Washington Oakes was a beautiful place, but I don't think that is a place for me. I met a lot of people, but I didn't feel like there was enough of the people who live there that were walking around or out and about. I just felt like maybe people stay in their rooms a lot now, especially for the virus. I think everybody cannot be milling around very much. I didn't feel like there was a lot of social things going on, and that's what I need. I need some socialization. The staff was excellent, and she took us around the whole place. We were there for almost two hours. They had exercise rooms, a gym, a big room that you can use for weddings and so forth, and there was storage for each person outside their own rooms. The dining room was beautiful, and the menu looked wonderful. I didn't feel like there was enough of an outside area where you would think that people would be going to sit outside, because it was a sunny day, but maybe they cannot do face-to-face because of the virus. It was very nice and very clean, and the rooms were beautiful, and a lot of them had windows that you could actually look out somewhere else, even though I would still like an outside area where you can meet people besides the dining room. Everybody was great. The food was excellent. I was so amazed with the food. I think I'd like to live there just to eat, and they had a wonderful chef. It was well laid out and the hallways were all connected. Because there's more than one building, you can walk from one to the other. The elevators were excellent and clean.

Our tour at Washington Oakes was fine. It was professional and knowledgeable. The place was beautiful and immaculate. It's a good location in a very walkable neighborhood. The community is large; there three large buildings. The rooms are clean. It's classy and very nice. It's overall very positive, but it's just too big, too confusing, and too overwhelming for my dad. It would have been where I chose to live if it had been up to me.

My husband and I are at Aegis of Lynnwood. So far, so good. My husband says he's comfortable except for lockdown. We can't get out and go in the community without going back into quarantine, and it's more due to the COVID thing than anything else. We have a one-bedroom apartment with outdoor access and a patio. The staff is pretty good. The food is well planned, well cooked, and very good. We have various activities and I attend some of them, but not all. They try very hard for us.

It was very nice. The people were very helpful, giving advice even if it was just in general, beyond placing my mother there. The whole experience was very good. We saw two apartments, one was respite care because we had talked about having Mom go there for a while. It probably had the most realistic furniture in respite care. The other one was a model, and there was a lot of space for a studio. The particular one we saw had its own balcony, so that was very nice. I saw an outside area, which was average compared to other places I've seen. It was nice, but some places have more of a garden feel. This one was more like a patio. It's in a very urban area off of Highway 99.

It has been great. My father really likes it. I have no complaints. His room is just a studio with a little kitchenette, a counter with a sink, a place for a microwave, ample closet space, and an enclosed patio. They have a full calendar of activities. The staff is very professional, attentive, and helpful. I have no problems. It is independent living, although they have caregivers on-staff that help with medication, bathing, and whatever they need. They have a little chapel, laundry facilities, a movie area where they have a big screen TV with couches, and a library.

My mother is in Pacifica Senior Living Lynnwood. She has had some issues, but the facility seems to be pretty good. She keeps her room totally clean. They do some exercises, cards, dominos, movies, and bingo. The staff seems to be present and willing to help and do whatever they need to do.

Pacifica has the pod design. For somebody who likes to be part of a group, it would work well because everybody tends to gather into a common area in front of each one of the units. However, with my father, who is independent, it is not going to match. He is not somebody to sit out there and be part of a large social group every day. Also it is farther away from the Seattle location where we really wanted to be. The layout wasn't quite what we were looking for, but it was a nice community.

Brookdale Silver Lake is wonderful. My husband's room is clean, warm and nice. He's out with everybody and they're keeping him busy. The staff is very good and they all seem to like working. The food is pretty good. They have a town square where they meet a couple times a day and they have television rooms. They have dining rooms and there were four persons to a table. They take them out on outings.

Pacifica Senior Living Lynnwood was a small community. I liked the socialization possibilities and how available it was and how easy it would be to mix with other residents there. They have mothers and nannies bring babies to come and service dogs come and interact with the people. They talked about day trips to go whale watching, and they have music, puzzles, and a big television in their great room.
According to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care study, assisted living costs in Snohomish County ($5,125) are comparable to the state average of $5,135 but considerably more expensive than the national average ($4,000). Costs here are the third highest in the state, topped by only the Bremerton area ($5,720) and Seattle ($5,750). The smaller city of Walla Walla is close behind at $4,950. Spokane ($4,000) and Wenatchee ($4,125) are exceptions to the high statewide cost trend.
Note: Senior care cost data wasn’t available for Snohomish County, so data for the closest city, Mount Vernon, was used.
When considering senior care options, it’s important to weigh factors that influence cost such as the level of care and included services. In Snohomish County, homemaker services and home health aides cost significantly more per month than assisted living ($700). These types of care don’t include rent, home maintenance or food. Nursing home care is the most expensive option, with an average monthly cost about 75% higher than assisted living and in-home services.
Medicaid, the national health care program for low-income Americans of all ages, is available to eligible Snohomish County seniors. Called Apple Health, the program is administered by the Washington Department of Social and Health Services.
Adults age 64 or younger are eligible for Medicaid if they have a yearly income of $17,232 or less ($23,340 for couples) and are U.S. citizens and Washington state residents.
Seniors age 65 and older may qualify for the Aged, Blind or Disabled Medicaid category, which has a lower income limit of $771 per month ($1,157 for couples). Income from all sources counts, including wages, alimony, IRA payments, SSI and SSDI benefits.
According to the American Council on Aging, both age groups are limited to $2,000 or less in assets ($3,000 for couples). A number of assets are disregarded, including burial trusts, furniture, personal effects, one vehicle and a primary residence valued at $585,000 or less.
To apply for Apple Health coverage, call (877) 501-2233 or visit the Washington Connection.
In Snohomish County, seniors eligible for Apple Health coverage who wish to reside in an assisted living facility may qualify for one of four service packages:
Assisted Living
Residents have private apartments and receive occasional nursing services, help with personal care and medication management.
Adult Residential Care
The ARC package provides reminders to assisted living residents who can take their own medication, assistance with personal care and limited supervision.
Enhanced Adult Residential Care
In addition to the services offered by the ARC package, the EARC package provides medication administration and occasional nursing care.
EARC Specialized Dementia Care Services
Seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia may be eligible for the specialized dementia care program based on a DSHS case manager assessment. This package provides necessary services to ensure a senior’s high quality of life and good physical health including:
Assisted Living Bridge Loan
Seniors transitioning to an assisted living facility may qualify for an Elderlife Financial bridge loan to help cover the cost until benefits begin or their home sells. These loans offer 12-month repayment terms and disbursement options including a lump-sum payment or line of credit. Online and phone applications are often approved and funds made available within one business day.
To learn more, contact Elderlife Financial at (888) 245-4500.
Veterans Aid and Attendance and Housebound Benefits
Snohomish County veterans who need assistance from another person or are housebound may qualify for Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits to increase their monthly regular pension payments.
To receive A&A benefits, applicants must meet one of the following criteria:
Snohomish County is home to a more than a dozen senior centers that provide a broad spectrum of activities and services for residents age 55 and older. Seniors can join a Zumba or tai chi class to stay fit or receive a massage, acupuncture treatment or foot care to enhance their well-being. There are wellness and nutrition programs, support groups, workshops, art and book clubs, group outings and enjoyable activities ranging from bingo to table tennis. Services and programs are either free or available for a nominal fee.

In addition to sourcing information for the many services offered, AAA provides personal and legal counseling and oversees a volunteer program that furnishes in-home assistance and transportation.
