Westminster Manor

Westminster Manor is a senior care center with 60 total units, offering both studio and one-bedroom apartments to anyone 62 and older or disabled persons, and the building itself has an elevator for easy access, along with parking, and all utilities are covered except telephone and cable so you don't have to juggle a lot of separate bills, and you'll notice amenities like washer/dryer hookups in apartments or the community laundry at Firwood Circle, while large patios, broad lawns, a big screen TV in the community room, a gazebo, and a barbecue area make everyday life easier and more sociable for residents. The apartments surround a broad courtyard with a playground and swings, so it feels like a real neighborhood, and if you need help with getting around, the place has a walkability score of 73 out of 100, meaning most errands can be done by foot, plus access to RapidRide E Line and several other public transportation routes. Westminster Manor uses its own unique names for programs like Level Float + Sensory Spa, and services depend on care needs, from independent living for active seniors to fully accessible units with lowered counters and roll-in showers for those needing extra support, and the management office is operated by King County Housing Authority, offering reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. There's a support services coordinator onsite at Green River Homes who arranges social events, outreach, and referrals, and you'll get visits from a nurse once a month. There are specialized care choices here: assisted living services, support with bathing, dressing, meals prepared with quality ingredients to ensure good nutrition, and memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia with safe, secure environments aimed at reducing confusion and wandering. Westminster Manor provides home care with trained aides for companionship and non-medical help, plus there's adult family home care, retirement residence, nursing care, and hospice, including services from Group Health Cooperative and Providence Hospice. The property is near medical facilities like Swedish/Edmonds Hospitals and offers recreational outings and clubs, with Bitter Lake and several parks and recreational areas nearby, and you'll find shopping close at hand, including Kmart, Parkwood Plaza, and Aurora Square Shopping Center. There's a focus on making sure folks stay socially, physically, mentally, and emotionally active through lots of activities-arts and crafts, computer classes, and youth field trips with the help of Burndale Technology Learning Center, plus food assistance from the Auburn Food Bank and summer lunch programs. The apartments have new roofs and thermal windows for comfort and energy savings. Staff here are known to be friendly and kind, happy to help out, and the whole place feels like a big, safe community where support is never far away, whether you live in the independent senior apartments or need more specialized nursing care.
