Nov Adult Family Homes sits on 2233 80th Ave SE in the Meydenbauer area of Mercer Island, Washington, right in an upper-class neighborhood with an average income of about $128,906, and houses up to six residents at a time. This is a small, home-like place where seniors and adults with disabilities get support in daily life, whether they need a little bit of help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, or more ongoing care such as memory support and high-acuity medical help, with nurses on staff and a doctor available when needed. Residents can have a private or shared room, including their own bathroom, and there are spaces for families, indoor and outdoor common areas, and safety measures such as a security system and wheelchair-accessible showers, which makes things easy and comfortable especially for people who need physical support.
Staff is always there 24 hours a day, offering everything from meal preparation-three home-cooked meals a day, including diets for diabetes or high blood pressure-to medication and incontinence help, helping with things like getting in and out of the shower, getting dressed, and personal grooming. There are memory care programs for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the community's secured, which means people who wander are kept safe, and there are memory-enhancing activities, music therapy, pet therapy, outings, fitness schedules, creative programs, board games, and movie entertainment, so boredom doesn't set in. Residents can have cats or dogs if they want and there's even a mobile hairdresser, garden spaces, game rooms, a spa, a jacuzzi, and a steam room. Transportation to medical appointments, shopping, and faith-based events comes with the package, and people with wheelchairs or mobility concerns have access everywhere, including the bathrooms.
Nov Adult Family Homes offers a board and care home service, so this is a more personal place than a big building, and the care is tailored to the few people living there. They accept both male and female residents, and some homes are women-only. Medicaid is accepted, and there's respite care for short-term needs or after a hospital stay, along with hospice care if someone needs end-of-life support. Physical, occupational, and other therapies are available, and healthcare services cover diabetes care, wound care, recovery after surgery, and more medical needs, with a podiatrist, dentist, and speech therapist available as needed. Private parking is available, and public transit is nearby, so family or visitors can get there easily.
The community focuses on a safe, homelike setting, offers vegetarian meal options, and supports residents' independence and well-being while helping with whatever they can't do for themselves. Reviews are solid, usually scoring above nine out of ten, and the starting price for memory care is about $4,500 a month, but that can go up depending on care needs and room type. Nov Adult Family Homes is designed for those looking for a smaller, quieter place with a strong community feeling, where every resident's care is personal and nobody's just a number.
