Assisted Living in Spokane, WA

Seniors looking for assisted living will find a good choice in Spokane, Washington. The city is the second largest in Washington with a population of 203 thousand, and is the center of the Inland Northwest region of the state. The warm, arid summer climate and moist winters make for a pleasant change of scenery throughout the year, and the weather is less violent than in other parts of the state due to the protection of nearby mountains.

Spokane has thriving healthcare and social services industries, so assisted living seniors can feel at ease that their needs can be met. The city also boasts prime cultural and geographic attractions, including the Columbia River Gorge, Glacier National Park, and the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture. Residents of assisted living facilities enjoy trips to the Spokane Symphony Orchestra and the local Civic Theater, as well as the Bing Crosby Theater (Bing Crosby was a resident).

There is no shortage of outdoor activities for seniors--the city has 75 parks, including Riverfront Park and the John A. Finch Arboretum. There is also a farmers market with nutritional food for seniors. Assisted living homes often take their residents on trips to these scenic locations to enjoy a pleasant day outdoors.

When looking around Spokane for senior apartments, be sure to consider the proximity to family and health care centers, as well the options for transportation. Assisted living homes sometimes provide transportation for their residents, but it's always best to have family or friends nearby. Also consider the professionalism of the staff and whether they will be able to meet the care needs of your loved one. If these are taken into account, Spokane will offer many respectable options for assisted living.
