Assisted Living in Vancouver, WA (2026): Posted Prices & State Inspection Reports

13 Vancouver communities are certified by DSHS to care for people with dementia: Brookdale Vancouver Stonebridge, Bonaventure of Salmon Creek, Bonaventure of Vancouver, Cogir at the Quarry, Cogir of Glenwood Place, Cogir Vancouver Orchards, Highgate Senior Living, The Springs at The Waterfront, Touchmark at Fairway Village, The Hampton Alzheimers Community, The Hampton at Salmon Creek Memory Care Community, White Oak Village Memory Care Community, Windsor Gardens Memory Care.

Certified memory care units must tell you their staffing, including whether caregivers are awake overnight. Ask for it with their services form, DSHS 10-351. More in our memory care cost guide.

Inspections are full surprise visits by Washington DSHS, roughly every 15 to 18 months. The PDF is a "Statement of Deficiencies": each item names the rule broken (a WAC number) and what inspectors saw. No PDF for a recent year can mean no problems were cited.

Investigations are complaint visits. A report is posted when an inspector checked a complaint; read it to see whether the complaint was confirmed.

Enforcement letters are the serious ones: civil fines, stop-placement orders (no new residents), or conditions on the license. A letter does not always mean a fine; open it to see.

Fire inspections are from the State Fire Marshal and cover sprinklers, alarms and exits.

Look for repeat problems in the same area (medications, falls, staffing) across more than one report. One old, fixed item matters less than a pattern.
