St Therese Adult Family House sits at 1407 Brooke Ct in Steilacoom, WA, where you'll find a quiet, home-like setting with space for six residents, and what you get here is attentive care with a small staff-to-resident ratio of one caregiver to two residents, so everyone gets help when they need it, whether it's dressing, moving safely, using the bathroom, or managing medicine, and folks with memory loss, dementia, mental health needs, or developmental disabilities receive special attention from trained staff who know how to keep them safe and comfortable. The house has studio units, one-bedroom apartments, and shared apartments, giving people the choice between private and semi-private rooms, and while the place fits only a handful, it has amenities you might expect in a larger spot-things like cable TV with local sports and Filipino channels, internet access, air conditioning, and a pet-friendly policy, along with walking and jogging paths, a patio or deck, and rooms with wheelchair or walker accessibility.
People at St Therese Adult Family House get three meals a day, planned by a dietitian and prepared on-site, with dementia-friendly options and special diets like tube feeding when needed, and the staff does all the housekeeping, laundry, and medication delivery for residents, so no one needs to worry about chores. Everyone can bring their pets, have guests visit between 9:00am and 8:00pm, and ask for private dining with family, plus if anyone needs hospice care, on-site therapy, or home health visits from nurses, social workers, and therapists, that's available too, with care based on personalized plans and a registered nurse on call day and night.
Activities fill most days, with an activity director here on weekdays to organize movie nights, bingo, music and aromatherapy, dancing, cooking, coloring, birthday celebrations, and special events for holidays, so residents can stay busy and feel a sense of community, and for those who need extra help, there are scheduled bathroom reminders and a fall prevention program to keep everyone safe. The place is non-smoking indoors, has concierge service, and provides transportation for medical appointments, social outings, and errands, so people keep their independence as much as possible.
St Therese Adult Family House doesn't accept Medicare unless certified, but the home plays a steady role in Pierce County for seniors who need extra support, giving peace of mind to loved ones, especially for those with Alzheimer's, stroke complications, physical disabilities, or complex medical needs like blood glucose checks or INR monitoring. On-site, residents have access to medical services like dental hygiene, MD care, and podiatry, and there's on-demand cable, WiFi, and DVR so folks can watch what they like, and for residents who need total care or special needs, the staff provides direct care and supervision around the clock. The home keeps its license current with regular inspections under number 750428 and maintains a simple no smoking rule for safety and comfort. The environment here feels warm and inviting, and meals, activities, and services all focus on helping each person stay as independent and comfortable as they can, in the smallest possible group, surrounded by staff who know them well and treat them like family.
