Sherwood Forest AFH sits in Spokane Valley, Washington, just off Pines Road and the freeway, and since 2007, the staff there has provided care for up to six seniors at a time, working to make the place both clean and friendly for those who need help with daily things like dressing, bathing, or managing medicines. The staff stays awake and ready to help day and night and tries to treat everyone like family, with private and semi-private rooms that include wheelchair-accessible showers, bath tubs, and sometimes private bathrooms, along with a bell system for security. English is spoken throughout, and the home welcomes both men and women over 55, allowing pets for those who want their companions close by, and the community keeps a no-smoking rule inside, both in private and public areas.
Meals come homemade and tailored to different medical needs, including gluten-free, low or no sodium, and no sugar if needed, along with options for guests and anytime dining, and residents can enjoy three fresh meals each day, whether eating with others in the indoor common areas or using the private dining room. Recreation and activity are a steady part of life at Sherwood Forest AFH, where residents can join BBQs, dances, happy hours, birthday parties, exercise programs, music-there's even pet therapy and movie nights-or just relax in the garden space or reading room, and there's support for going out to devotional activities or off-site events as well. The team arranges for transportation to appointments, faith services, or errands, with parking and public transit nearby, and they help coordinate visits with doctors, nurses, dentists, or traveling barbers and stylists. For those needing extra support, the place covers assisted living, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, diabetic and incontinence care, high acuity care, and therapy services like speech, physical, or occupational therapy-all regulated by the Washington Department of Social Services under license number 750145.
The environment aims to help each person stay as independent as possible, but when help's needed, there's always staff to assist with things like mobility, hygiene, dressing, or getting to and from the shower. Sherwood Forest AFH offers both hospice and respite care for short-term or end-of-life needs, and while it's a small home, the community tries to make life meaningful with everything from creative activities and game nights to regular social events and outdoor relaxation. Prices for assisted living start around $3,000 a month, with costs changing based on what support and room type is needed, and the place keeps an open feeling with indoor and outdoor spaces for gathering or relaxing. Reviews show folks appreciate the attentive caregivers, homemade food, and clean, safe surroundings. Sherwood Forest AFH belongs to a group of homes in the Spokane area like Still Waters AFH and Sunshine Adult Family Home II, and it keeps a close, family-friendly atmosphere, offering guidance and consultation to families looking for help.
