Twilight Adult Family Homes sits on Mercer Island and offers a homelike place for older adults who need extra help with daily living, with three small, private homes where only six residents live in each one, which means staff can really focus on what each person needs-helping with bathing, getting dressed, moving safely from place to place, managing medications, and even things like grooming with a stylist who comes right to the home, so nobody has to worry about going out if that's hard. The homes are set up to feel comfortable, not at all like an institution, and residents are treated to regular meals-three per day-and snacks, with staff able to make changes for special diets like diabetes or high blood pressure if families ask. People get support for personal and health needs, but the staff also work to give peace of mind to the families, since the homes have 24-hour care from trained caregivers and nurses, who know how to help with memory issues, Alzheimer's, dementia, mobility challenges, and even incontinence.
Twilight Adult Family Homes provides both private and shared rooms for residents over 62 years old, with all utilities except personal phone service included, and cable TV in every room, which is nice if someone wants to just relax and watch something familiar. Folks can join group meals, outings to parks, movie nights, workout sessions, music therapy, animal therapy, and special events, and there are spaces for games, a book room, a sauna or jacuzzi, and even a chapel for those who want a quiet place for faith. Staff will help organize transportation to doctor visits, shopping, or faith activities, so no one has to feel stuck inside. People looking for temporary help can use Twilight for short-term respite care to give family caregivers a break.
Twilight Adult Family Homes stands out because it's small, with each home holding just six residents, so the staff can really get to know everyone and keep watch on those who need memory care, with trained nurses on site to prevent wandering and ensure safety. They welcome adults with special needs like blindness, hearing loss, diabetes, memory loss, and other conditions, and people often say the staff are friendly and helpful, making the homes a pleasant place to live. Residents get help with laundry, housekeeping, and everyday chores, and there are visiting hours daily, so friends and family can come by often. It's a peaceful spot with well-kept homes, offering care for adults who need assisted living, Alzheimer's care, help with mental health or developmental disabilities, and a place that supports independent living as much as possible within a family-style setting.
