Angels Care AFH

Angels Care AFH is an Adult Family Home in Des Moines, WA, serving King County, and it focuses on providing both medical and personal care for seniors in a comfortable, homelike setting, which is family owned and operated, so you get a real sense that people care, and you see staff around all the time, always ready to help with daily needs like bathing, feeding, personal care, and mobility, including walking or using a wheelchair, and they offer nursing home services, with round-the-clock care and visiting nurse support, so residents get help with medications, wound care, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, and visits from professionals like doctors, dentists, and podiatrists, and they've even got transportation services to help with appointments. The facility has a secured memory care building for people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or behavioral concerns, and uses things like alarm bracelets to keep residents safe if they're at risk for wandering, elopement, or other difficult behaviors, plus, there's behavioral care support and incontinence help, and staff can assist with insulin injections, blood sugar checks, and sliding scale therapy for diabetic care. For those needing extra help, staff provide one or two-person transfers and mechanical lift support, so folks with high needs aren't left out, while aging in place lets residents remain here as care needs grow, which includes respite and hospice services, and there's a posted respite fee estimated around $150, while memory care averages about $4,500 each month for a one-bedroom unit, so families can plan a bit better for costs. Residents have the choice of private or semiprivate rooms, offered furnished or unfurnished, and they all come with smoke alarms, call bells, phones, cable TV, door alarms, and wheelchair-accessible showers. The property itself has a large, landscaped patio perfect for summer barbecues and outdoor gatherings with friends and family, plus activity rooms, a theater room, a game room for things like bingo or board games, and even a library for reading or quiet time, with indoor and outdoor common areas so everyone can find a spot to relax or socialize. Meals, including vegetarian options, are provided in a communal dining room, and there's access to kitchens or kitchenettes in the rooms for those who like to make small meals, with staff also handling housekeeping, laundry, errands, appointment scheduling, and maintenance, so things stay tidy and running smoothly. Wifi, cable TV, and washers and dryers are available for daily use, with safety features throughout, and you'll also find a fitness center, salon and barbershop, and beauty services, which means no one has to go far for a haircut or simple exercise. Devotional services support spiritual needs, and the full activity calendar keeps folks busy with social gatherings, arts and crafts, educational programs, wellness classes, and both onsite and offsite trips, as staying busy and connected is encouraged. Residents can bring pets if they meet the pet policy, and the building is entirely smoke-free, with both male and female residents accepted, though there are some gender-specific arrangements possible. Angels Care AFH also serves adults needing day care, mental health support, or care for developmental disabilities, offering individualized care plans and companionship in a secure, quiet, and respectful setting, and with visiting hours running from 9:00am to 8:00pm, families and friends can come by and spend time together. The team focuses on safety, personalized routines, and helping each person stay as independent as they can, and while no place can be perfect, folks here get honest care, reliable help, and a little extra thought put into their daily comfort.
