Serenity Gardens sits at 8712 N Benton Dr. in Spokane, WA 99218, right near public transit, so getting there isn't too hard, and visiting hours run daily between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM, which means family and friends can come by just about any day of the week. This is a quiet adult family home with only six licensed beds, so folks living here get a lot of personal care and attention from trained staff who are always around, day or night, and it helps that the staff are known for being friendly, helpful, and joyful, with a knack for keeping the place clean and welcoming without odd smells. Meals get prepared in-house, usually nutritious home-cooked food, and there's always some activity planned to help people stay engaged, whether through devotional programs, entertainment, light exercise, or just spending time with others in a comfortable setting that doesn't feel busy or corporate.
Serenity Gardens focuses on safety, so residents who might be at risk of wandering have a Wander Guard or something similar in place, which really gives families peace of mind, especially for those with dementia or memory issues, and there's memory care available with therapies to reduce confusion. The nursing home facility provides 24-hour care for seniors needing help with medical reminders, medication management, monitoring health, or support with personal tasks like bathing and dressing; in fact, the home's good at handling many needs, including ambulatory care, diabetic care, incontinence care, high acuity care, and specialized support for people with developmental disabilities, mental health challenges, or dementia.
Room setups allow for privacy, since each private room has its own bathroom-some with bathtubs-and plenty of natural light, plus there are bright, spacious common areas both inside and outdoors. Resident parking is available, and the home offers rides at cost for appointments or errands, which some families find useful. Folks can make use of a beautician service right on site, too, so staying fresh isn't ever a big bother, and housekeeping helps keep things tidy. The place tries to make everyone feel at home, no matter their background, offering community events and support for people from multi-ethnic and BIPOC backgrounds.
Serenity Gardens follows state and local licensing from authorities like the Department of Aging, and is a licensed Adult Family Home-a setting sometimes known as an Adult Foster Home or Personal Care Home. While it doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the community focuses on providing a steady, safe, and kind place for seniors who need assisted living, memory care, or just a calm retirement environment. Life here feels cozy and close-knit, with small-group meals, opportunities for companionship, and staff who help design exercise or activity programs tailored to each person, and the aim is to keep residents as independent and healthy as possible. The house is quiet, less crowded than bigger facilities, with a focus on making residents comfortable, assisting with daily needs, and trying to make sure everyone feels like they belong. There are scheduled tours for anyone wanting to see how the home operates, and the team works to create a nurturing, friendly culture where well-being and a sense of community are front and center.
