Villagio AFH sits in a quiet spot in Newcastle, Washington, and takes care of up to six residents in a home-like setting, offering both studio apartments and one-bedroom suites, where floors are non-slip and there are wheelchair accessible showers and private baths, and folks can live with their cats and dogs if they want to, so the place feels even more like home. They build individual care plans for each resident, handle Parkinson's care, help with spoon-feeding, bathing, moving, and aide with medication, and they'll help residents get from place to place within the home, which comes in handy for those with mobility problems or who need transfers whether by helping hands or using mechanical lifts. The grounds are fully secured, including special technology and bracelets to keep residents who might wander safe, especially in the memory care section that's built for folks with Alzheimer's or those who have big behavior challenges, and the property's got landscaped walking paths and well-kept yards for spending time outside when the weather's decent.
They've always got staff up and awake all day and night, with an on-call nurse and doctor, and they bring in other healthcare folks too, like podiatrists, physical and occupational therapists, and speech therapists. There's a monthly physician checkup, regular health checks by nurses, and people there will monitor diabetes, manage medication, remind residents about the bathroom, and offer help with grooming and dressing, and they provide personal laundry service as well. If someone's struggling with incontinence, showing behaviors like wandering, acting out, or needing behavioral support, the trained staff will keep an eye on things and respond as needed, right down to managing unscheduled needs at any time.
Meals are made fresh, including home-cooked dishes, chef-prepared dining options, and special diets like kosher or vegetarian if needed, and all the utilities are paid for. There's also concierge service, transportation, and resident parking for those that need it. Activities aren't in short supply either, with computer learning classes, card games, movie nights, exercise classes, piano music, and daily events, plus bigger gatherings for families and celebrations for holidays or special occasions. For those who want spiritual support, there are devotional services, and you can get a massage or use the beautician service if you like.
The community welcomes folks who need respite care, hospice support, help with mental health and developmental disabilities, and the team carries out counseling for residents and their families too, so everyone gets some guidance as care needs change. The state of Washington licenses Villagio AFH as an Adult Family Home under number 248204, and DSHS has them registered. The place isn't flashy but puts effort into comfort, safety, and making daily life a bit easier for seniors who need a hand, whether it's with medical care, personal care, or just a friendly face around the place.
