Better Living AFH sits in Burien, WA, operating as an Adult Family Home that provides personal care for seniors and adults who need support with daily living. The home has 5 licensed beds, and residents have access to round-the-clock staff help for things like bathing, getting dressed, eating, medicine reminders, and health monitoring, and there's always someone around to offer a hand if needed, with staff who are friendly and make the place feel welcoming and comfortable. There's a large, sunny common room where people can meet, visit, or just relax, plus an outdoor deck which is nice when the weather is good, along with Wi-Fi, a dining space, and transport and parking for visitors. The meals are known for being healthy and tasty, and there's praise for the activities that keep residents involved in body, mind, and spirit, so people can stay as active as they're able, whether that's socializing, exercising, or joining group events. The facility accepts private pay only and isn't certified for Medicaid or Medicare unless the certification gets updated, but it is properly licensed and surveyed by government agencies.
Better Living AFH is part of a larger network-about 18 homes across South King County and the Eastside-and offers extra management support and consulting for other senior housing providers, so the team there has a good amount of experience and resources. They also share articles and information to help folks and families understand options about aging, care, and what's best for different health needs, with special attention given to memory care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, since the building has safety features to help prevent confusion and wandering. The home has qualifications to care for people with dementia, mental health conditions, or developmental disabilities, and support can include help with mobility, hygiene and cleaning, help with eating, personal care, and supervision for individuals with disabilities. There's always an option for one-on-one attention, and care plans are set up to fit each person's needs. The on-site care team can help with incontinence, too, and every resident gets an individualized plan that can be adjusted as things change. Visiting hours are usually from 9:00 in the morning until 8:00 at night, so families have time to come by and check in.
Besides the main home, there's a range of properties in the Better Living AFH portfolio, like a 4-bedroom, 3-bath house in Medina that would work for rentals or updates, a big vacant lot in Medina where someone might build something custom, and a fancy home on Lake Washington with three bedrooms, high-end finishes, lake frontage and its own dock, and even a media room and gym. There are other listings too, like a Capitol Hill house with five bedrooms and a multi-bed home in Downtown Burien, as well as a fenced garage co-op with space for several vehicles or collectibles. Plus, some land in Lynnwood's ready for commercial or residential building, and most of the properties have modern features, including separate heating controls in the garages. Everything comes together for a setup where seniors and adults can get both comfort and practical help when they need it, delivered by a group that focuses on both health and everyday living.
