The Caring Place AFH sits at 22436 15th Avenue South in Des Moines, Washington and holds a license from the State of Washington to provide Assisted Living care for up to 6 residents, with a focus on serving older adults who want a home-like setting instead of a big facility, and while it's called The Caring Place AFH, it also includes named facilities like Rosewood Adult Family Home and Ivy House AFH, all part of a group of adult family homes that use terms like "Adult Family Home LLC" and "AFH," and the staff here provide personalized care and support for seniors in a smaller, close-knit community, designed for people from middle-income neighborhoods and for folks who need extra help with daily living, such as bathing, dressing, managing medications, or getting around, including help for those with memory issues like Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, who benefit from a secure, safe setup that limits confusion and keeps wandering from becoming a problem.
The place comes with 6 licensed beds in most homes and 4 or 5 beds in a few others, including license numbers 751081, 753057, 752739, 751019, 752329, 752410, and 752974-each one matches specific locations and allows small groups of seniors to live together in residential settings, and these numbers tie the homes to the Des Moines, WA 98198 and 98148 zip codes, serving the Normandy Park community. The homes fall under the Assisted Living, Residential Care Home, and Adult Family Home categories, offering board and care, assisted living services, respite care for folks who need short stays, hospice care, and even adult daycare for those who don't need round-the-clock help but like coming in for activities or support during the day.
Meals get served daily, with vegetarian options, and the homes provide accessible common areas, both indoors and out, as well as room amenities like wheelchair accessible showers and photos to make things feel familiar, and their rules let residents have dogs under a set weight. Transportation and parking options help family and friends visit, while staff provide high-acuity care, memory care, medication help, incontinence and non-ambulatory care, and always keep a higher caregiver-to-patient ratio so folks get more attention and support. The BBB has given accreditation, and the adult family home staff's approach is to treat residents like family, taking care to create a nurturing environment with plenty of safety measures in place so everyone feels comfortable. The idea is to keep things simple, secure, and personal, so each person's needs-no matter how small-get met in a familiar, supportive home, right in the heart of the community.
