Abab Sweet Home is a small senior living community in Lynnwood, WA, with just six units, so folks get plenty of attention from the staff, and you'll notice right away how it's got memory care, nursing home care, and Alzheimer's care all in the same place, which means it can handle different stages of dementia, even for people who might wander or need close watching, and they know how to work with people who have mental health or development disabilities too. The community's set up with studio and one-bedroom apartments, plus some shared living, so everyone can pick what suits them, and all six rooms have baths, and they're wheelchair friendly. Staff are around 24/7 for things like reminders, medication, blood sugar checks, and insulin shots, plus they'll help with incontinence, getting dressed, and even using lifts for folks who need help moving. People who need close attention, like those with behavioral challenges or who need two-person transfers, can stay right here, and the goal is to let folks stay as their needs change, so there's no need to move when care levels go up.
The place has all kinds of choices for meals, including vegetarian and kosher, and a chef prepares the food, plus there's a bistro and private dining space. Residents can have their own cars or take the community's transportation, and parking's on site. For keeping busy, there's a games room, movie nights, religious services, a chapel, and both indoor and outdoor common areas where you'll see pets like dogs and cats welcome, and the staff offers a full schedule of activities that aim to help everyone keep their minds working and get social with each other. They've got massage therapy, visits from a barber, a nurse on-call, monitoring features for safety, and big TVs in the common rooms. Folks will find pharmacy services, registered dietitian support, and hospice care if it's needed. Devotional services are available both onsite and off. Abab Sweet Home accepts people who are at risk for leaving or for acting out, and staff take care with a controlled memory care environment that tries to balance freedom and safety, and they build custom health plans for everyone, so families can feel reassured. Visiting hours run from 9 in the morning to 8 at night, which lets family pop in most of the day. Residents can age in place here, since they handle just about any health or care need, including high-acuity attention, diabetes care with sliding scale insulin, behavioral care, and more across Snohomish County.
