#1 Helana Adult Family Home sits in Lynnwood, WA and serves Snohomish County, with licensed care for up to six residents in a family-like setting, where people get support with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, toileting, grooming, and meals, whether they need basic help or memory care because of dementia or Alzheimer's. The home takes care of both short-term and long-term needs, offering private and semi-private rooms, and the place feels comfortable, safe, and easy to get around, with wheelchair access, a ramp, and bathtubs, and the owner and live-in primary caregiver-a trained nurse-gives close attention to each person, even personally going with residents to doctor appointments and staying with them during emergencies, which can really help families feel at ease. There's someone there around the clock, with part-time registered nurse services, specialized diets like gluten-free, vegan, kosher, no-sugar, or low-salt, and a cook who considers food needs or restrictions for every person.
People here can join in lots of activities: bingo, church trips, music programs, birthday and holiday parties, cooking classes, movie nights, BBQs, games, gardening, story time, exercise, and group outings, so there's usually something keeping folks busy or letting them socialize if they want. The place has Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, private phones, and each room includes an emergency call button, plus gardens, patios, and indoor and outdoor spaces to relax. The home also helps with medication management, specialized memory therapies, diabetic care, high acuity care, physical or occupational therapy, dental hygiene, pharmacy deliveries, and visits from nurses, therapists, podiatry, and other supportive professionals. The staff assists with fall prevention, hygiene, incontinence, health appointments, and offers both hospice and respite care options.
Transportation and parking are available, and the home sits close to a hospital and public transit. They allow pets (dogs), and take pride in being warm, attentive, and sincerely relationship-based, not just for residents but for families too. Visiting hours run from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, with tours by appointment between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM, and there's licensed security features like alarm systems as needed. There's also support for people with vision or hearing issues and for those with a traumatic brain injury, and the home tries to make everyone feel respected and cared for, offering community programs with meaningful day activities, aid for behavioral needs, and expanded caregiver support. A family member left a five-star review mentioning the personal attention and kindness they saw here. The Helana Adult Family Home focuses on keeping things simple, safe, and caring for seniors, with small touches like fresh meals, activities, and a peaceful home where people can feel they belong.
