Peaceful Villa Adult Family Home sits out in rural Ferndale, WA, where you'll find tall trees, flowers, lots of birds, and peaceful park-like grounds that get cared for all year. The place only takes six residents, so folks get to know each other and the pace stays calm and quiet. Staff keep things safe day and night, especially for those who may wander, and they pay close attention to people's health, helping with everything from medication to bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting around wherever needed, and there's a registered nurse right on site, plus doctors and specialists stop by. Rooms have internet, cable TV, wheelchair-accessible showers, and people can decorate their space with personal items to feel more at home. Residents can pick between private or shared bedrooms, and there are kitchenettes in-room if someone wants a snack or to warm up their tea. The whole building is small and looks more like someone's house than a big facility, and laundry and housekeeping get taken care of as well.
Meals get cooked fresh every day and are served three times daily, with choices for folks who have diabetes or other health concerns, and lots of people say the food tastes home-made. The community gets together for things like movie nights, board games, gardening, music, art, and animal therapy, and every week there's devotional services for those who'd like them, plus scheduled trips out for errands or appointments because there's help with transportation too. Residents can sit outside on the grounds, walk around the yard, or visit the reading room, fitness area, jacuzzi, or steam room, and if someone needs a haircut or a new style, a mobile hairdresser can come by. The aides know how to help with memory care, development disabilities, and mental health, and people who need diabetic or incontinence care get the help they need with dignity.
There's always someone to lend a hand, whether it's with toileting, bathing, or eating, and staff make it a point to support whatever daily tasks are hardest. People can join physical and wellness programs to stay active if they like, and evenings sometimes mean community events so no one feels left out. Families and friends can visit between 9 in the morning and 8 at night. Peaceful Villa holds a Washington Department of Social Services license, certification number 75, and takes private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits, with prices for assisted living starting at $3,000 per month, depending on care and room choice. The home keeps a family feel, giving seniors a chance to live with comfort, safety, and some independence, surrounded by nature and friendly faces.
