Julie's Adult Family Home

Julie's Adult Family Home sits at 102 143rd St SW in Lynnwood, Washington, and the folks there believe in keeping things simple and comfortable, so you'll find a family-style setting that's meant to feel like home and not like a big institution, and since they're what you call a board and care home, they go by some of their own special terms for rooms and care, which makes it a bit different from others. This place mainly looks after older adults or people with disabilities by offering help that's really shaped around each person because they know everybody's needs are a little bit different, and whether someone needs just a bit of help with bathing or dressing or something more like medication management, diabetic help, incontinence care, or even high-acuity care, the staff there is ready at any hour-day or night-since they run 24-hour care and that means no one gets left alone when they need something, no matter the time. You'll find private rooms if you want your own space and semi-private rooms if you don't mind sharing, and they come with features like private baths, wheelchair-accessible showers, and even meals that fit special diets like kosher or vegetarian, so people with different needs aren't left out. The home isn't too big, they call it an adult family home, and that gives it a more personal touch, and the staff focus on supporting residents who need things like memory care or those who can't get around so easily, and for those staying just a little while, they offer something called respite care, which means someone's loved one can come for short-term stays too. You'll see both indoor and outdoor common areas where residents can sit and chat or watch the birds, and there are places for pets too, for those who have furry friends they want to keep nearby. Folks there can take part in activities on the property or even join trips off-site, and for those who value their faith, there are devotional activities both inside and outside the home that offer comfort to those who want it. If you want your hair done or a bit of pampering, there's a beautician on-site who'll help out, and all the meals and snacks are prepared with adult needs in mind, so you don't have to worry about what you're eating even if you follow a special diet. Staff help with everything from daily things to more specialized care, and since the home's got a rating of 5.00 based on one review, some people have found it to their liking. Visiting hours are set from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, so family and friends can come by most of the day. The focus at Julie's Adult Family Home is on kindness, support, and giving each adult the care and respect they deserve, whether that's simple help around the house, help with medicine, or more complex care, and the steady routines and familiar faces seem to make a difference, at least for those who want a setting that's quieter and more like the family homes they remember.
