Assisted Living Resources: Kent, Washington
Situated between Tacoma and Seattle, Kent has been named one of the “Best Places to Live” by local magazines, due in part to their cultural awareness and diversity. For instance, the Give Me Culture program was set up by the City of Kent to provide grants to people who come up with creative ideas that introduce culture to community events. Similarly, the residents of Kent strive to pull people together. Throughout the year, the city hosts festivals, parades, and volunteer events get people out of their homes and onto the streets to socialize, have fun, and stay healthy as a community.
We’re also huge fans of Kent’s Senior Activity Center. It sets itself apart from other centers in the area because it places a huge value on learning new skills or hobbies, like mixed media art and creative writing. For a breath of fresh air, one doesn’t have to walk far, either: there are plenty of splendorous parks and open spaces to enjoy the environment. Kent is currently undertaking even more plans for new recreational parks and activities; showcasing plans for the city online.
