Corina's Adult Family Home sits in a quiet spot near Mirrormont in Issaquah, Washington, and takes care of both men and women who've reached a certain age, with a focus on people who can move about on their own but need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or taking their medicine, and the home's also there for folks with memory concerns such as Alzheimer's and dementia, and you'll find it's a smaller, family-style setting with only six licensed beds, which gives a more private, home-like feel where people can form close ties with staff and fellow residents. Corina, who runs the place, brings a lot of know-how about seniors' needs and makes sure care has a personal touch, with trained staff around all the time for support, plus nurses and doctors on call, and there's help for anything from medication management to personal care, regular housekeeping, meal prep-including for special diets like diabetic, vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher, or low-sodium-and even things like hair care, dental, podiatry, and hearing services, so residents can get help with almost every need without having to leave.
Residents stay in fully furnished rooms that have private baths, central air, regular housekeeping, safety fixtures, smoke alarms, and sprinkler systems, and the bathrooms work for people with limited mobility or wheelchairs, with safety and handicap bars in place. Families and guests are welcome during visiting hours from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, and anyone staying for a visit can get guest meals too, while the house stays smoke-free indoors to keep the air clean, but folks can bring their pets if they'd like, and there's guest parking out front.
Corina's offers a full range of health support, so beyond nurses, there's help for things like occupational and physical therapy, speech therapy, medical urgent care, and hospice or respite for temporary stays, which can give main caregivers a bit of a break. The place lines up a good mix of activities to keep spirits up, from TV and movie nights to spiritual meetings, group meals in the dining hall, and games, plus there are off-site outings for something extra, and they arrange for transportation if you want to go to appointments around King County. There's a focus on safety, with doors and systems set up to support folks with dementia, and all the ground rules and licensing come from the Department of Social and Health Services, which helps keep standards high.
Social, spiritual, and educational programs happen every week with a big push to include everyone, plus nice landscaped grounds for sitting outside when the weather's good, and the common areas indoors include a dining room, mail and post area, TV spot, and shared living rooms, so people can join in as they like or keep it quiet if that's better for them. Regular updates help families stay in the loop about their loved ones, and the whole place puts a lot of effort into staying clean and cozy, with an easy-going, friendly atmosphere where most people quickly feel at home. Corina's Adult Family Home won't be able to accept Medicare unless there's a special CMS certification, but there are options for private pay insurance to help plan for costs, and with a strong team, long-term care, and a real sense of warmth, it aims to be a steady, safe place for seniors in the Issaquah area.
