Garden View Residential Care

Garden View Residential Care sits in a quiet Shoreline neighborhood, with two neighboring houses that each hold six residents in private rooms, and some of the rooms have a bathroom attached while a few share a hallway bathroom, and flowers bloom out front while everyone enjoys the Puget Sound view. Residents get meals three times a day, and staff help with daily tasks, medicine, oxygen, and wound care, and there's nursing care for people recovering from a stroke or needing help with vision or dental issues, and Garden View lets residents bring small pets or have them visit. Garden View offers a home-like space where people with dementia, Alzheimer's, or other mental health needs can join supervised activities like crafts, gentle exercise, or sitting with others in the sunny courtyard between the houses, and there's a living area for residents downstairs, while staff and the management like Ms. Reidun Koren live upstairs, so help's always near. Seniors who need more supervision or care move into the second home, where staff are always awake at night and ready to help, so families can have peace of mind about their loved ones' safety. Residents can get rides or be escorted to appointments, and staff provide special diets like vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, or diabetic meals, and there's laundry and cleaning too, so daily life stays pleasant and worry-free. Garden View offers hospice and palliative care for residents in their last days, making sure every person feels comforted and respected, and they have counseling and support for both the seniors and their families. Being a non-Medicaid licensed adult family home, Garden View focuses on older adults who need longer-term, non-acute care in a smaller, family-style setting, and both houses are kept safe with special fixtures for seniors. Residents can expect a sense of independence and pride, and many families have mentioned that staff treat their loved ones with dignity and kindness. The business doesn't take Medicaid, and Medicare is only allowed if the program says so, but the local government comes in for surveys and checks since the facility's licensed for adult family home care in Shoreline, WA. Garden View offers day care for adults, help with outings, and regular education and outreach to families, along with simple pleasures like gardens and a comfortable social environment, aiming to help every resident flourish for as long as possible.
