Belicina's AFH

Belicina's AFH is a small adult family home in Seattle, WA 98178 that helps seniors live as comfortably as possible with a strong home-like feel, and with only 5 licensed beds, it's a quiet place where folks can get to know each other and the caregivers pretty well, since it feels more like a family home than a big facility. Caregivers provide 24-hour supervision, including personal care like help with bathing and dressing, daily housekeeping, medication management, and healthy meals, which can be vegetarian if needed, serving them either privately or in the communal dining room where everyone can talk and share. Both private and shared rooms let residents bring their own furniture and put up personal items, and the bedrooms and bathrooms, including showers and tubs, are designed for folks who use wheelchairs or need extra support, so getting around isn't a big worry. Staff are equipped to assist with memory care, dementia, diabetes, incontinence, mental health, and developmental disabilities, and they can handle higher needs, including non-ambulatory care, taking care of folks who need more medical help. The place is built for activity, offering group games, social programs, brain-challenging activities, and chances to make friends through regular events, and there's a special focus on helping residents stay active and keep up some independence. There are activity rooms and shared spaces for socializing, and pets are allowed, with some rules around weight, so folks don't have to give up their cats or dogs. Care is personalized for everyone, and the visiting hours run from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, giving families a good-sized window to drop by and spend time. Transportation for errands or appointments can be arranged for an extra fee, and resident parking is available. Belicina's AFH isn't certified for Medicare, so payment arrangements might be something families need to discuss, but the home operates under a license specific to adult family care homes, following all the state and local guidelines to ensure safety and quality care.
