Sylvan Crest sits in Everett, WA, and serves up to six residents in a homey Adult Family Home setting, providing memory care, assisted living, and independent living. The facility keeps a secure environment, using alarms and protected wings to help prevent wandering for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and staff stay awake and available around the clock to help with oversight, medication, and personal care tasks-helping residents shower, get dressed, keep up with hygiene, and go to the bathroom as needed. Rooms include studios, single rooms, and two-bedroom apartments; residents get choices between private memory, mental health, and hospice rooms, and every room feels like a home, with options for kitchenettes, patios, or views of water or mountains.
Meals come homemade three times daily, with special diets like diabetic or kosher available on request, and families can have private dining with their loved ones. There's a push to keep everyone engaged, so every weekday the on-site activity director organizes daily activities, movie nights, social events, crafts, exercise classes, music, and even holiday and birthday celebrations. People get to enjoy pet therapy, tabletop games, music therapy, gardening, story time, and outdoor walks, while the garden, patios, decks, reading room, and recreation areas provide safe and pleasant places to relax. Independent and assisted care is provided according to each person's needs, including nursing, therapy, and pharmacy service visits, and the team handles care for folks with cognitive impairment, developmental disabilities, stroke history, and those needing end-of-life or hospice support.
Sylvan Crest can manage clinical needs like catheters, trach care, oxygen therapy, wound care, and INRs for blood thinners, and they have health staff visit for dental hygiene, MD check-ups, and therapy. Residents have access to laundry, waxing, hair services, and podiatry right at home, along with weekly newspaper delivery, high-speed internet, cable TV, and telephones in private spaces. There's a secured entry, safety alarm system, handicap access, and sprinkler system for security, with wheelchair and walker accessibility throughout. Pets are allowed under certain restrictions, and loved ones can visit often. Outings for shopping, doctor's appointments, or worship happen through the facility's transportation coordination, and there's always parking set aside for guests. Sylvan Crest stays licensed and regulated under state rules, offering services at a lower cost than hospital care and providing a range of care for both folks needing little daily help and those with more complicated conditions.
