Anderson House

Information may not be reliable

A remarkable business exists in this community, with an equally remarkable family at its helm. It is amazing in this day of reported corporate greed, where all decisions seem to be predicated by the bottom line, that in a quiet community just north of Seattle, Washington, there are four people running a company who care deeply about their employees and the community they are a part of. The business is the Anderson House, a retirement, assisted living, skilled nursing home, rehabilitation and adult family home facility.

Employing 175 people, the current ownership consists of Andy Anderson, Pam Matiko and Lisa Lewis. Andy, Pam and Lisa are 3rd generation owners, as well as siblings. In fact, they literally grew up on the Anderson House campus while their parents Larry and Lova ran the business for more than 20 years. Originally established by Bernice and Paul Anderson, grandparents of the current owners, the Anderson House has operated in the same location for 40 years. The Andersons are justifiably proud of their business and the commitment they make to their employees. They offer a strong benefits program, and their staff turnover rate of only 5% is nearly unheard of in today's senior health care market.
