Gravelly Lake Adult Family Home sits in a quiet Lakewood, WA neighborhood near Gravelly Lake and helps up to six senior citizens in a home-like setting, where you'll find private and semi-private rooms, as well as one-bedroom and studio options, with wheelchair and walker access throughout and air conditioning, so everyone stays comfortable, and you know there's always a caregiver awake at night with two more during the day looking out for the residents, which means needs get met quickly, whether that's help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or meals, or closer monitoring for folks with dementia since they've got a memory care program that helps with higher needs for those living with Alzheimer's or other memory loss, and for those with serious medical situations, skilled nursing care's available for things like wound care, diabetic care, oxygen therapy, and end-of-life or last weeks of life support, so even people who need a lot of help can stay in a small, familiar home.
Meals come with the option for special diets, including kosher and vegetarian, and there's help for people needing tube feeding or support after a stroke, if you're a quadriplegic, or if you have vision or hearing problems, and if you're recovering from an injury or illness, physical and occupational therapy are there, too, along with activities like board games, coloring, and walks in the garden, so even on quiet days, there's something to do, and you'll find emergency call buttons, fast guest WiFi, cable, satellite TV, and areas both inside and outdoors for socializing or a bit of peace and quiet.
The home allows dogs with certain weight limits, and pet care is available, which suits folks who find comfort in a companion animal, and if you need to get out for medical appointments or errands, there's transportation at cost, plus resident parking. The care team helps with everything from medication management and pharmacy delivery to blood glucose checks and podiatry care, and they offer respite care for those staying just a short time-say a few weeks or months-which also helps families who might need a break.
Gravelly Lake Adult Family Home also works as part of a larger group of care options, so there are connections to other nearby places like Hope Guest Home or Cascade Park Gardens if you ever need a change, plus the wider Brookdale family like Brookdale Allenmore and Brookdale Puyallup South, and the home itself is licensed for board and care, adult family home, assisted living, memory care, independent living, and even as a nursing home, with each resident getting individualized care as needed-always focused on safety, dignity, and a calm, easy pace of life, all while staying close to local hospitals.
Monthly pricing for care generally ranges from around $2,394 up to $10,511 depending on needs and services, and while it's a smaller setting, there's still a wide range provided, from simple assistance with daily chores to total care for those with more complex problems, so seniors in Lakewood and nearby can age in place surrounded by familiar faces and routines, right in a regular neighborhood.
