Pat & Mileta's AFH is a small adult family home in West Seattle, serving up to six residents at a time and offering care for seniors who need help with daily activities and more complex medical needs, like memory care, high acuity care, diabetic assistance, and medication management, and the family-owned feel gives it a more personal touch, which some people might prefer over larger facilities. The house sits close to bus lines, hospitals, pharmacies, parks, and other neighborhood spots, so it's easy for visitors to come or for residents to get out with staff, and there's both indoor and outdoor common space where folks can relax, visit, or join in activities like games, crafts, and excursions. The staff is on-site 24 hours a day, and they help with most things, like bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, monitoring blood sugar, giving insulin, managing medication, and handling incontinence care, and people who need non-ambulatory care or require mechanical lifts for transfers can be accommodated too.
Memory care is a focus here, with a secure building section and a wander guard alert system to keep residents who tend to wander safe, while visiting health professionals like nurses, podiatrists, physical therapists, and speech therapists drop by to support care needs, and the home's able to work with folks who have some major behavior or supervision needs as well. Rooms are private, semi-private, or one-bedroom, many include private baths with wheelchair accessible showers, and you'll find comfort touches like meals served daily (with kosher and vegetarian choices), laundry service, and transportation for medical appointments, errands, or outings, which comes in handy. Meals, social activities, and outings build community, and there's a lived-in, homelike atmosphere with 24-hour awake staff providing supervision, reminders, and help with things like toileting and grooming any time day or night.
Respite and short-term stays are welcome, and those who need hospice care can receive services right there. Pat and Mileta operate the place themselves, under Purple Door, LLC, and the team makes sure to connect residents and their families with senior living advisors for extra help and answers, which can ease transitions. The facility serves seniors and younger adults (under 55 are accepted), both men and women, and has built up a bit of a reputation, with folks giving it a 5-star rating based on reviews, though no prices are published. The doors are open to visitors from 9:00am to 8:00pm most days, so friends and family can stop by. Pat & Mileta's AFH is one of those homes that aims to let people age in place, adjusting care as needs change, and keeps a steady, calm approach for those who might be dealing with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other health concerns, focusing on safety, dignity, and daily comfort.
