Allen Homecare is a licensed adult family home in Kirkland, WA, found at 12742 Northeast 132 Place, sitting in a quiet neighborhood close to Evergreen Health Medical Center, and it keeps things homelike and comfortable, focusing mainly on memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of dementia, although it takes people needing help with daily activities or those who need high acuity or diabetic care as well. The facility holds only six residents at a time, which means every person gets attention and care that fit their own needs, with a registered nurse named Nora Allen running things and checking up on each resident. Each person gets a private room, sometimes with its own bathroom and access to a deck, so everyone can enjoy some sunlight or quiet on the large deck, and if you've got a cat or dog, you can bring them too, since Allen Homecare does allow pets and even has pet care available.
Resident care goes around the clock, with staff looking after medication, incontinence issues, and more serious medical needs, and for anyone who struggles to get around, wheelchair accessible showers are on hand. The place offers home-cooked meals that can fit special diets like vegetarian, with dining happening in a shared area so people can eat together if they want, and there are daily activities like music, games, and simple exercises to keep minds and bodies active. The staff can help with things like bathing, dressing, and keeping track of medications, but won't do heavy medical treatments like a hospital might. Allen Homecare gives people the option for short stays, which helps when family caregivers need a break, and the overall setup keeps a residential feel, making things safe and familiar, while also offering conveniences like parking, transportation, a sun deck, and proximity to public transit.

The average reported price sits close to $275 around the area, but final costs depend on care needs, and you'd need to check with them for the latest details. Allen Homecare holds steady consultation hours, keeping lines open from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM on weekdays and somewhat shorter hours on weekends, and their information is easy to look up if you ever want to know more about senior care options.
