Medina Adult Family Home sits on 31026 26th Avenue South in Federal Way, WA, and has a small, home-like setting since it's licensed for six residents, so everyone kind of gets to know each other. The owner is a licensed nurse and EMT and there's a licensed nurse and EMT on staff, which helps when residents need medical help or close attention for complicated health issues, and care goes around the clock with visiting hours from 9 am to 8 pm. This community provides several levels of support, including assisted living services that cover help with bathing, showering, clothing, washing, bathroom needs, and grooming, plus medication management, diabetic care, fall prevention, and incontinence care, so someone's always nearby if help is needed. People living here with Alzheimer's, dementia, mental health conditions, or developmental disabilities get specialized care, including memory care that features 24-hour attention, unique programs, and memory boosting activities. Board and care services, as well as skilled nursing for wound care, rehabilitation, catheter and colostomy care, and high acuity medical needs, are part of what's offered, and hospice care for end-of-life support is also available. The facility takes pride in supporting seniors to stay independent, providing things like transportation to appointments and errands-though there's an extra charge for that-and coordinating with doctors.
Meals are cooked fresh three times a day and meal plans get changed up for folks who need things like diabetic or low-salt options, and there's blood glucose monitoring as needed. Each room is private, with wheelchair access, baths or tubs, and accessible showers, and short-term respite care is an option if caregivers need a break. There's air conditioning, backup generators, internet access, cable or satellite TV, and the home has both indoor and outdoor spaces, like patios and decks, to relax-or maybe catch a breeze. Common spaces work for reading, doing some art, playing games, or just being with others, and planned activities include birthday parties, holidays, bingo, puzzles, exercise classes, and music or pet therapy, so there's usually something happening. Home health and therapy services come to the site, and a mobile barber or hairdresser visits, which helps folks feel good. There's a safe spot for walkers and wheelchairs, with help into and out of the shower or for getting dressed, and all the wellness appointments get support from staff when needed.
This is a licensed adult family home with state license number 750391 and it's in a spot close to a hospital and public transit, with parking if you drive. Residents have personalized care plans, so the team keeps track of what everyone needs, from medical help to just some company, and there's peace of mind for families knowing someone's paying attention. It doesn't accept Medicare unless certified, but does handle a wide range of long-term care needs for elderly adults in Federal Way and serves King County.
