Gentle Hands Home Care LLC in Kennewick, WA, serves seniors who need different levels of help, from basic daily tasks to care for dementia, physical disabilities, or mental health needs, and the small size with only six licensed beds makes it a quieter, home-like space with a close community. The staff here, including caregivers like Alla, show a patient and gentle approach, and folks say the residence stays clean, never has those unpleasant smells some expect, and offers private rooms for both men and women. Folks get personal care such as grooming, help with meals, toileting, medication, moving around, and there's always 24-hour care, which means there's always somebody awake and ready to help, plus a registered nurse is on call at all times. Gentle Hands' caregivers follow strict screening, background checks, and keep up licenses, and they travel to provide care at home too, offering non-medical services for seniors in the community, with options for private pay or Medicaid.
The place offers assisted living and adult family home care, as well as services for people on hospice, those who need memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, and folks with developmental disabilities, stroke recovery, or traumatic brain injuries, and they develop individual care plans, which they update as needs change. Residents get meals made for special diets, pureed options for those who need it, and light housekeeping and laundry are part of daily life, with amenities like internet, cable TV, air conditioning, a patio, gardens, and an activity room for programs like Bible study, bingo, board games, coloring, movie nights, exercises, gardening, and more.
There's support for medical and dental appointments, help with mental health, oxygen therapy, wound care, blood glucose tests, specialty diets, tube feeding, and care for people who can't get out of bed easily. Gentle Hands gives regular entertainment, offers range of motion exercises, has support for vision and hearing problems, brings in salon services, and keeps care private and respectful. Home visits from nurses, social workers, therapists, and dietitians are available, and the building is accessible for wheelchairs and walkers.
Gentle Hands accepts both private pay and Medicaid, and has a care planner tool to help families figure out what level of support fits. The place is certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and licensed by the state under number 753316, so it meets regulated standards for safety and quality. Rates range from $21 to $41 per hour depending on the services chosen, and rooms come in smart layouts, including one-bedroom apartments. With visiting hours from 9:00am to 8:00pm and daily activities, the small size helps the staff give personal attention and build a loving, clean, peaceful home for anyone who needs round-the-clock care, short-term help, or a longer stay with hospice support.
