A senior living advisor is a local expert who helps seniors and their families navigate the often overwhelming process of finding the right senior living community. At Senior Spaces NW, our advisors take the time to understand your loved one's needs, preferences, and budget. We then match them with the best assisted living, memory care, or adult family home options in the Seattle area. Best of all, our service is completely free to families.

Not all. However, that's intentional. We only recommend communities that meet our standards.
We verify standing with DSHS and personally visit the homes we refer families to. We work with a wide range of local assisted living, memory care, and adult family home options, always focused on finding the right fit for your needs, preferences, and budget.

Assisted living communities are designed for seniors who need some help with daily activities like meals, medication, and personal care, but who still want to maintain independence in a home like setting. Nursing homes, also called skilled nursing facilities provide a higher level of medical care for seniors with complex health needs who require around the clock supervision. Not sure which applies to your situation? That's exactly what we're here to help you figure out.
-
The cost of assisted living in the Seattle area varies greatly depending on the community, location, level of care, and room type. Adult family homes are often a more affordable alternative, while memory care communities may cost more due to specialized staffing. Senior Spaces NW helps families understand all of their options and find communities that fit their budget.
