Clark Residence Inc. in Burien, Washington, sits on 11650 26th Ave SW and has a small, calm feel with only six licensed beds in its assisted living units, which means residents get more personal attention and it doesn't ever feel crowded or noisy like bigger places sometimes can, and rooms there vary from small, easy-to-manage studios to one-bedroom units and shared spaces, so depending on comfort or price or personal needs, there's usually something that can work. Staff at Clark Residence provide 24-hour care, with help for everyday things like dressing, showering, getting around the house, and personal laundry, and for anyone needing it, they have memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, they follow individual care plans, and keep a licensed nurse and a staff dietitian around to pay close attention to health details, plus they offer medication management, diabetic care, high acuity support, incontinence support, and can help if someone can't move very easily.
Meals come from a chef, with choices for special diets or vegetarian meals, and you'll find snacks out all day, so folks are never hungry, and there's a communal kitchen for anyone wanting to do a little cooking or baking on their own or just socialize, while outside there's a garden and courtyard where residents can take some air or join in activities, run by 24-hour staff who can people around the property so no one feels lost. Socializing is easier with structured activities like arts and crafts, cultural events, and educational programs that aim to keep minds and hands busy, plus an extensive library right there for reading, and for grooming needs, the beautician comes onsite.
For folks with pets, Clark Residence allows cats and dogs, though with weight restrictions, and you've got private bathrooms, wheelchair-accessible showers, and full tubs in the rooms, which helps with daily living, so it fits folks with different requirements, and if visitors want to stop by, visiting hours run from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Transportation is available at cost for errands or medical appointments, and for those still driving, resident parking is there. The facility doesn't accept Medicare payments unless it gets certified, and it runs as a non-Medicaid Adult Family Home under King County regulations, so payment is private and prices are set by the home itself, though exact costs aren't always published. Families can get advice and help from senior living advisors, and a team is available most days to walk people through the choices, which is useful because making the right move into senior care can get mighty complicated.
Clark Residence puts attention on safety too, with features like 24-hour emergency response and staff always around, and makes an effort to keep independence alive through various programs, but also steps up with high-level care if needed. The community focuses on peace of mind, not just for residents but also for their families, making sure that someone is always there and that every resident's plan fits their unique needs and wishes for daily life.
