US Inns, Inc sits in a quiet part of Everett, WA, where you'll find a small, welcoming adult family home licensed for up to six elderly adults and it's been running since 2007 with a focus on keeping things peaceful and comfortable, where the staff-overseen by an RN-makes sure residents feel safe, watched over, and at home, whether they need a little help or require more serious care for memory issues, diabetes, or mobility challenges. Folks here can choose from private, semi-private, or studio rooms, all fully furnished for comfort, and the home stands level so there are no ramps, making it easy to get around; there's a big backyard with an organic garden, flowers that residents can plant in their own planters each spring, an entry courtyard, and a sunlit dining room with a view of the gardens from a large window, which gives everyone a sense of peace and nature right there at home. Meals come three times a day, always freshly cooked and never made with canned or processed food, and they can handle special diets-so if you need meals that are gluten-free, vegan, low-sodium, diabetic, vegetarian, or organic, you'll be covered, and guests can eat too if they visit during meal times, which is a nice touch, and you'll often see everyone enjoying restaurant-style dining or even international dishes.
Staff helps with whatever daily needs come up, like bathing, grooming, getting dressed, going to the bathroom, transferring between bed and chair, washing up, or helping with meals, and for folks who need extra help, they've got support for those who need physical, occupational, or speech therapy, plus care for incontinence, diabetes with blood sugar checks and sliding scale therapy, or people needing behavioral support if they tend to wander or act out. Nurses stay on staff round-the-clock, and there's a doctor on call; licensed care managers can help with medications-pills, reminders, and even injections or two-person transfers, all as needed-so everyone feels like help is never too far behind, whether it's for high acuity needs, wound care, or rehabilitation after a hospital stay.
For those needing secure memory care due to Alzheimer's or dementia, there's a separate building designed for safety; this area is secured to help if someone tends to wander, and residents wear bracelets that trigger alarms if they leave safe areas, with a computerized system that alerts the staff so no one gets lost, and 24-hour supervision means help is always there; there are also specialized activities like memory-enhancing games, music therapy, pet visits, and programs focused on both mental health and developmental disabilities.
The home encourages everyone to get involved, whether it's stretching classes, games, gardening, movie nights, holiday parties, birthdays, or joining spiritual or devotional services with visiting chaplains or priests-they welcome both Catholic and Protestant faiths, plus LDS, and offer a bit of something for everyone, with activities happening on-site or sometimes off-site for a change of pace. There's also a book room, movie entertainment, a jacuzzi, sauna, hairdresser, and plenty of spots indoors or outdoors to relax, socialize, or spend quiet time.
Residents who want independence but like having people nearby can join in social events or use resort-style amenities, with support available if needs change, so it's easy to age in place. Transportation is offered free for appointments, errands, and even church services. The home has clear rules-no indoor smoking anywhere, pets are allowed, wheelchair-accessible showers come standard, and there's safe parking for residents.
US Inns, Inc holds membership in the Washington State Residential Care Council and is inspected by the state's Department of Social Services, so standards stay consistent. Families started this home originally for loved ones, which means they keep things family-focused-the staff gets to know residents, keeps things tidy and cheerful, and helps everyone feel at home all year round thanks to a place built on care, patience, and attention, rather than big crowds or busy schedules. There's a one-time community fee and an extra charge if someone needs short-term respite care, useful if a caregiver needs a break or short support after a hospital stay. Specialist visits like podiatrists, dentists, or hospice care can be arranged, which helps keep health needs from piling up, and high-speed Wi-Fi and cable TV mean downtime's never boring. Residents get support for all sorts of needs while having space for privacy, relaxation, and family visits during regular hours, Monday through Sunday.
