Alabama Hill Adult Family Home is a small care facility in Bellingham, WA, licensed for up to 6 residents and certified by the state of Washington with license ID 751528. The home sits in a quiet neighborhood with a friendly staff that's available 24 hours a day to help seniors with a wide range of needs, using both personal and professional care, including help with eating, moving around, bathing, grooming, medication, and personal hygiene, and they even help with laundry, housekeeping, and getting to doctor's appointments. Residents live in a home-like setting and can choose between well-designed studio units, one-bedroom, or shared apartments, all with wheelchair access, emergency pull cords, and private or shared bathrooms with showers and full tubs. The home takes care of seniors with dementia, Parkinson's, diabetes, or incontinence, using memory care plans and a special, secure building with wander alert systems and exit controls for those with conditions that make them prone to wandering or challenging behaviors.
Meals are home-cooked and nutritious, with pureed, vegetarian, kosher, and special diets for those with high blood pressure or diabetes, and they celebrate birthdays and offer snack shops and social events like movie nights and music programs. The staff supports both long-term care and temporary stays with respite care and hospice care, and there's always a nurse or therapist on call, with visiting podiatrists, physical therapists, speech and occupational therapists for anyone who needs them. The home offers group outings, devotional services, and fitness schedules, and there's a wellness center for preventive check-ups, health monitoring, massages, and recreation. Residents can enjoy the computer area, large TVs, library, outdoor patios, yard spaces, or even the hair salon and movie theater room.
Safety's a focus, with a keypad-protected entry, 24-hour awake staff, and a computerized system that alerts staff if someone tries to leave an unsafe area. The community welcomes pets, with some weight restrictions, and helps with pet care for dogs and cats, and provides parking and transportation, including support for errands and doctor visits, and convenient access to public transit. People who need help transferring in and out of bed, even those needing a mechanical lift or two caregivers, can find support here, while staff can handle medications and insulin shots, behavioral symptoms, and accommodate high acuity care needs. Activities run daily, from crafts, games, and music, to fitness, animal visits, and outdoor relaxation, and there's always something to do. Alabama Hill Adult Family Home works to keep a clean, calm, and comfortable environment that helps seniors improve their standard of life, and the facility has earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
