Respite, surgery recovery, hospice, and aging-in-place care are all available, with regular health checks from an on-call nurse and different kinds of care like long-term, non-acute help which is generally lower in cost than a nursing home because it doesn't provide Medicare unless it's certified for it, but it does accept Medicaid for care services. Residents can get custom needs assessments, and there's always a focus on well-being and independence, with the ability to transfer between many levels of care as needs change, plus the community accepts people who are bedbound and also folks who may need two-person transfers or a mechanical lift for moving safely. Visiting hours are 9:00am to 8:00pm, and the community is registered with DSHS and licensed by the state, so it follows important rules to keep things safe, and there are always job opportunities for caregivers, including weekend shifts, since the home needs people around to keep care consistent. Pets are allowed, so those who like the company of animals can have that comfort, and overall, Cole AFH tries to offer both comfort and specialized support for adults in Snohomish County who want a homelike setting.
