Two kinds of assisted living in Covington
Both are licensed by Washington as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Washington words these licenses as “Adult Family Home” (11), “Assisted Living Facility” (3).

Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
