Twin Lakes AFH sits in a quiet secured golf course community in Federal Way, WA, serving King County and the surrounding areas like Renton, Kent, Seattle, and Burien, and it's got a peaceful family-like environment with only six licensed beds and all private rooms, so every resident has plenty of space and privacy, and the folks there get twenty-four hour care from compassionate caregivers, who are also the live-in owners, always making sure at least two staff members are present so there's help nearby at all times. The facility is an Adult Family Home, called AFH for short, and it often goes by names like Pacific Northwest Home Care, STAR LAKE ADULT FAMILY HOME, Casa Di Cura, Joyful Place, Water View, Golden Care, Serene Manor, and Water View Adult Family Home, with separate facilities featuring different touches like Sunshine Park, Serenity, and Loving Place, so each home has its own feel but always keeps that small home comfort.
Twin Lakes AFH offers care for adults and seniors, focusing on those who need help with things like memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, mental health support, and high acuity needs, and they can handle things like diabetes management, incontinence care, medication help, and other medical tasks, plus there's skilled nursing and board and care home options, and even hospice or respite care if that's needed for a short stay. The caregivers speak English and Filipino, making it easier for residents with different backgrounds, and they work hard to support residents with more challenging needs like sundowning or difficult behaviors, constantly adjusting their care approach so everyone feels understood and safe.
Residents at Twin Lakes AFH get home-cooked meals, including vegetarian options, and snacks throughout the day, plus indoor and outdoor common areas for relaxing, and there's a beautician on-site for grooming, as well as activities both inside and offsite like social events, music, and devotional services, and people can bring cats and dogs if they want, which helps the place feel even more like home. The rooms all have private bathrooms and wheelchair accessible showers, so moving around and personal care is easier, and there's parking, transportation, and plenty of areas to hang out or visit with others, though no one's allowed to smoke inside any part of the home. There's a doctor, nurse, and dentist available when needed, and special emphasis is placed on keeping the place clean and well-maintained while still being warm and welcoming.
Twin Lakes AFH also has a Medicaid license for those who qualify, and can work with residents who have developmental disabilities or mental health needs, offering memory care and personalized supports designed to fit the needs of everyone living there, with visiting hours from 9:00am to 8:00pm, so friends and family can drop by often. The staff puts a lot of thought into making sure each new resident fits well with the group, always considering how everyone gets along, and they put care into helping newcomers adjust and feel comfortable, really focusing on the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing of each person, creating an intimate, nurturing setting where help and independence go hand-in-hand.
