One look around the iconic Ida Culver House Ravenna, and there’s a good chance you will see some familiar faces. Our retirement community includes many local residents who have a deep connection to the neighborhood’s inspiring heritage. Our community’s name carries forth the legacy of its pioneer, Ms. Ida Culver, who originally created a home for retired teachers. Today, Ida Culver House is home to residents of varied backgrounds and locales.
Set in the heart of Ravenna, residents enjoy the charming neighborhood’s tree-lined streets and the lovely shops and cafés. Warmth and energy set the tone at Ida Culver House, where staff and residents feel like family. Life here is all about enjoying comfort and peace of mind in a quaint, well-established Seattle neighborhood.
While we offer plenty of social activities, our in-home assisted living services provide the peace of mind that you can get help with activities of daily living when you need it-- in your original apartment home. And because of our unique partnership with the University of Washington School of Nursing, residents benefit from innovative wellness and active aging programs.
Our Community Health Director and supporting team provide professional and compassionate assisted living services in the privacy and comfort of your own apartment home.
