Genesee Service Home Care LLC sits in Seattle, Washington, in a quiet neighborhood near Me-Kwa-Mooks Park with views of Elliot Bay, and you'll find it's an Adult Family Home that serves older adults aged 55 and up with six licensed beds, so things stay pretty calm and personal, and folks who live here get care from a 24-hour awake staff that's trained to help elderly and disabled people, and there's always someone awake for safety and help at any hour of the day or night. Here, caregivers help with all sorts of daily living needs, like bathing, dressing, getting around with a Hoyer lift, incontinence care, medication management, wound care, regular blood draws, and even supporting people who have specific needs like trach tube or oxygen care, diabetes management, catheter or colostomy care, stroke or Parkinson's Disease care, and support for people who are bed-bound, have depression, Alzheimer's, dementia, COPD, congestive heart failure, developmental disabilities, mental health needs, or who speak Russian or Romanian, and the staff can also help with insulin injections and feeding tubes.
This home offers personal and companion care, memory care in a secured environment for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, behavioral support, hospice care, and long-term non-acute care for up to five residents at a time, with everyone having a personalized care plan reviewed and updated to fit changing needs, and there's room for pets indoors, too, which can make a difference for people who love their animals. Residents can have private rooms, enjoy wheelchair accessible showers and private bathrooms, and take part in a mix of group and individual activities, some happening at the home and some offsite, including social, religious, and educational events meant to keep folks active and feeling connected to others, since socialization is encouraged, and there's a homey feel with just a handful of folks living together, which helps caregivers get to know everyone well.
You'll also find amenities like on-site beautician services, common areas both indoors and outdoors where you can enjoy fresh air or quiet time, and meals are made fresh every day, with vegetarian choices and snacks or drinks readily available, all using nutritious ingredients, and the home can support special diets as well. They have policies that allow for outdoor smoking and welcome individuals who need help with smoking-related needs, so you'll see accommodations for smokers. The location's got options for parking, and family parking is available, while transportation is provided free or for a fee as needed, including trips to doctor's appointments or outings, plus public transit's nearby if families want to visit, which they can do between 9:00am and 8:00pm each day. Staff keep an eye on vital signs, can run regular UTI testing, help manage medications, including using hospice services or home health when needed, and a physician's on call if something comes up with health or needs adjusting in daily routines.
The home has been recognized in senior living circles, picking up awards like Best of Senior Living and Best Activities, and it works with organizations such as A Place For Mom. It accepts both private payments and Medicaid, but it's not certified for Medicare, so it doesn't accept that type of insurance. Genesee Service Home Care LLC focuses on offering a comfortable, family-style setting, which many people like because it isn't crowded or impersonal, and you can bring your own things to feel at home, with support for independence, dignity, and forming friendships among residents. The home's aim is always to give seniors a safe, supportive place to live, tailored to their own wants and needs, and help give peace of mind to their families, all while offering several languages for easy communication and plenty of services to help someone stay as active, comfortable, and healthy as possible.
