What to Consider About Memory Care in Kent

Situated just to the south of Seattle, Kent is a large city with a population of just over 128,400. Individuals aged 65 and older make up 11 percent of the population, some of whom have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Located in Washington state which has approximately 110,000 individuals with cognitive impairments, Kent has three memory care facilities located within the city limits and eight in nearby locations like Auburn and Federal Way.

Memory care facilities in Kent and the state of Washington are regulated by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). Due to limited funding, the state contracts with a small number of assisted living facilities to provide a specialized dementia care program for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia who need residential care.

January average lows are around 36 and the city gets around five inches of snow per year.
