Longhouse Memory Care Household - Bothell sits in a quiet neighborhood at 16605 122nd Place NE and holds space for 15 residents, which gives it a middle size between big hotel-style retirement places and the smaller Adult Family Homes some folks know, and it's part of a group run by Longhouse with support from Husky Senior Care. This place aims to make care personal with small "household" settings, so residents get a sense of home and staff can focus on what each person needs. Folks here get specialized memory care, whether they have Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, or Lou Gehrig's Disease, and trained caregivers are always around, including overnight awake staff, nurses, and helpers who use different languages and even the Validation method for behavioral needs. The community keeps a focus on safety with secure doors, emergency alert systems, and features that make it easier for folks who use wheelchairs or need extra support with walking. Rooms come furnished, with options for private or shared spaces, and the household has a sun porch, open kitchen, comfortable gathering spots, and lots of natural light. There's a garden, gazebo, and outdoor walking paths where residents can get fresh air without feeling locked in, which is important for folks who want to get outside safely.
Daily life here means staff take care of housekeeping, laundry, meals (including help with special diets like for diabetes or allergies), and help folks with bathing, dressing, grooming, and using the bathroom if needed. Medical help covers things like medication management, simple wound care, support for tube feeding, and nursing services when required. Residents can count on activity programs that bring people together, with music therapy, arts and crafts, social events, and even education and fitness options for folks who want to join in. The team encourages independence as much as possible, letting residents do things themselves with supervision and help as needed. There's transportation for those who need to get to appointments or outings, and respite care's available if families need a safe place for loved ones for short stays.
Family members get counseling and support, and staff make a point to keep loved ones in the loop, helping folks compare care options like assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so everyone can understand what's best. The team takes time to review costs, contracts, and care levels so there aren't any surprises, and they recommend talking with other residents and their families to get honest feedback before deciding. With both private and shared rooms, inviting social spaces, and a focus on daily life that keeps people active and comfortable, Longhouse Memory Care Household - Bothell stands as a steady, straightforward choice for folks needing memory care in a smaller but lively setting, with enough staff and support to help residents stay engaged, comfortable, and safe, and to help them stay put if health needs change later in life.
