It's not uncommon for seniors and their family members to lump all Mercer Island senior living options under the category of Mercer Island “nursing homes,” similar to the way “Kleenex” is used to describe all tissues. The reality is much more nuanced, however. Assisted living and nursing homes in Mercer Island, Washington, differ significantly, particularly regarding the level of care provided and the average cost.

The Koelsch Difference
Assisted living communities like Koelsch offer independence and autonomy with the right touch of care for seniors who need some assistance with daily tasks, such as meal preparation or medication management.
Is a skilled nursing facility really
what you need?
Most skilled nursing facilities provide comprehensive, round-the-clock medical care and supervision for individuals with significant health issues requiring long-term care. This more in-depth level of service is reflected in nursing home costs in Mercer Island being higher than the costs of an assisted living community.
Suppose you or your loved one requires the right touch of care with daily activities rather than constant medical care. In that case, Koesch's assisted living communities will likely prove to be a more financially and personally suitable lifestyle choice than a nursing home.
