What to Consider About Assisted Living in Issaquah
The historic town of Issaquah, Washington, was named after a local Native American whose name meant “the sound of birds.” The town eventually became the home of a coal mining community. Today there are 3,875 seniors living in Issaquah, some of whom might need assistance with daily activities. To house and support these seniors, there are three assisted living facilities within the city limits and another 26 located in the surrounding areas.
As is the case in all of Washington, Issaquah’s assisted living facilities are licensed by the Aging and Long-Term Support Administration Department of the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Issaquah
- Washington does not tax Social Security benefits, pensions or retirement savings account income which might help Issaquah seniors have more money available to spend on entertainment or facility expenses.
-
ORCA LIFT is an affordable transportation service available to Issaquah residents. In order to take advantage of this low-cost transit program, residents must meet financial criteria and have an ORCA LIFT Card. Seniors who are 65 and older can also get a Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) card which will allow them to access the various transit systems in the area at reduced rates.
- Issaquah has a very high cost of living at 203.9, more than twice as high as the U.S. average of 100. Seniors with restrictive budgets might find that other locations within Washington are more affordable.
- Issaquah has a violent crime rating of 7.8, much lower than the national average of 22.7; and a property crime rating of 42.9, slightly higher than the 35.4 U.S. average. Despite the lower violent crime rate, local seniors may want to travel in groups, keep an eye on their surroundings, and ensure that all vehicle doors are locked when traveling the city.
- The Issaquah area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Swedish Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Issaquah has comfortable year-round temperatures with July highs reaching 75 degrees and winter lows rarely dropping below 36. The city gets 58 inches of rain annually on average, and a mere eight inches of snow. Seniors who enjoy watching the seasons change but still prefer moderate temperatures may love living in this city.
