Victoria AFH sits between Lake Washington and Puget Sound in Seattle, offering a home-like setting for seniors needing help with daily life like dressing, bathing, and getting around, especially folks with dementia, Alzheimer's, stroke, mental health needs, or other chronic conditions like diabetes, and it accepts long-term life insurance for care services. The Adult Family Home runs with a licensed capacity for 6 beds, giving everyone more personal attention, and residents can choose private rooms with individual climate controls and cable TV, plus ground floor access for easy movement. Staff includes a Certified Nursing Assistant, Maria Corbu, with extra training in dementia and mental health, and there's always a nurse on staff, a doctor on call, and visiting specialists like a podiatrist, dentist, and therapists for physical, speech, and occupational needs, ready to help with everything from medication management to incontinence and high-acuity care.
Victoria AFH focuses on memory care, with a purpose-built and secured section, wandering alert systems, alarm bracelets, and 24-hour awake staff, offering specialized support for Alzheimer's, dementia, stroke, Parkinson's, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, hospital rehab, and even hospice or terminal illness care. There's help with all activities of daily living-bathing, dressing, feeding, medication administration, catheter care, and vital sign checks, and the staff can handle lifting or transfers using mechanical lifts or a two-person team, which helps keep everyone safe. People who sometimes show odd or aggressive behaviors can also have the support they need in this smaller, more closely watched group.
Each day, the community serves one to two prepared meals, with options like kosher, vegetarian, international cuisines, low salt and no sugar, along with room service and special meal programs; on-site laundry and housekeeping keep things tidy, while a beautician and devotional services are always available too, and folks can keep a dog or cat if they want. Outdoor and indoor common areas, wheelchair accessible showers, private baths, and full kitchens help make daily life comfortable and easy, while social and wellness programs offer things like gardening, art and stretching classes, on- and off-site trips, and transportation for appointments.
Victoria AFH offers private and communal spaces designed to be clean, safe, and welcoming, encouraging independence and privacy but also support and connection, and the care team does regular assessments to update wellness plans that support physical, mental, and spiritual health as needed, with levels of care ranging from light to heavy, so people don't have to move if their needs change. Housekeeping, cable, Wi-Fi, and resident parking are included, and the staff aims to help seniors feel like part of a close-knit community, providing an alternative to nursing homes by blending professional care with a genuine sense of home. Information is being updated as more details become available about the programs and services unique to Victoria AFH.
