What to Consider About Assisted Living in Edmonds

Residential Care Services, which is part of the wider Aging and Long-Term Support Administration, is responsible for licensing assisted living facilities in Edmonds and throughout Washington. The division ensures facilities adhere to their licensing terms, protects residents’ rights and promotes resident well-being.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Edmonds

  • Edmonds is a relatively expensive city to live in, with the local cost of living more than 50% higher than the national average. It’s also pricier than the statewide average. Housing costs are significantly higher in Edmonds than in many places around the country, rating over 170 points higher than the national average. High housing costs may make assisted living an attractive choice for seniors. Older residents may also qualify for financial assistance through state government programs and city government initiatives.
  • Edmonds has a higher-than-average sales tax. However, Washington does not impose any income tax, including on pensions, retirement account withdrawals, wages and Social Security income. This may help seniors stretch their funds further.
  • Health care is relatively affordable in Edmonds, costing almost 20% less than the U.S. average. This may benefit seniors who require regular hospital care or physician visits. Swedish Edmonds Campus is within city limits and provides comprehensive medical services, including emergency, routine and diagnostic care. The high-ranking UW Medical Center – Northwest is also a short drive away.
  • The local violent crime rate of 9.8 is lower than the U.S. average of 22.7, which may reassure seniors. Property crime rates are 2.6 points higher than the national norm of 35.4, but living in a residential care facility can provide security and peace of mind for seniors and their loved ones.
  • Seniors in Edmonds can benefit from the Regional Reduced Fare Permit program, which provides discounts on regional transportation services for seniors aged 65 and above, Medicare card holders and people with disabilities. Seniors also get heavily discounted rates on Washington State Ferries.
