Peace and Love AFH

Peace and Love AFH sits at 13813 88th Ave. NE in Kirkland and welcomes seniors who need personalized care in a small, home-like setting with people around all day and night, whether they're staff or on-call, who know what they're doing and care a lot about the residents, and they do a good job keeping families in the loop and working with the medical community, which helps when health problems change quickly. Folks here can get help for a wide range of health issues, including dementia and Alzheimer's, mental health needs, Parkinson's, diabetes, stroke, cancer, and hospice care, and there's also support for respiratory and wound care, Foley catheter needs, and tube feeding, so it's pretty comprehensive without feeling like a big institution because it's more of a board and care-type home. The care team includes certified staff, an on-site RN, a dementia care specialist, and a Nurse Consultant, and they're good at handling memory care and provide specialized support for memory loss residents, and people here often speak English, Spanish, and Arabic, which helps folks from different backgrounds. On-site services cover a lot-the doctor comes by when needed, plus there's physical, speech, and occupational therapy, hospice, foot care, and hearing aid support, and the mobile library and in-home haircut services make things easier for those who can't get out much. Residents can take part in devotional and social activities, and enjoy meals with vegetarian or kosher options, and if someone wants, the care team can handle diabetic diets, too. The home has indoor and outdoor common areas, resident parking, and paid transportation, and rooms have tubs, photos, wheelchair-accessible showers, and are pet-friendly for cats under a certain weight. People who need medication management, incontinence care, diabetic support, high acuity care, or non-ambulatory care will be looked after, and folks can stay on a short-term basis if families need a break-a service called respite care.
