Agape Care Adult Family Home sits in Gig Harbor, WA, less than a mile from St. Anthony's Hospital, in a very safe and quiet neighborhood where the house gets plenty of natural sunlight, and the landscaping's always tidy, so it feels like a pleasant home. This place has room for six residents, each in spacious private rooms, with wheelchair and walker access throughout, plus private telephones, cable or satellite TV, smart remotes, and guest Wi-Fi. The staff includes caregivers chosen for their kindness and a resident manager who's usually around on weekdays, and there's an RN on site to help with medication needs. The home handles a lot of care levels-assisted living, memory care for dementia, support for mental health needs, and care for people needing help with things like mobility, dressing, or reminders for appointments and medicines. People who need help with laundry, cleaning, food preparation, and even complex therapy needs like physical or occupational therapy, wound care, in-house dialysis, or managing diabetes or stroke recovery can find those services here. Large-sized patients who need extra help and sometimes require two people for transfers can be taken care of, too.
Personal care plans get made with input from the resident, family, and staff, and services can change as needs change, with daily check-ins to see how everyone's doing. Meals are cooked fresh, with choices to fit what each person likes or needs, and mealtimes can be set up privately for families if they want to visit. There are regular activities steered by a vibrant life coordinator, almost always something going on each week-holiday parties, exercise groups, movies, gardening, musical events, live piano time, and religious gatherings if people want them, along with pet visits and reading groups, so nobody's left without something to do if they want. Residents can go on outings using the facility's van or bus, and transportation is offered to appointments or events, which makes staying involved easy enough. The home keeps safety in mind with a full fire sprinkler system, security alarms, and secure fencing for residents who wander, and there's always staff around, keeping the caregiver-to-resident ratio close and personal, at least 3:1, but more if someone's needs are high.
The home looks and feels cozy, not like a big institution, with a library, activity room, gardens, a dock, and water plus mountain views, and friends and families can visit and see for themselves what daily life is like. Everyone gets a chance to have their care reviewed twice a year by the state, which helps keep things on track, and the facility is licensed (number 756457) as required by law, so families tend to say there's peace of mind. Pets can visit but don't live there, and entertainment is always varied, with options for different cultures on the TV channels. Agape Care also supports end-of-life and last weeks of life care, so seniors can stay in a place they know, even as their needs change. Payment and floor plan options are available on request, and assisted living prices start at $6,000. People say the home is loving, the food is good, and the staff are friendly, so it provides a solid choice for seniors needing consistent, caring help in the South Puget Sound area.
