What to Consider About Assisted Living in Spanaway

For a small town, Spanaway, Washington, has a lot for the area’s 27,227 residents, including the senior population of 2,497, to do, such as visiting Old McDebbie’s Farm, spending some time at Debbie DoLittle’s Indoor Petting Zoo, riding on the Gig Harbor Gondola, or visiting the area museums. The city also has a Fantasy Lights display at Spanaway Lake every holiday season.

Seniors who are thinking about assisted living have three facilities to choose from in Spanaway, with 21 more located in the nearby towns of Tacoma, Puyallup and University Place. In Spanaway and in all of Washington, these facilities are governed by The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Spanaway

  • Spanaway’s property crime rating at 51.2, much higher than the national average of 35.4, might be a deterrent for family members hoping to relocate to the area to be closer to a loved one in assisted living. The city’s violent crime rating is only 16.3, considerably lower than the national average of 22.7, which may help seniors feel more comfortable when visiting area attractions.
