Assisted Living Placement in Everett & Snohomish County
Assisted living is for a senior who is still fairly independent but wants help with meals, medications, housekeeping, and the comfort of people around. It is a larger community setting with more residents, activities, and amenities, and it typically costs more than an adult family home. We help you find one that fits your parent's personality, not just their budget.

What we handle for you
From the first call through move-in and after, here is what our help covers.
Vetted communities
We tour the assisted living communities near you and tell you honestly which ones feel warm and which feel institutional.
Tours and questions
We come along or tour for you, and we know the questions that reveal whether a community is well run.
Paperwork and move-in
We help with the admissions process and the move so it does not fall entirely on you.
Follow-up
We check in after the move. If the community is not the right fit, we help you find another at no cost.
Required step, paid separately
Nurse assessment before move-in
Every adult family home requires a nurse assessment before move-in. The first one usually costs $300 to $500, and an updated assessment is required every year, usually $150 to $250. You pay the nurse directly, never Golden Haven, and some adult family homes cover the cost, so ask Valeri and she'll check for you. If your loved one is on Medicaid, the assessment and yearly updates are covered, so there's nothing to pay.
Questions about your situation? Talk to Valeri. It's free.

Questions families ask
About this type of care
Assisted living is a larger community, often 30 to 100 or more residents, with private apartments and group dining and activities. An adult family home is a small house with 6 to 8 residents and more hands-on, personal care. Assisted living suits a more independent senior; an adult family home suits someone who needs more help. We help you decide which fits.
Many assisted living communities have a separate secured memory care wing for residents whose dementia progresses. One advantage of assisted living is that your loved one may be able to stay in the same community as their needs change. We look for communities with a good memory care program if that matters for your family.
Base rent in our area averages about $8,300 a month, and care fees are added on top as needs grow. Assisted living is a larger community setting with more residents and, often, more amenities and activities. Cost varies by community, apartment type, and the level of care your loved one needs. Many communities charge a base rent plus add-on fees as care needs increase. Once we know the care level, we give you honest, current ranges for the communities that fit. Our help is free to families. See full cost breakdown.
