Simply the Best Adult Home, which some folks also call Simply The Best Care III, sits over on 25001 13th Place South in Des Moines, Washington, and is a small senior living spot with only 6 licensed beds, so the care feels personal and the setting stays pretty home-like, and it's licensed under Washington's Department of Social Services (certification number 750760), but doesn't take Medicare unless they're certified for it, and from what's known, they're not certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services right now. The place provides assisted living, memory care for folks living with dementia or Alzheimer's, respite care for short-term stays, and hospice care, so it covers different needs, and even offers support for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, mental health needs, and developmental disabilities, making personalized plans, including diet changes, when needed-there's also help with incontinence care, medication management, continence management, and daily tasks like bathing, grooming, and getting dressed, so residents can keep some independence but still get assistance.
The building's got a reading room, game and activities room, dining room, movie theatre, café, and greenhouse, along with a wellness area that contains a hot tub, steam room, and places for fitness and recreation, so everyone has options to stay active or just relax, and indoor common areas and private rooms help keep things comfortable. Residents can choose from private or semi-private rooms, one-bedroom or studio apartments, and there are safety features such as in-room emergency response systems, a sprinkler system, handicap-accessible features, and staff around the clock, with a licensed nurse available, and the staff has a reputation for being friendly, helpful, and joyful, doing their best to improve quality of life. Meals come prepared by chefs and kitchen teams using good ingredients, and special diets are possible for those who need them, with snacks available all day.
Activities reach out to different interests, including arts and crafts, movie nights, music programs, scheduled fitness events, garden time, animal therapy, music therapy, tabletop games, creative projects, reading time, and outdoor trips to keep minds and bodies moving, plus social events at night to encourage friendship, and devotional services are offered off-site for spiritual needs. Personal care goes as far as walking assistance, escorting within the facility, mealtime help, laundry, vacuuming and dusting, and they even help with grocery trips, shopping, and transportation to medical appointments and spiritual services; there's also resident and guest parking, and details like housekeepers, kitchens or kitchenettes, WiFi, cable TV, washers, and dryers round out the daily amenities.
Since the home is smaller than most, with no more than 6 to 10 people living together, it can provide special attention to each resident and adjust care as needs change, with custom care plans, memory care features meant to reduce confusion or wandering, and a staff that's used to high-acuity cases, such as advanced dementia or Parkinson's. Visiting hours run from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., which lets families come by most days, and residents can join in on both on-site and offsite activities aimed at keeping them engaged mentally, socially, and physically. So, Simply the Best Adult Home offers a senior community made to help folks live in comfort and safety, with the right amount of personal support and enough to do throughout each day.
