Star of the Sea - Adult Family Home sits in Spokane Valley and folks might find the place's information a little hard to come by, but what's clear is they're a licensed Adult Family Home that takes up to six residents in a private house that feels homey, light, and comfortable, with private rooms, wheelchair and walker access, and things like a patio and guest WiFi, and it looks like everything's owner-operated by a registered nurse with over 20 years working with seniors and in home health nursing. The home covers a wide range of care, from help with bathing, dressing, eating, and medications to blood glucose checks and wound care, even IV therapy, oxygen, and tube feeding, plus support for Parkinson's, COPD, dementia, and heart issues, so folks with complex needs or those nearing the end of life can stay here too, including hospice and palliative care, with a nurse always on call.
They've got board and care for seniors who need daily help, assisted living, respite so caregivers get a break, and memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and meals are part of the deal with special diets if needed, and it seems like nutrition and comfort are taken seriously since ratings show good marks for food and overall building quality. Activities pop up like bingo, group games, movies, birthday or holiday parties, gardening, and church visits, reading circles, and even spa days, and for folks who like keeping busy there's painting, puzzles, board games, Bible study, and travel outings. Hair care, laundry, housekeeping, pharmacy delivery, and even setting up trips to see the doctor gets covered alongside visits from physical and occupational therapists, speech therapy, and help connecting with social workers.
Medical stuff's tracked with electronic records and family can get updates if they're the decision maker, which helps people stay in the loop, and fall prevention, behavior support, cardiac care, stroke support, plus programs for people with disabilities or meaningful day activities are all offered, so the home tries to cover the needs of a wide group of seniors, and it can work with veterans needing help with benefits too. The house sits close to a hospital and a bus line, has emergency call buttons, allows pets to visit, and keeps things bright with lots of sunlight and even seasonal flowers, and it's inspected by the state and local agencies, keeping its license (757214) up to date. Medicare's not taken unless certified so most care here is private pay, and care plans are set up for each person's health and personal needs, all overseen by experienced nurses. Overall the place runs small and quiet, with a focus on health, safety, and peace of mind, mainly for folks who want a real home setting with strong nursing oversight and personalized daily support.
