Staff Accountant/Bookkeeper
About us
Longhouse® was founded in 2017 to create smaller, “human scale” communities for seniors that combine the comforts of a real home with comprehensive assisted living and memory care services. We believe that in senior living, smaller is better. Matthew Long, the founder of Longhouse, attended University of Washington, where he earned Bachelor and Master Degrees (1997). In 2009, after talking with thousands of seniors, he was determined to provide a counterbalance to all the forces that pull seniors out of home environments. He founded Husky Senior Care (2009) to help seniors stay at home and Longhouse (2017) in case they can’t stay at home. This ecosystem provides seniors with household options no matter what.
