Why the real cost is higher than the starting rent

Starting rent is the smallest apartment. Most communities add a monthly care fee based on an assessment. Among the few that post care fees, The Watermark at Bellevue lists assisted living care levels from $700 a month on top of rent. Ask every community for its full charges in writing; Washington law (RCW 70.129.030) requires them before move-in.

210 of Washington's 559 licensed assisted living facilities have no Medicaid contract and take private pay only.
