Badger Mountain Adult Family Home sits over in Richland, WA, where it offers 24-hour care every day of the week for older adults, folks with dementia, people dealing with mental health or developmental disabilities, and those needing hospice help. The home is licensed for six residents, so there's a close caregiver-to-resident ratio of one caregiver for every two people, which makes it easier for staff to keep an eye on everyone and provide personal help. They've got private rooms and shared suites, and the place is built with safety in mind, with handrails, emergency call buttons, and a sprinkler system all around.
The staff help with dressing, grooming, bathing, medication support, wound care, and even some help with VA benefits and setting up doctor's visits. They've got onsite therapy options like physical, occupational, speech, and even pet therapy, sometimes right in the home and sometimes through home health partners. Memory care is a big focus, especially for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and they adjust the care for each person's needs. There's also end-of-life care, which covers those last weeks with as much comfort as possible.
Meals are home-cooked and balanced for nutrition, and mealtimes happen in a comfortable dining area. Residents join in lots of activities like bingo, Bible study, cooking therapy, music, arts and crafts, and holiday celebrations-an activity director comes in during the week to lead much of it. They make room for pet visits, and you'll find a piano for music, plus gardens, fruit trees, patios, and a BBQ area outside. There's housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, and linens handled for everyone, with kitchens or kitchenettes and washers and dryers available in rooms.
Badger Mountain offers transportation for outings, appointments, and group socials, and they've got Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, and even a salon or barber for haircuts. Residents' families can check digital medical records and notes, staying up to date. Memory care also comes with extra structure for social connection and emotional support. Health and wellness programs, plus education programs, aim to keep folks learning and moving. Staff foster a warm and supportive setting, keeping residents comfortable and encouraging friendships.
The home is open to visits every day from 9:00am to 8:00pm and carries a state license as an adult family home, serving Benton County with DSHS oversight, and holds a good reputation. Online reviews average at 4.4 stars, and the community sentiment sits at 4.7 out of 5, so most families are satisfied with care and attention here.
