Shumway Mansion II sits near Juanita Beach Park and overlooks Lake Washington, offering a peaceful spot with a bit of historic charm, since the house was built in 1909 and then restored in 1985, and you can see that old style in the decorative ceilings, carved fireplace surrounds, and detailed woodwork throughout the home's 24 rooms. The mansion runs as an Adult Family Home with two licenses for 6 beds each, but houses just 6 residents at a time, providing private or semi-private rooms, some with private baths and wheelchair accessible showers, and there are studio apartments and one-bedroom suites too. Though the home doesn't have air conditioning or specific outdoor amenities listed, it does have indoor and outdoor common areas where residents can meet, relax, or join activities, and things like a chapel, bistro, beauty shop, game room, and garden are available.
There's an awake staff on duty 24 hours a day who help residents with dressing, meals, bathroom needs, medicine management, mobility, and getting in and out of bed, and the home's set up to handle folks with different needs, including those living with dementia, behavioral health, diabetes, Parkinson's, incontinence, or developmental disabilities, and residents who are non-ambulatory. The staff also help with memory care and provide secured areas with computer alerts for safety, especially for people who might tend to wander or need extra watching after. Shumway Mansion II has a separate building just for memory care with specialized programs, and they can accept people with higher care needs and those who may act out or are at risk for eloping.
Meals are served three times a day with vegetarian and special diet options, there's an on-site dietitian, and the kitchen staff can help with feeding if needed. Other services include massage therapy, beautician visits, medication reminders, pharmacy services, continence management, and help with daily activities like housekeeping and trash. There's scheduled transportation and parking for residents and visitors, and transport might cost extra. People can join devotional activities or use the chapel if they want spiritual support, and staff offer events and activities, some for body and some for spirit. The property is a non-Medicaid licensed Adult Family Home, doesn't take Medicare, and operates as a board and care community mostly for memory care, and can also do respite stays for short-term relief and aging in place so folks don't need to move out as their health changes. Staff speak English and Filipino, and the home requires JavaScript to access some online features like CAPTCHA. Shumway Mansion II often feels more like a home than a big institution, blending privacy with what folks need to feel safe and cared for in their later years.
