New Horizons #2 sits at 14209 SE 180th Pl in Renton, WA, and works as an Adult Family Home certified for up to six residents, so the place feels more like a house than a big facility, and folks live in either private or semi-private rooms, each with its own bathroom, and the whole property is on the ground floor with wheelchair access all the way through, even the showers, and there's covered parking out front, options for public transit nearby, and transportation for a fee to appointments or errands, but resident parking is also available for those who still drive. New Horizons #2 is part of a larger health resource that lets people find other retirement communities and providers around Issaquah and Renton, tying into places like Merrill Gardens at Renton Centre for skilled nursing, but this location focuses on daily life and care in a small, close-knit setting with staff who speak Croatian, Russian, and English, and who give 24-hour supervision with nurses always on-site.
The home welcomes seniors with a variety of needs and supports folks with Alzheimer's, dementia, memory issues, diabetes, and mobility problems, and if someone has incontinence, requires insulin, or needs help moving, transferring, or using lifts, the staff can do that, too, and there's a secure system to prevent wandering, including bracelets and alerts if someone tries to leave a safe area. Bathrooms are private with accessible tubs and showers, the rooms come modern and furnished, small pets like cats under 15 lbs can live here, and smoking is allowed outdoors. Memory care is a big focus, with special areas only for those with dementia, keeping independence and privacy whenever possible, and care levels vary from light to heavy depending on what each person needs, so folks can get help with dressing, bathing, medication, and behavior management.
Meals get prepared with care for health-there are choices for no salt, no sugar, vegetarian, vegan, organic, or even kosher diets, and people can ask for special food if they have diabetes or high blood pressure, and dining goes anytime in either a restaurant-style group, in rooms, or with room service, plus coffee and snacks are around. Activities run every day with art, music, board games, brain fitness, stretching and chair yoga, live shows, happy hour, picnics in the garden, barbecues, and even animal and music therapy set up now and then-there's also intergenerational programs, reading room, library, and movie nights, and on holidays or birthdays it's common to celebrate together. People can use the Wi-Fi, watch satellite TV, get haircuts from the mobile beautician, and enjoy time on the patio, in the TV lounge, or sometimes the wellness area or garden if the weather's right.
Day programs offer structure for someone who doesn't need to stay overnight, and respite care is there for families who need a break. Staff help with daily reminders, transfers, and even more involved medical needs, keeping safety front and center, since the state looks in twice a year to check compliance, and Washington's Department of Social Services manages the licensing, which is always up to date, and the Better Business Bureau has given New Horizons #2 an A+ rating for their records. The facility supports community and individuality, encouraging every resident to join in social nights, community volunteering, educational talks, or devotional sessions on site or off, and when it's time to go to the doctor or a spiritual activity, transportation can be arranged.
The home gives priority to a peaceful, family-friendly setting, building schedules and care around each person's abilities and history, all while supporting independence, privacy, and decision-making whenever possible, and when someone's life changes, the staff adapts care to match, aiming to keep daily life active, predictable, and safe for every resident there.
