Tumwater Meadows Adult Family Home

Tumwater Meadows Adult Family Home sits on 3.5 acres of woods in a quiet, private gated community in Tumwater, WA, and has six licensed beds for seniors who need help each day, and the care team always has no more than six residents per caregiver, which really helps keep things calm and familiar for everyone. Residents get 24-hour personalized care, whether someone needs help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication, or getting around, and there's always supervision and a nurse or doctor on call for health needs, including diabetes care, incontinence, high acuity issues, and memory support for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's also hospice and respite care when things change. This place has a non-institutional approach with a family-style setting-meals are served together around a table, staff puts together fun activities during the day like arts and crafts or movie nights, and residents can relax in both indoor and outdoor common spaces, including a gazebo that's great for barbecues or just watching the birds in the butterfly or hummingbird gardens. Residents can choose private rooms, many with their own bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and some even have kitchenettes, and the rooms have safety features like wheelchair accessible showers and easy-to-reach call systems. The community lets residents bring pets, have visitors every day from 9:00am to 8:00pm, and families can feel at ease since the home is a member of the Washington State Residential Care Council and only accepts long-term care insurance or private pay, not Medicare unless certified. Therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapies are available, along with podiatrist and dentist visits, and staff help with wound care, diabetic needs, and medication management, plus they offer meal plans for special diets (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, low sugar, or low sodium). There's laundry and housekeeping, free or paid transportation for shopping and medical visits, and parking for residents and guests, and the place is close to public transit for those who still like to get out and about. Residents get support for daily living, companionship if they want it, and a chance to take part in activities, social or educational programs, or devotional services, all while staff pays attention to privacy, safety, and each person's care plan. Tumwater Meadows Adult Family Home gives a small group of seniors a stable, supportive place to live with the comfort of home, with flexible care, open common rooms, and staff focused on dignity and independence.
