Loving Adult Family Home sits in a quiet spot in Bothell and has eight licensed beds, so residents get personal care in a cozy setting. The owners are an LPN and an EMT who live on-site, and there are RNs on site or on call at all hours, which gives families some peace of mind about medical needs. People living here have private rooms, private patios, and can eat with family in a private dining area if they want. The home handles a lot of different care needs, including memory care, respite care, hospice, wound care, diabetes management, Parkinson's support, trach tube care, ostomy and catheter care, feeding tubes, dialysis, and help for stroke, heart, depression, and mental health conditions. The staff do things like insulin injections, blood draws, UTI tests, bathing help, dressing assistance, Hoyer lift transfers, tube feeding, and help for people who are bed-bound, visually or hearing impaired, or developmentally disabled.
Residents follow care plans that fit their needs, which sometimes include a 1-to-2 staff to resident ratio and awake staff at night if needed. The community provides three home-cooked meals a day and can adjust meal plans for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, kosher or other special diets. Guests can eat meals with residents, and snacks are available. There's a full garden with fruit trees, and the grounds include patios, a deck, and walking paths, sometimes with views of water or mountains. You might find people playing games or enjoying community events in the evenings, using the game rooms, garden, or reading room, and there's often music, movie nights, or outings in the van. Special programs like animal therapy, music therapy, art activities, barbecues, birthday parties, holiday celebrations, Bible study, story time, crafts, puzzles, and coloring happen every week. The full-time activity director keeps the schedule busy with things like exercise classes, bingo, and outside trips.
The house lets residents keep pets, as long as they follow the rules. Rooms come with basic kitchen appliances, and the place stays cool with air conditioning. The facility's got free high-speed Wi-Fi, lots of TV options including Spanish channels and sports, plus newspapers and magazines. Safety gets attention, with a generator for outages, emergency call buttons, a sprinkler and alarm system, and care for residents who use wheelchairs or walkers. Transportation is available for doctor visits, shopping, church, and other appointments, and the home takes care of pharmacy orders, medication reminders, and therapy sessions. Visitation hours run 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and the setting's quiet and private, with church services and spiritual events held on-site and staff who speak English. The home belongs to the Adult Family Home Council and follows DSHS rules. Residents can get podiatry, dental hygiene, and hairdresser visits, and there's regular housekeeping, laundry, and linen service. The staff help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating, and more. There's help for people with Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injuries, and physical rehab needs, with nurses who do things like wound care, blood thinner checks, oxygen care, and therapy for swallowing or mobility. House pets are allowed with some rules, and people are welcome to visit, see the home, and meet the staff and residents. The focus at Loving Adult Family Home is on safety, comfort, and support, without a lot of fuss.
