Lona's AFH sits in a quiet neighborhood in Bothell, Washington, where the place looks and feels like a regular family home, surrounded by trees and even a small creek running nearby, and you'll find just six licensed beds there, so things stay small and personal, not crowded or loud. The house has private and semi-private rooms, walk-in showers, private baths, wheelchair-accessible spaces, and a screened outdoor patio where folks can sit and watch the birds or get some fresh air. Staff work around the clock and help residents with personal care, getting dressed, taking medicine, and managing health needs like Parkinson's, diabetes, memory loss from Alzheimer's or dementia, even recovery from surgery, and there's always a nurse or doctor on call if needed.
Meals come with special options for those who need kosher or vegetarian food, and there's help at mealtimes, snacks all day, and a private dining space if someone wants company or a quiet meal. For those who like to keep busy, there are arts and crafts, birthday celebrations, music therapy, fun games, a full calendar of activities, and a library on wheels bringing books and movies to anyone who asks. The staff also takes care of laundry, housekeeping, trash, and even pet care for those who live with a small animal, plus there's a beautician who visits onsite.
Lona's AFH lets male and female residents stay, though there are specific gender arrangements to check on, and the home has services for hospice, respite care, case management, and special help for people with developmental disabilities or mental health needs. The community has emergency call systems and security features, and the management team works with outside nurses, physical therapists, and doctors to cover everything that might come up. Residents get personalized care plans, help moving from place to place, and staff always respond if someone pushes the emergency button in their room.
Visiting hours run from 9:00am to 8:00pm, and devotional services are available for those who want them. The AFH accepts residents from Snohomish County, and the program aims to make this a safe, friendly, and cheerful place where folks get the help they need but still feel at home.
