Loving Care Adult Family Home sits at 2111 Melvin Avenue in Everett, WA, in a quiet neighborhood with a real home-like feeling, and shares that small, comfortable setup with just six memory care beds, where the focus is on tailored care for adults with dementia, mental health, or developmental disabilities, with visiting hours going from 9:00am to 8:00pm most days so families can stop by and see how their loved ones are doing. For those who need help with daily routines-like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, or getting in and out of bed-caregivers are always nearby, and there's a Certified Nursing Assistant who lives there and brings years of experience from nursing homes and assisted living, making sure everybody gets personal attention day and night.
Residents get three home-cooked meals a day, made by chefs who make sure to follow special diets for people with conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, and snacks are served between meals, while staff also help with feeding and take care of insulin shots, wound care, catheters, colostomies, and oxygen if needed, even regular blood draws or UTI testing, and they keep a careful eye on changing needs. The facility allows both cats and dogs, so pets can stay, and smoking is accepted, too, and the place stays safe with locked doors, a full security system, fall prevention equipment, pull cords, grab bars, and help that comes quickly if someone needs unscheduled assistance. Some people are bed-bound and get help with feeding tubes; others transfer around the house with aids like a Hoyer lift, and almost everyone gets range of motion exercises and regular health checks, especially those with tough conditions like congestive heart failure, COPD, stroke, diabetes, or Parkinson's disease.
Caregivers can manage medication, provide behavioral support, and offer regular blood pressure checks, diabetic care, oxygen support, and feeding help, while residents who need memory care or have Alzheimer's get extra attention and tailored activities, with locked areas to keep everybody safe and lots of programs to reduce confusion and wandering. Rooms are always well-lit, heated, and cooled with air conditioning, and folks can pick from shared or private bedrooms, though prices might go up if someone needs more help; the base rate for memory care starts at $4,500 a month.
Amenities include a lounge, library, reading room, family areas to gather, and structured activities like music therapy, tabletop games, movie nights, planned exercise, pet visits, and fun outdoor trips, plus there's a wellness room, spa features like a sauna or jacuzzi, and sometimes barbecues when the weather permits. Residents have internet and TV in their rooms, phone service, computer access, and scheduled outings to shops, doctors, or churches, and staff keep a friendly, joyful place for everyone with regular physician visits, social night events, and support for both the hearing and visually impaired.
The place opened in 2009, is managed by Maria Perekopsky, and gets praise for its thoughtful care and flexible support plans; while it hasn't gotten BBB accreditation, it's had a BBB file since 2009 and is recognized by families for a welcoming and safe environment. Staff look after people with Alzheimer's, dementia, and those needing hospice, respite care, or help with mental health, and offer both independent and assisted living, home care, and residential support, all in a calm, secure setting that feels like family, with programs meant to meet daily needs as they come up, and a backyard for residents to relax in when the sun's out.
