QUESTIONS FAMILIES OFTEN ASK

We're here to help with what matters most.

Do you accept Medicaid from day one?

Yes. The Cambridge is proud to be one of the few senior living communities in the area that accepts Medicaid from day one for qualifying residents. Our team is here to help guide families through the process and answer questions about eligibility and next steps.

What is included in assisted living pricing?

Pricing may vary depending on the apartment type and level of support needed, but assisted living generally includes:

  • Personalized daily support
  • Medication management
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Meals and dining services
  • Wellness programs and activities
  • Maintenance and utilities
  • Access to community spaces and events

We are happy to walk you through options during a personalized pricing conversation.

Can residents have pets?

We understand how important pets can be as companions. Pet accommodations may be available depending on the resident’s living arrangement and the pet’s needs. We encourage families to contact our team to discuss specific situations.

What happens during move-in?

Our team works closely with residents and families to make the transition feel smooth and welcoming. Before move-in, we help coordinate paperwork, room preparation, and care planning. On move-in day, staff are available to assist with settling in and helping residents feel comfortable in their new home.

What care levels are available?

The Cambridge offers both assisted living and retirement living options. Residents who need help with activities of daily living receive personalized support in the assisted living community, while independent seniors may choose either assisted living as an independent resident or a retirement cottage. Each option is designed for seniors who value comfort, support, privacy, and nearby community connections. 


Can family visit anytime?

Family connection is an important part of life at The Cambridge. Visitors are welcome, and we encourage loved ones to stay involved in the resident experience. For specific visiting guidance or event schedules, our team is always happy to help.

How do I start the process?

The best first step is to schedule a conversation or tour with our team. We’ll take time to understand your needs, answer questions, discuss care options, and help guide you through the next steps at a comfortable pace.

Are meals included?

Yes. Residents enjoy freshly prepared meals served in a welcoming dining environment. Menus are designed to provide comfort, nutrition, and variety while creating opportunities for social connection and shared experiences.

Is transportation available?

Transportation support may be available for appointments, outings, and community activities. Availability can vary, so we encourage families to contact us directly for current transportation options and scheduling details.

What makes The Cambridge different?

The Cambridge offers a smaller, more personal environment where residents are truly known by name. As part of Central Columbia Senior Living, a Washington nonprofit organization, the focus remains on community, dignity, and compassionate care rather than corporate ownership. Families often describe The Cambridge as warm, welcoming, and genuinely home-like.
