Royal Columbian offers many different room options, including studios, one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom semi-private rooms, and single units, with some that are pet-friendly if residents want to bring a small friend with them, and you can see a variety of furnished and unfurnished options. Meals are included-there's a food committee that helps work with the kitchen, so residents tend to agree that the food's got a good reputation for being filling and varied, always served restaurant-style, with several choices at each meal, which does help save on time and grocery expenses for everyone. There's a comforting, down-home feeling here, the kind you'd expect from a place where the staff has worked together for a long time and makes an effort to call residents by name and treat them like family, with a steady presence of an executive director running things.
With 120 licensed beds and both assisted and independent living options, this community is licensed by the state and Washington Medicaid certified, and is currently verified through regular licensing reviews. The staff, including registered nurses seven days a week, stays on-site 24/7 to help with medication, blood sugar checks, memory care, and daily needs like bathing, dressing, and transferring from bed to wheelchair, and for anyone needing end-of-life support, they also provide hospice care. Royal Columbian serves adults 55 and up, including those who need memory care for Alzheimer's, and they do things like weekly spiritual services both on and off-site if that's important, and social activities are always happening to keep people moving and talking, both indoors and out.
Residents find the place easy to navigate, with a secure environment for those at risk of wandering, common areas inside and out to gather in, a beautician on-site, and a medical alert and intercom system linking each apartment to the nurses' station in case of an emergency. There's transportation available for appointments or outings and the apartments have Wi-Fi. The living arrangements are all-inclusive, so the meals, activities, housekeeping, laundry, and trash removal get handled for a set price, and respite care is possible if you just want a short stay. They've won awards for their care and friendliness, and reviews show families rate Royal Columbian well, with an overall score of 7.7. The community is owned by Greenlake Senior Living and has strong ties to online tools like Facebook and Meta, so families and friends can keep in touch or follow updates easily if they like. Tours are welcome, and you can get a feel for the inviting, homelike atmosphere, the staff's friendly support, and the regular schedule of activities aimed at making life full and connected for everyone who lives there.
