Sunrise Adult Family Care

Sunrise Adult Family Care in Bothell, WA, serves up to five residents at a time in a private home setting, and the place always feels cozy and welcoming, with owners there every day making sure things run smooth and folks feel comfortable. Residents can have either a private or semi-private room, with air conditioning, cable TV, high-speed internet, and emergency call buttons, and there are ground-floor rooms with roll-in showers for anyone with limited mobility, along with a wheelchair-accessible patio and garden space where people can sit outside or pick fresh fruit and vegetables when they're in season. The community focuses on memory care with a secured area and keeps residents safe with door alarms and a wander alert system, and everyone gets supervision day and night-including help with medications, blood sugar checks, incontinence care, assistance with daily activities like bathing or dressing, and personal care for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, mental health conditions, or developmental disabilities. Nurses, a doctor, and therapists-including speech, occupational, and physical therapists-are all available, and there's hospice, respite, and end-of-life care in place, so folks can stay even if their needs change over time, with aging-in-place as an option. Daily life includes three freshly prepared meals, with vegetarian and special diet options, and snacks throughout the day, and there's a variety of things to do-music therapy, bingo, board games, exercise, walking at nearby Marina Beach Park overlooking Puget Sound, gardening, and trips outside using the facility's complimentary transportation. Pets are welcome, there's both indoor and outdoor common areas, and smoking's allowed only in the outdoor area, and people can socialize or relax as they like, with the staff always ready to help. Visiting hours run from 9am to 8pm with an open-door feeling, and there's a nurse or RN on call 24 hours, plus podiatry and dental services, beauty and barber services, and even options for Spanish language television. The place charges an average of $6,500 for a one-bedroom memory care unit, and it tries to keep residents dressed well, clean, well-fed, and engaged, making it a steady setting for seniors who need help with daily life while still wanting a bit of independence or companionship. The community accepts residents under 55 and accommodates both men and women, and there's a clear focus on offering care that's friendly, steady, and built around each person's needs without being pushy or overbearing about things.
