READ MOREWith fees averaging $4,805 per month, seniors are likely to find Olympia’s assisted living facilities more affordable. Yakima’s median of $4,975 is the only fee that comes close, but it’s still another $170 per month (or $2,040 when calculated annually). Median fees in other nearby cities are much higher, such as Longview ($5,300), Bremerton ($5,750) and Seattle ($6,750).

Olympia’s median fee of $4,805 is $305 more per month than the U.S. average but is significantly more affordable than Washington’s norm of $6,000. Seniors may find costlier and more affordable facilities in Olympia, as multiple factors determine fees, particularly location and amenities provided.Â
Seniors looking for financial assistance for assisted living in Olympia can apply through three Medicaid programs: the Medicaid Personal Care (MPC) program, the Community First Choice Option (CFCO) program and the Washington Medical COPES (Community Options Program Entry System) Waiver, Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid Waiver. These programs provide financial support for personal care assistance and costs other than room and board.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Washington page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

Adult day health care’s monthly fee of $1,625 is the most affordable in Olympia, which is expected as services are non-medical and don’t include accommodation. Assisted living provides the same services, as well as a comfortable room, three meals per day and social activities, which reflects its median fee of $4,805. In-home care and home health care deliver non-medical and medical services, respectively, for the same average fee of $6,673. This is significantly more than assisted living and doesn’t include the senior’s home maintenance costs

| Washington State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (800) 562-6028 | The purpose of the Washington State Long-Term Ombudsman Program is to support and protect the residents of licensed senior care facilities, educate them about their rights and promote greater standards among care providers. Its ombudsmen are trained volunteers who investigate complaints in confidence and attempt to resolve them with facilities through negotiation. Occasionally, an ombudsman may refer a complaint to an appropriate authority if they suspect criminal behavior, such as elder abuse. |
| Olympia Senior Center | (360) 586-6181 | Seniors Services of South Sound is a nonprofit dedicated to helping the region's older residents. It manages two seniors centers, including one in Olympia. For a small membership fee, both centers offer life enriching programs that educate, inform and help seniors maintain their health and fitness. Classes include seated Zumba, line dancing, yoga and tai chi. There are also TED Talks, language classes and instructions on using the latest tech gadgets. |
| RSVP of Lewis, Mason and Thurston Counties | (360) 943-2773 | The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) brings together adults aged 55+ who want to volunteer their time with the nonprofits and government agencies that rely on assistance to fulfill their purposes. Opportunities for volunteers can vary, some utilizing their existing skills and others requiring training. Common opportunities include teaching English to immigrants, delivering meals to homebound seniors and mentoring the community's younger members. |
| Olympia VA Clinic | (253) 583-2621 | Olympia VA Clinic is an outpatient medical facility delivering primary care and mental health care services to veterans and their dependents. It also specializes in social work, nutritional support and laboratory services. It doesn't offer non-medical care, such as support for PTSD sufferers, but can refer seniors to nearby facilities. The facility is open on weekdays, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. |
The Aging and Long-Term Support Administration, a Washington State Department of Social and Health Services division, licenses the state’s assisted living facilities. Successful license applicants have satisfied the division’s strict criteria on a range of matters, including health and safety, fire safety, and staff training. The division routinely monitors facilities to ensure they continue to comply with license conditions.
Olympia Assisted Living Communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all Assisted Living Facilities in WA are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in WA page for more information about these laws.
