Rainier Meadows Adult Family Home sits in a quiet residential area at 1338 Ginkgo St SE in Auburn, WA, where up to six residents can get care in a peaceful, home-like setting with a private patio or deck, fruit trees in the yard, and fresh, seasonal fruit to enjoy when it's ready. The nurse-owned and operated home has over 15 years of healthcare experience, with a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) husband-and-wife team running things and living on-site. Every resident gets a private room that's wheelchair or walker accessible, with cable or dish TV and Xfinity DVRs using smart voice-controlled remotes, plus WiFi for guests and easy access to the internet. The common areas include activity rooms and gardens, while security shows up in both an alarm system and emergency call buttons, so families can feel some peace of mind.
The home provides specialized care for people who need help with daily tasks (ADLs), medication management, wound care, as well as special attention for stroke (CVA) survivors, traumatic brain injury, dementia, mental health, developmental disabilities, cardiac care, and folks who need end-of-life or palliative support. There's expanded community services, access to physical and occupational therapy, VA benefit applications help, and coordination for home health, hospice, and doctor visits. Residents can enjoy activities like holiday parties, gardening, music, exercise classes, movie nights, bingo, craft classes, potting flowers, newspaper reading, painting, and several musical programs, with 24-hour staff available for support. Meals get cooked from scratch with diversity in mind, offering both familiar and culturally different dishes, and the home brings in services like housekeeping, haircuts, manicures, podiatry, and live music entertainment.
Guests can visit between 9am and 8pm, and there's quick access to bus lines and a hospital nearby for emergencies, and the home is kept comfortable year-round thanks to air conditioning. While Rainier Meadows Adult Family Home doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and currently has no active Medicaid or private pay listings, it stands as a small, secure place for seniors in Auburn who want care that feels personal and attentive, with individualized plans made for each person's needs and preferences.
