. To become licensed, an assisted living facility must complete an application; meet certain health, safety, and comfort requirements; and be inspected by a DSHS surveyor. The facility will be inspected regularly to ensure it continually meets the department’s criteria.

You can find these inspection reports on the Washington State DSHS website. You can type in a ZIP code, the city name, or the name of a specific facility in the search box. PDFs of the reports will then be available for download. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can also request inspection reports and licenses here. You can also report any complaints or violations.

Memory care facility regulations

Memory care facilities in Washington must be licensed as assisted living facilities by the DSHS. This means a facility must complete an application, meet certain requirements, and be regularly inspected. DSHS will ensure compliance with state regulations. Requests for inspection reports and licensing can be made via the DSHS website. You can also look them up here by clicking on  “advanced ALF search.” then searching by county, city, or ZIP code, and — finally — by selecting “Dementia Care” under “Specific Criteria.”

What requirements do memory care facilities need to meet? According to this policy, facilities must meet certain standards in regard to staffing, medication management, safety and security, and resident care. For example, staff members at memory care facilities must have dementia care training. Additionally, these facilities must have individualized resident care plans, including specialized programming and activities designed for people with memory impairments.

The following links provide additional information on laws and regulations around assisted living and memory care facilities:

COVID-19 regulations for Seattle nursing homes

Washington has rescinded many of its state COVID-19 guidelines to better align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. However, like many long-term care facilities, nursing homes follow guidelines from the Washington Department of Health and the CDC.

Single icon image

Vaccinations. Guidelines recommend that staff and residents are vaccinated and up-to-date on boosters.

Single icon image

Masking. It is recommended that staff wear well-fitted masks, like the N95 mask, and eye protection where appropriate.

Single icon image

Facility cleanliness. Dedicated medical equipment must be used on residents who are suspected or have a confirmed case of COVID-19. Additionally, routine cleaning, disinfection of surfaces, and optimized ventilation and filtration are recommended.

Quarantining. Staff should only move residents who have COVID-19 from their rooms when it is medically necessary.

What to expect from nursing homes in Seattle

In Seattle, nursing homes, assisted living, memory care facilities trend toward upscale, luxury living. Residents will enjoy mild summers, scenic views, and the benefits of urban life.

Amenities and services will vary depending on the senior living option you or your loved one pick. In the following sections, we’ll go over what to expect from each type of facility in Seattle as well as which requirements you may encounter.

Understanding skilled nursing

While many people use the term “nursing home” to discuss any senior living option, government agencies use the term to refer to skilled nursing care. Skilled nursing facilities primarily focus on care for people with significant health conditions. They provide hands-on care services like physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, wound care, intravenous therapy, injections, and medical equipment and vitals monitoring.

A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with any nursing homes. However, we do partner with 153 assisted living and memory care communities in Seattle. These facilities may be a better fit for you or your loved one.

What assisted living and memory care communities are like in Seattle

Assisted living and memory care is a more appropriate senior living choice for people who are able to live more independently.

In terms of care, seniors at assisted living or memory care facilities benefit from typical services like housekeeping, personal care, meal preparation, scheduled social outings, medication management, and more. Some combination facilities may also offer skilled nursing services or a skilled nursing wing.

When it comes to amenities and activities, many facilities offer enclosed walking spaces, stretching classes, and yoga or chair yoga for some on-site physical activity. Group spaces, such as libraries, courtyards, and game rooms, give residents places to socialize. Dining is also a provided amenity, and most facilities offer specialized diets for those who need it. For example, almost all of our in network facilities offer vegetarian dining options. If you have a beloved cat or small dog, more than half of the facilities in our partner communities offer pet-friendly services, too.
