Gena's Best Care

Gena's Best Care sits in a quiet Kirkland neighborhood, set up as an adult family care home in a modern ranch house that's been retrofitted for senior needs, with natural wood floors, spacious tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers and support bars, and sturdy plush suede recliners for relaxing in the common spaces, and you can see the attention to detail in the ornate landscaping and old brickwork. There are small, cozy private rooms that you can furnish how you want, with cable TV and telephone by request, and all the rooms have private bathrooms or at least easy access to them, and several have those roll-in showers for easy use if you need a wheelchair, and the hallways and doors are wide. Residents get three home-cooked meals a day in a family-style dining room, with snacks, and the meals can fit diets like vegetarian, no-sugar, or low-salt, plus you can ask for guest meals, and they keep the food balanced for vitamins and minerals, even offering international dishes. There's a spacious back patio for gatherings and space for walking or sitting outside. Staff stay on the property 24 hours a day, so you can get help whenever you need it, whether it's dressing, bathing, getting around, or managing medicine, and if you need memory care because of Alzheimer's or dementia, they have therapies to help with wandering or confusion. The rooms and living areas have Wi-Fi and air-conditioning, and the house has a back-up power generator too. Safety measures include interconnected fire alarms, security alarms on the doors, and sidewalks set up for easy, safe walking. They handle high and complex care needs, like diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, and incontinence support, and you can get short-term respite stays if you need them. There's always staff ready to offer one-on-one attention, and care plans get adjusted to fit what you need as things change, and there are regular activities planned, so you get some variety and chances to socialize if you like. Gena's Best Care has had its state license since 2011 and, with its small size and personal rooms, makes it easier to get to know the staff and other people living there.
