Lakeland Adult Family Home 1 sits in a quiet part of Auburn, WA, and gives seniors a home-like setting with both shared apartments and small private studios, each one coming with all the needed appliances and basic utilities so folks can keep some routines of daily life, and when residents want to bring favorite furniture, staff help make rooms feel even more like home. The building makes moving around simple with wheelchair-accessible showers, ADA-compliant bathrooms, and wide halls, plus there are emergency buttons and in-room alarm systems so help is always close by for falls or any problems. Staff provide help with daily needs like toileting, incontinence, getting around, and spoon-feeding if someone has trouble eating, and the registered nurse, along with 24-hour awake caregivers, look after people with diabetes, high medical needs, medications, and recovery from surgery, while regular doctor visits, health checks, and therapy services-like physical and occupational therapists who come by-keep up everyone's health.
For seniors with Alzheimer's and other memory problems, there's a secure memory care area set up in its own section of the building, with special programs to manage wandering and behaviors, caregivers trained for high-acuity and behavioral care, and computer alerts plus bracelets to keep everyone safe if someone tries to wander off, and the staff can handle insulin injections and transfers, even for people who need extra help to move. Residents fill out personalized care plans so staff know what kind of help or stand-by assistance each person needs, and folks who struggle with aggressive actions or elopement risk get attention from trained team members who have steps to keep everyone calm and secure.
Residents always have something to do with daily activities designed to stimulate, whether it's games of cards or bingo in the games room, movies in the theater room, art and crafts, fitness classes, or cultural events and life enrichment programs, while the library is good for book lovers and the gardens outside or the snack shop offer simple places to relax or gather with other seniors. There's an exercise room and media room, and those looking for spiritual care may attend devotional services off-site with transportation included. Beautician services are available right on-site, so it's easy to keep up with haircuts and grooming, and residents can enjoy chef-prepared meals, including kosher and vegetarian options, with snacks offered every day, all in private or shared dining areas depending on the situation.
Lakeland Adult Family Home 1 only has four assisted living units, making it a small, quiet spot where staff and residents can form close bonds, and with staff on duty 24/7 and an on-site nurse, family members can have some peace of mind about care. All laundry, linen, housekeeping, and medication management gets handled by the team, who also keep families involved with support meetings and regular health updates. Seniors who don't drive can use the free transportation for appointments or outings, and parking is available for visitors, and with a concierge service on hand, most daily tasks and appointments are covered. Both men and women, including people under 55 in some cases, can stay here with help for everything from memory changes to diabetes and mobility problems, and the facility is ready for residents at many stages of care, letting folks age in place as needs grow.
