Assisted living in Chehalis, WA
2 licensed communities, listed alphabetically. Washington publishes that it issued an inspection document, not how serious the finding was, so nothing here is ranked by one.
Memory care isn’t marked here — because the state doesn’t publish it.
Washington State’s licensing file carries no memory-care or dementia-unit designation, so we cannot tell you which of these communities has one. There certainly are memory-care communities in this state — we just have no authoritative list of them, and we won’t guess from a community’s name. Ask any community directly whether it runs a secured dementia unit, and ask your Long-Term Care Ombudsman ↗ which local communities take dementia residents.

What it costs around here
Median private-pay cost, CareScout (Genworth) 2025 Cost of Care Survey — a regional midpoint, not any single community’s rate. Private rooms and higher care levels cost more; ask for a current quote. Project your own in the cost-of-care planner.
† Memory care is our estimate, not survey data: CareScout does not survey memory care, so we take the assisted-living median for the state and add $1,200/month — the typical secured-dementia-unit premium. It is a planning figure with no state-level detail behind it, and real memory-care pricing varies far more than that. Treat it as a starting point and ask the community for its own memory-care rate.
Estimated cost range · regional
In Washington, assisted living typically runs about $6,100–$9,100/month.
This is a regional estimate modeled from published survey data (the CareScout/Genworth state median, ±20%) — not this community’s actual price, which it sets privately. Ask the community for its current all-in monthly rate and what each care level adds.
Paying with Medicaid
Washington Medicaid can help pay for assisted living — through a waiver, not through regular Medicaid.
The Washington waiver that can pay for it:
- COPES Waiver — covers in-home care / adult family home / assisted living / adult day care
In Washington: apply or check eligibility ↗ or call 877-501-2233.
A waiver pays for care, not for rent. Even where the state covers assisted-living services, room and board is still the resident’s to pay. Full eligibility limits — income, assets, the look-back — are on our Washington Medicaid page.
