Serenity Care AFH, a licensed Adult Family Home in Bellevue, WA 98005, offers long-term, non-acute care for seniors in a private, residential setting with only 6 licensed beds, and you'll find it sits close to bus lines and a hospital should you need either. The home provides assisted living and memory care, including Alzheimer's care and a secure, purpose-built community with a wandering alert bracelet system, so those who need memory support can stay safer. Folks who move in can stay as their needs grow, since the facility helps with things like transfers-one-person, two-person, and mechanical lift-and carries on supporting people with many needs, whether it's diabetic care with blood sugar testing, medication management by a nurse, or care for those with challenges like dementia, mental health issues, or developmental disabilities. Residents get three meals daily, including options for kosher or vegetarian diets, and there are snacks and special diets for those who require them, along with help for people who have trouble with eating, chewing, or swallowing. The staff offers help day and night, taking care with reminders for daily activities like toileting, grooming, and even providing wound care or oxygen therapy if it's needed, so families can know someone's always watching out for their loved one.
Serenity Care AFH provides both private baths and partial tubs, with wheelchair accessible showers, plus spaces to move around indoors and out, like a garden and library, which can be comforting for people who like a quiet spot now and then. The home has amenities like cable or satellite TV, private telephones, internet access, complimentary newspapers, and offers things like manicure and hair services onsite, transportation for outings, pharmacy and medication delivery, plus podiatry and doctor visits right there. There's also speech, physical, and occupational therapy, so usual medical support is easy to get, and when it comes to specialty care, they even accept residents with major behavior issues or traumatic brain injuries. The community offers housekeeping, laundry services, and group meals, and residents can participate in onsite and offsite activities and devotional services-there's an emergency call system in rooms, so help is close at hand, and staff checks on everyone around the clock.
They run a respite program, so families needing short-term help can turn to Serenity Care AFH, and they make aging in place possible for those who want to stay put even as their care needs change. The Adult Family Home does not take Medicare for payment unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Visiting hours are from 9:00am to 8:00pm. Trained caregivers treat residents with dignity, offering attentive supervision, support for bowel and bladder incontinence, help with diabetic needs (like reminders or insulin injections), but administration of insulin is up to the residents or their family. The property is secure, helps prevent wandering with a computerized system, and has a designated memory care building. Caregivers work to make people feel at home, with a focus on safety and attentive help, so seniors can get the practical and personal assistance many need in their later years.
