Star Lake AFH

Star Lake AFH sits right on the lake in Kent, WA, and gives residents calming water views from the dining room, living room, and balcony, which is nice if you like sitting outside for meals or just want to look out over the water in peace, and you'll notice the house has large living rooms and wide hallways with hardwood floors running throughout, making it easy to get around even if you use a walker or chair. The home's built for easy access to the I-5 and 167 highways, so visiting's not too hard for family or friends. This Adult Family Home takes private pay only and can have up to six residents at a time, which keeps things smaller, quieter, and homier. The owners are nursing assistants registered since 2006 who live in the house with the residents, and they provide 24/7 care along with trained caregivers, always close by if you need something day or night. Star Lake AFH specializes in dementia and mental health care, so they offer memory care for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, with secure routines, nurse-delegated medication management including insulin, doctor and dentist visits at home, monthly hair styling, and activities chosen for mental and social engagement. Private rooms all have private bathrooms and come with phone lines, cable, and wiring for computers, so everyone gets some privacy and can stay in touch or entertained if they wish. Meals are cooked by a chef, and special diets are followed if a doctor orders them, with vegetarian and kosher meals available. There's an onsite pharmacy, a computer area, laundry and dry cleaning in the house, outdoor patios and gardens for fresh air, and plenty of indoor and outdoor common space so residents can relax or chat with others in different places. The home keeps a peaceful setting with close supervision from the resident owners, professional caregivers, and staff who try to know everyone's needs and help residents take part in social, educational, and fun activities at their own pace. Visiting hours run from 9:00am to 8:00pm, so families have time to stop by. The community aims to help with daily tasks, provide memory care and mental health support, and bring a feeling of family for those living there. It's quiet, friendly, and designed to respect each person's safety, comfort, and choices.
