Madison House, Kirkland’s first retirement community serving seniors for more than 35 years, will be passing on their legacy to family owned Koelsch Senior Communities April 1. Koelsch Senior Communities, family-owned and operated since 1958, currently has twenty communities in six states, specializing in independent, assisted living and memory care.
“We are really proud of Madison House and feel that our family run company, with a long legacy serving seniors, is the perfect fit for the Kirkland community,” CEO Aaron Koelsch said. “We are combining the best that our communities offer in addition to features that are unique to Madison House. We have developed a $3.5 million enhancement plan to the exterior, interior common areas and residential apartments and will be adding new programming including 24 hour licensed nursing staff, which is a hallmark of Koelsch Senior Communities. Our unique location next to EvergreenHealth hospital and other cutting edge medical facilities is perfect. The location, along with spacious apartments, full kitchens, elegant restaurant-style dining, plus swimming pool, and on-site therapy program, will assure that residents will continue to find Madison House the perfect fit for their senior living choice.”

“Our team is dedicated, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for our aging population.” Koelsch said. “We have been caring for people since 1958 and we are committed to dignity, respect and the highest standards of service for our residents. We are ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.”
