Mimi's Adult Family Home sits on 10th Street NE in Auburn, WA, and has space for up to 6 residents who need daily support and want to live in a home-like setting with both indoor and outdoor spaces where folks can gather or relax, and there's staff around 24 hours a day for care and safety. The home is run day-to-day by caring staff like Nicole D., who's certified in DSHS, CPR, First Aid, AED, and has training in Alzheimer's, dementia, and mental health, so people with memory issues, mobility challenges, diabetes, cancer, stroke, paralysis, Parkinson's, or TBI can feel looked after with medication help, wound care, catheter care, and feeding assistance for those who need it, and folks on oxygen or with special needs like colostomy bags or feeding tubes can be accepted after an individual assessment.
The house has both single and shared bedrooms, including a room with a private bathroom, hospital beds, and wheelchair-accessible showers, plus lifts for moving safely, call buttons in case of need, and alarm systems to protect wandering residents with memory loss. Night staff are present and the house is wheelchair-accessible throughout, with clear, tidy rooms kept spotless by Mimi and her helpers who show affection and hugs to those who want them. Residents get homemade meals, including kosher and vegetarian options, and there's a garden growing fresh summer vegetables right outside, while on the inside, people can join in activities or just enjoy the common areas, visit with others, or use the WiFi if they want.
The place keeps a close eye on health, especially for folks with high-level care needs, and is particularly focused on helping people feel at home, safe, and independent as much as possible, with hospice accepted if needed, respite stays available for the short term, and a calm, controlled environment, especially during trying times like a pandemic. LGBTQ residents are welcome, and lifts, hospital beds, and call response systems aim to keep everyone comfortable, and parking plus access to public transit make it easier for visiting. Mimi's Adult Family Home prides itself on personal care, steady medical oversight, and a warm home where each person gets the help they need.
