A Caring Haven Adult Family Home sits in a quiet Kenmore, Washington neighborhood with a good view of Lake Washington and Kenmore air, and there's a second location up in Lynnwood, too, both run by a nurse and her team who live on site and keep things running steady, which means someone's always around to help, whether with medicine, a meal, or a midnight need, and with only six residents at a time, staff can keep a close eye on everyone. This home feels like a proper house, with private and shared rooms, most with their own bathrooms, good natural light, and everything's set up for wheelchairs and walkers, plus there's a fenced yard, a fountain, flowers, and even a house dog. People can bring a pet if it fits the home rules, and folks who smoke have a place to do so. They also keep things clean with regular housekeeping, laundry, home maintenance, and full apartment security, and they like to keep visitors welcome from nine in the morning to eight at night.
They handle a lot of medical needs, like wound care, trach tubes, feeding tubes (G-tube, J-tube, NG-tube), oxygen therapy, dialysis support, ostomies, IV and insulin injections, as well as monitoring for things like blood pressure and blood sugar, and they know how to check for UTIs and do regular blood draws, and a licensed nurse is available or on-call every day and night. The staff helps people living with dementia, Parkinson's, depression, diabetes, congestive heart failure, COPD, traumatic brain injuries, stroke, and developmental disabilities, and they're ready for those who are bed-bound, need a Hoyer lift, or who deal with incontinence. Residents get help with day-to-day things like getting dressed, bathing, eating, using the bathroom, and getting around, and there's always someone to help with medication and special diets-even a dietitian helps plan meals, including options friendly for dementia.
People living here have structure and choice with daily activities like holiday gatherings, birthday parties, gardening, exercise classes, movie nights, bingo, music, tea times, story hours, puzzles, cooking, and Bible study. There's cable TV, satellite, internet, a library space, and both indoor and outdoor places to sit and chat, with regular entertainment, family support meetings, and barber and salon services right at home. Transportation is included for doctor's visits and other outings, parking's free for visitors, and getting to healthcare in Seattle and the Eastside is fairly easy.
A Caring Haven allows both men and women, is pet friendly with some restrictions, and welcomes people of any background who need full-time care and understanding, including hospice or respite stays. They accept folks who smoke and help with behavioral health needs; residents get their own care plan, and the staff keeps a close 1-to-2 ratio so no one gets lost in the shuffle. The home is part of the state's Residential Care Council, stays licensed, and always keeps safety top of mind with emergency call systems and round-the-clock support. Each detail in the house aims to make life smoother for those facing health hurdles in their older years, from easy-access bathrooms to cooked meals and daily companionship, and there's always time for a walk in the garden if somebody wants company or a quiet chat.
