Evergreen Gardens AFH Shattuck in Renton, WA 98055 is an Adult Family Home with 6 licensed beds for seniors who need help but don't require full nursing care. This place tailors care plans for each person and welcomes seniors with Alzheimer's, dementia, developmental disabilities, or mental health conditions. It offers assisted living, respite care, and strong memory care with 24-hour nurse-managed support, medication management, and activities that help with memory and cognition, including a Montessori-based dementia program. Wheelchair access makes getting around simple, and there are rooms with private patios or decks, plus wheelchair accessible showers, so residents can feel comfortable and safe.
The staff keeps a low caregiver-to-resident ratio-about one caregiver for every two residents, with registered nurses always available. They offer lots of help with daily needs like bathing, personal care, oxygen, diabetes management, wound care, and even feeding tubes or tracheostomy care. Seniors who can't live alone anymore but don't need a nursing home find an intermediate level of care here, and those who have had a stroke, a traumatic brain injury, or need total care or help after surgery also receive specialized services.
Meals come from special dining programs, and custom diets get respected. Residents are welcome to bring small pets for visits, though animals don't live onsite. The activities team runs a full schedule with bingo, painting classes, music, reading, puzzles, story time, coloring, exercise groups, gardening, and movie nights. Outings to parks, shopping, restaurants, and gentle walks happen often, made easier by on-site transportation. The grounds include a garden, fruit trees, and views of water or mountains, so there's always something peaceful to look at or do outdoors, and during power outages a generator keeps everything working.
Medical professionals like doctors, podiatrists, therapists, psychologists, and dietitians visit regularly. Help is available for all kinds of health needs, including blood sugar checks, incontinence care, speech and physical therapy, pharmacy delivery, and laundry. The emergency call buttons and a 24/7 staff add a sense of security, and the community encourages people to decorate their rooms with personal items from home.
Residents have private rooms and telephones, cable or satellite TV with on-demand features including Spanish channels, and high-speed guest WiFi. Family and friends can visit between 9:00am and 8:00pm. The facility fits walkers and wheelchairs, and has easy access to local shops and hospitals for those who need to get out and about for appointments or fun. The staff and nurses at Evergreen Gardens AFH Shattuck support independence as much as possible, help residents stay engaged, and try to make daily life as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
