Raspberry Gardens AFH, also known as Palace Gardens AFH, is an adult family home in a quiet Lynnwood neighborhood close to Lake Serene, Picnic Point park, and the beach, where a small number of seniors receive care in a home-like setting with their own bedroom and bathroom. The caregivers, led by Rahel and her team, provide 24-hour support for daily activities, medication, meals, and personal care, working to keep things respectful, pleasant, and dignified as residents get the help they need without losing their independence. The staff is friendly and well-trained, including registered nurses, and families often say the place is beautiful, well-equipped, and feels welcoming, which is important because the goal is always to give comfort, safety, and a bit of pride back to people in their later years.
The facility offers both assisted living and independent living, so each resident gets a plan designed for their specific needs, whether that's board and care, extra help with dementia or memory loss, support for mental health, or developmental disabilities. Staff focus on treating everyone with compassion, keeping a warm, family-like atmosphere, and encouraging positive relationships between residents and caregivers, which seems to help many residents feel happy during their stay, with some living there for about five years now.
There are open communal living spaces to relax in, a wide range of activities and events to keep people active and engaged, and the caregivers do try to give everyone as much choice as possible in their own routines, whether it's eating together, joining a club, or finding quiet time to themselves. Family members come to visit between 9:00am and 8:00pm, making it easier for people to stay connected to loved ones. Raspberry Gardens AFH has a license from DSHS and provides respite care options as well, helping primary caregivers take a break. The whole setup really centers on safety, grace, and treating each person with dignity.
