Abiezer Adult Family Home sits in Edmonds, Washington, with the front door opening to views of Puget Sound, the nearby mountains, and parks with trees, so there's always a bit of calm and nature around, and the house itself is purpose-built to give residents a safe, quiet, and cozy place that feels homelike and welcoming, without being overwhelming in size or noise. There are only six licensed beds, and residents can choose between private rooms, a one-bedroom unit for memory care, or semi-private rooms, so everyone gets some say in how they live, and there's enough space for folks to have company or a bit of private time when they want it. Staff are credentialed caregivers and a registered nurse manages the home, making sure care is always there, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and the full team works to help with bathing, dressing, meal escorts, medication, grooming, and all the daily things that can make life safer and smoother.
The home takes people of all mobility needs-including those who use wheelchairs or walkers or need help with two-person transfers or even mechanical lifts-and there's support for people with big or small health changes, so if your health needs more help later on, there isn't a need to move out. Abiezer welcomes residents living with dementia, Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injuries, advanced illnesses, and mental health or behavioral challenges, and the secure memory care section is in its own building, ready with alarms, monitoring bracelets, and a strong safety system to prevent anyone from wandering away or becoming lost, which is especially important for people who sometimes walk off or feel confused. There's a long list of care options, like incontinence care with reminders, diabetes management with insulin injections and blood sugar checks, tube feeding, catheter care, wound care, oxygen therapy, and even total care for quadriplegics, so even folks with very serious needs can stay. Staff can also monitor for behavioral difficulties and help soothe or redirect those who might act out, have bizarre or difficult behaviors, or need extra support after dark.
Abiezer keeps a nurse on call at all times, and there's a doctor, dentist, podiatrist, and therapists-physical, occupational, and speech-who visit regularly, so checkups and health problems can often be handled in the home, and palliative, home health, and hospice services are all available for residents in later stages or in need of relief. They offer private duty nursing, as well as help for hearing and vision impaired folks, and specialty diets, including kosher meals, are provided, with meals often cooked using organic ingredients, and snacks, music, and small touches like complimentary newspapers and magazines are part of daily routines. For transportation, there's complimentary rides for residents, parking if residents still drive, and extra options if someone needs to go out to a doctor or somewhere that costs more, but the community is right by a bus line too, and that opens up easy access to nearby cities in Snohomish County.
It's not all medical-Abiezer provides daily activities onsite and offsite, with music, bingo, therapy dogs, outings, and devotionals for anyone interested, so there's more to do than just sit and watch television, and every room and common area is wheelchair accessible, with gardens, decks, patios, and even water or mountain views outside. Beautician and barber services are onsite, so everyone can get a haircut or style if they like, and there's church visits, holiday celebrations, and opportunities for recitals with a piano they have. Pets are allowed if folks want the comfort of an animal, and the house is kept clean, quiet, and welcoming, with plenty of security, a solid fire sprinkler system, air conditioning, and an emergency call button system. There's also support for daily household and personal tasks, including laundry, housekeeping, linens, toiletries, pharmacy deliveries, and reminders for health appointments, so no detail gets overlooked.
Abiezer accepts both men and women, and the facility welcomes visits between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm, so families can see their loved ones often. The home makes it possible for people to age in place since care gets adjusted as someone's needs change, from light or medium care up to total care, and even those with behavior challenges, development disabilities, or significant medical needs are considered for admission. The main goal here is safety and warmth, offering peace of mind for residents and families, with the understanding that getting older isn't always easy, but living in a smaller home with good food, company, fresh air, nearby parks, and help with whatever comes can make things feel a bit easier, day by day.
