4 Elements

4 Elements sits in Everett, WA and offers a private, home-like setting for seniors who want help with daily living, and people who need extra care for health or memory problems, and it's licensed as an Adult Family Home with 8 beds and serves residents who need everything from personal care to medical management including feeding, bathing, and wound care-plus there are special services for Alzheimer's, dementia, developmental disabilities, depression, and diabetes, along with support for those who need a Hoyer Lift, oxygen therapy, or even trach and ostomy care. The apartments have safety features like grab bars, emergency pull cords, and safe design, and each room comes with generous closet space, private rooms, cable or satellite TV, high-speed internet, air conditioning, and patios or decks, and visitors can come between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm. There's a theatre, a library, a games room with cards and bingo, decks and porches, exercise areas, and spaces for arts and crafts or even massage therapy, and residents can join a full range of activities from holiday parties to pet therapy, gardening, movie nights, puzzles, and tea time, with programs for body, mind, and social time, including range of motion exercises and fall prevention. Medical support is strong, with visits from MDs, nurses, therapists, and dietitians, and if someone needs help with things like insulin injections, blood draws, catheter or colostomy care, or is ever bed-bound, the staff have experience and training in all this, plus medication management and memory care. They take care of laundry, daily housekeeping, meal prep-including special diets, pureed food, and tube feeding if needed-and set up transportation when residents have appointments outside. Security and safety are important, with secured grounds, a fire sprinkler system, a generator for emergencies, and regular state inspections, and pets are allowed if they meet some restrictions. The place runs wellness programs and family support services, and families can find help with referrals or counseling if they're unsure what services a senior might need. 4 Elements is regulated by the Department of Aging and is fully licensed, with its inspections and services listed online, and while the size is small, the care is personalized to match each resident's needs, whether they're looking for assisted living, skilled nursing, independent living, memory care, or need respite or hospice support.
