What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sumner
Sumner is a partly farmed/partly wooded bright spot on the road north into Seattle, not far from Puyallup on I-5. Nearly 14% of Sumner's 10,000 people are seniors aged 65 and over, with just three assisted living facilities inside the city limits to serve them. Like all residential care facilties in the state, Sumner's assisted living facilities are inspected, licensed and regulated by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services Aging and Long-Term Support Administration.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sumner
- The weather in Sumner is cool and mild in summer, but conditions can get cold and wet in winter. The area north of Puyallup sees summer high temperatures of 78 degrees, and winter lows that average 33. The pine forest that surrounds Sumner gets over 40 inches of rain a year, which can raise pollen and become an issue in spring for seniors with asthma.
- The cost of living in Sumner is high by national standards, but not exceptional for Washington State. Seniors pay an average of 31% more for common expenses in Sumner. One exception to this is healthcare, which is 20% less expensive in Sumner than the average cost nationwide.
- Crime rates in Sumner are somewhat high. Seniors in Sumner live with a combined property and violent crime rate that's over 33% higher than the national average for a town of this size, though the numbers are weighted somewhat more toward theft and vandalism than the more serious offenses.
- Sound Transit operates much of the public transportation in Sumner. Seniors can pay their discount fares with the same ORCA card that works on Everett Transit, King County Metro, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Seattle Streetcar, the King County Water Taxi, and Washington State Ferries. Sound Transit vehicles are all ADA-compliant for riders with limited mobility.
- The Sumner area is home to world-class medical facilities, including MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Puyallup is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
