A change in the admission policy to two retirement communities that are partnered with the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Retirement Association will benefit the parents of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRA members.


Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRA parents now have admission priority over non-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRA members at affiliated retirement communities. The communities – University House at Wallingford and University House at Issaquah, which is currently under construction – are run by ERA Care Communities.


Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRA members will continue to have first priority for admission. But the new policy grants parents, parents-in-law, stepparents, and stepparents-in-law admission priority immediately after Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRA members. Additionally, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRA parents will pay just half the admission fee that is charged to non-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRA members. The fee is waived altogether for members.


Both communities offer independent living and assisted living options and feature programming with academic and health-conscious emphases. Residents pay monthly for room, board and other amenities. University House at Wallingford maintains a waiting list and University House at Issaquah is now accepting depositors.


All permanent Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ faculty and staff can join Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRA. More information about memberships is available by calling (206) 543-8600 or by sending e-mail to retiremt@u.washington.edu. For more information about the retirement facilities contact ERA Care Communities at (206) 625-1515.
