Ardent Adult Family Home Care sits in Edmonds, Washington, at 21706 80th Avenue West, in a quiet and safe neighborhood near Stevens Hospital, and it offers care for up to five seniors at a time in a home-like setting where folks get the kind of attention you'd expect in a small group. This adult family home stands out because it's run by a husband-and-wife team with CNA and management backgrounds, so you'll often see a clear focus on professional, respectful care for seniors with chronic or mental illnesses, as well as for those who need help with daily activities like dressing, bathing, medication, or getting in and out of the shower. Residents have a choice of private or shared studio-style rooms, wheelchair accessible showers, and rooms can be set up for those who might need a bit more help, including high acuity care, non-ambulatory care, and memory care services for people with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Meals are home-cooked and well-balanced, with menu changes available for clinical or dietary needs-vegetarian or kosher meals, for instance-and there are three regular meals each day. Folks living here get the help they need, from incontinence care and diabetes management to nurse and podiatrist visits, even doctor and dentist on call, and there's a good mix of scheduled activities, like music and animal therapy, tabletop games and outside trips, along with devotional services and arts programs. The home makes room for pets within set weight limits, and there are indoor and outdoor communal areas, a beauty and barber shop, and social evening events. Staff help with getting to medical appointments, shopping trips, and spiritual services, plus, they can provide 24-hour awake personnel when it's needed, and offer two-person transfer assistance in some cases.
