Cascade Home Care sits over in Kenmore, Washington, right in a quiet neighborhood with a home-like setting where folks get lots of attention and comfort, and you'll find that the house feels open and welcoming with lots of wheelchair-friendly spaces, extra-wide hallways, big windows, and beautifully decorated rooms. The place only serves up to six residents at a time, so it keeps things close-knit, with private rooms that have their own baths and views of a well-kept yard, and if someone wants to bring along personal decorations or furniture, they're welcome to do that too. The owners, Mariana Munteanu-a Certified Nursing Assistant with specialty training in Alzheimer's, dementia, and mental health-live right there in the home, and they keep a careful eye on everyone's changing needs, stepping in quickly if something needs doing. There's 24-hour care in this adult family home, which has been operating with a state license since 1995, and the staff is around all the time to help with things like medication management, incontinence care, diabetes care, or just helping people get around with a walker or wheelchair, and folks with dementia, mental health, or developmental disabilities get specialized support thanks to programs like HCS Meaningful Day and DDA Meaningful Day.
Residents get their own private patio, deck, or balcony, and there are wheelchair accessible showers and ground-floor rooms to make moving around easier, and while the home feels cozy, it's roomy enough for group activities like arts and crafts, puzzles, movies with popcorn, or stretching and yoga classes-sometimes with an activity and exercise coordinator who keeps everyone moving or brings in live music and entertainment like happy hour, karaoke, or dance performances. There's a good mix of lifelong learning, art classes, Bible study, Catholic services, educational speakers, and one-on-one activities for anyone who wants to join. Doctors, therapists, and a podiatrist visit the home when needed, and on-site beauty and barber services are available, so folks can keep up with their grooming without heading out. The house has a back-up generator, air conditioning, an emergency call system with call buttons, door and window alarms, and Wi-Fi for anyone who wants to stay connected.
Meals are home-cooked in an open kitchen, served at any time, and the menu covers nearly every special diet-from gluten-free to vegan, vegetarian, kosher, international dishes, low-sodium, and even organic. The staff handles all housekeeping and laundry, keeps things safe and clean, and offers companionship, personal care, and hygiene help every day, while families can visit any time between 9:00 in the morning and 8:00 at night, especially during holiday activities and festivities that welcome guests. Cascade Home Care's location makes it easy to get to hospitals and clinics nearby if there's ever a need, and residents can enjoy fresh air on the garden sidewalks, sit by fireplaces, watch movies, or just relax in their own rooms that feel a bit like home, and there's always someone available to make sure everyone's comfortable, safe, and cared for. The monthly cost for a private room reflecting this level of personalized care and services is $6,000.
