Answers for families

Choosing care raises a lot of questions. Here are the ones we hear most, and we're always glad to answer more by phone.

Frequently asked questions

What is an adult family home?

An adult family home is a residential home, licensed by Washington State, that provides room, board, and personal care for a small number of residents, up to six. It offers a homelike alternative to large assisted living facilities or nursing homes.

How is it different from assisted living?

Assisted living facilities are large and serve many residents. An adult family home cares for only a few residents in an actual house, which means far more personal attention, stronger relationships, and a true family atmosphere.

What conditions do you accept?

We support a wide range of needs including Alzheimer's and dementia, stroke recovery, Parkinson's, diabetes, mental health, developmental disabilities, and more. The best way to know if we're the right fit is a quick phone call.

Do you accept Medicaid?

We work with several payment options and may accept Medicaid depending on availability, alongside private pay, VA benefits, and long-term care insurance. Please call us to discuss your specific situation.

How many residents do you care for?

We care for up to 6 residents at a time. Keeping our home small is intentional. It's what allows us to give each person individualized, attentive care.

What is the staff-to-resident ratio?

Because we serve only a small number of residents, our caregiver-to-resident ratio is far higher than large facilities, with 24-hour care and supervision.

Can families visit anytime?

Yes. Family involvement is important to us, and we warmly welcome visits. We'll work with you on the best times so visits are comfortable for your loved one.
