Gentle Shepherd Adult Family Home sits in Kirkland, Washington, and has six licensed beds for seniors needing help with daily living. The home feels like a regular house, with porches and tree-lined walking paths, and there's a courtyard to enjoy the outdoors. Residents live in private or semi-private rooms, including studio apartment options, and safety features are built in. The home gives help with things like getting dressed, bathing, managing incontinence, and eating, and staff can spoon-feed when needed. There's care for people with dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and special needs, and the place also welcomes those with developmental disabilities or mental health needs. A registered nurse checks on each person once a month, and licensed nurses handle medications. Custom care plans guide support, and staff always stay close by to help.
The kitchen puts out three meals a day with snacks always available, with chef-prepared dishes and a menu that supports special diets, including pureed foods and meals set up for dementia care needs. Dining is all-inclusive, and there's a café on-site. Special occasions like birthdays are celebrated with catering. With only six residents, the home keeps a friendly and personal environment, and there's a focus on honest reviews and individualized care.
Families can visit most of the day, with flexible visiting hours, parking on site, and scheduled family gatherings planned. There's a library, game room, fitness center, salon, and a movie room, plus a wellness center and therapy room. Residents can enjoy gardening, creative games, walks, and group activities, all organized on a busy calendar. The staff drive residents to appointments if needed, and there's concierge service. The building has Wi-Fi, emergency systems in every room, and a 24-hour security system, with accessible paths for seniors with mobility needs.
Each unit has an in-room washer and dryer, housekeeping, and trash removal included. Utilities come with the rent, except phone service. Pharmacy services are offered on site, and monthly rent changes based on the room and level of care required. Gentle Shepherd accepts both cats and dogs. The facility is licensed in Washington under license number 413902. Medicare isn't accepted unless CMS certifies it. Tours are available, and residents or families can get more information about services, amenities, and housing by asking the staff.
