Bethel Home 3 sits at 9113 Onyx Drive Southwest, in Lakewood, Washington, and looks after just six residents, which means folks here usually get more attention and care than in bigger places, plus it's owned and managed by nurses and that tends to make things pretty steady and reliable because care is always front and center no matter what. Now, this Adult Family Home handles quite a few health situations, including memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, high acuity needs, medication help, diabetes care, wound care, and pretty serious needs like trach care and total care for people who are quadriplegic, and when a resident needs help with things like walking, bathing, or eating, there's always 24-hour help available, either right on site with LPNs and RNs or quickly by phone, which seems to be important to people wanting a safe spot with a lot of care. The personal attention comes with detailed care plans made for each person, whether someone's managing complex medical needs, a developmental disability, or needs behavior support and even mental health help, and visiting doctors come right to the home, so people don't always have to leave for appointments.
The house itself has wheelchair and walker access, air conditioning, and a system for emergencies, plus private baths and tub or accessible shower rooms to keep things comfortable and let folks move around safely, and there's always help nearby if needed. There are both indoor and outdoor spaces to gather, walk, or relax, and gardens too, which can be nice for peaceful sitting, plus a smoking area for those who want it. For social time, residents get devotional activities, Bible study, hobby activities like puzzles or dancing, plus therapy involving pets and regular outings, sometimes just a walk around the lake, or group trips in their own bus. Birthdays and holidays get celebrated, which helps people stay connected. Nutrition matters, so meal service includes vegetarian options and specialized diets, along with medication management overseen by a pharmacy team, and blood pressure or glucose checks as needed, along with services for tube feeding or even oxygen therapy when people need support at that level.
Bethel Home 3 supports several languages, including English, Spanish, Arabic, and Filipino, making it easier for people from different backgrounds to feel at home. Residents can use high-speed internet, and there's guest WiFi for visitors. Transportation comes both complimentary at times and at a cost for special trips, with parking available for those who visit, and people can come to visit any day between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM, making it easier for families to stay involved. Live-in provider services help keep things running smoothly around the clock so no one's left waiting for help. The home also takes steps for safety, like a fall prevention program, and keeps a secure environment, especially for people with memory conditions who might wander. Home health and palliative care are possible here, but hospice care's not available, so families should know that upfront. Tours are offered during the week and weekends, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, for those wanting to see things for themselves before deciding. Everything's licensed under number 510701, and that usually gives some peace of mind to those checking off lists about safety and standards.
