Happy Family Adult Family Home 3

Happy Family Adult Family Home 3 sits in the Bitter Lake area of Seattle, offering care in a small, family-style home for up to 6 residents, and the caregivers stay on site day and night, always ready to help with the basics like medication, meals, and getting around, and you'll see residents with all sorts of needs, from help with daily things like bathing and eating, all the way to those with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other medical or mental health issues, since this place has a strong focus on supporting memory care and folks in early to late stages of dementia, using things like secured memory care units and bracelets that alert staff if a resident starts to wander off, and they welcome people who may have difficult behaviors or a tendency to leave, plus they have the right systems to watch for safety and manage health and behavior problems as they show up. The home accepts Medicaid but not Medicare, and it's been fully licensed and checked by local authorities, with a history of strong reviews about the friendly staff, clean home, and healthy meals, and it's even got a "Best of Senior Living 2025" award lately. Rooms here have kitchens or kitchenettes and private baths, useful for those who want a little independence, and if you need a wheelchair, the rooms, showers, and common spaces will fit and support easy movement. You'll find indoor spaces with a fireplace, spots outdoors to relax, and even small extras like cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a hair salon on site, plus a library if you like to read, and meals include options for all sorts of diets-gluten-free, vegan, and low salt. For activities, there's always a range, from bingo and movie nights to arts and crafts, book clubs, devotional activities, exercise classes like yoga and stretching, and outings to parks or shops nearby, but reviews note that, like lots of small care homes, planned activities or group outings can be limited at times. They do allow pets at times with approval, and residents can sometimes bring a dog or cat. The team really helps with more than just health, offering support to families and education about aging, and prices for a private room run $4,500 monthly, which is below the county and state average, or around $5,500 for a larger one-bedroom, which is a bit more than the area average but less than most of Washington. If you're worried about getting more help as needs change, this home can provide non-ambulatory care, skilled assistance with lifts, diabetes management, incontinence care, and even hospice or respite when it's needed. The bus lines and vibrant community mean families can visit-and visiting hours are from 9 in the morning to 8 at night-and residents get easy access to nearby parks, hospitals, pharmacies, and cafes, so there's always something close by. Overall, Happy Family Adult Family Home 3 is a modest, straightforward place for those who want a homelike setting, plenty of care, and a touch of independence as their health changes, with a staff that's known for warmth and steady attention, even if it can't offer all the bells and whistles of a larger facility.
