Beacon House sits in Spokane County and works as an adult family home licensed by the State of Washington for six beds, serving seniors with round-the-clock care needs and handling different conditions like dementia, mental health issues, and developmental disabilities, so you see folks living there with very different backgrounds and health needs, from people who want some independence to those who need full medical support. The place has a private, home-like setting where caregivers help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, toileting, getting to the doctor, and even medication management, with medical staff keeping an eye on things like blood sugar, oxygen needs, wound care, and incontinence, and they tackle everything from diabetic care to high-acuity health issues. Beacon House offers independent living for those wanting maintenance-free days, and residents can join social activities or enjoy quiet time in gardens, common areas, or reading rooms, and there's cable television, super high-speed internet, and Wi-Fi for guests, plus rooms that come fully furnished as either private or semi-private, which is handy for folks who want their own quiet space or don't mind sharing.
You get a lot of choice in meals, with adjustments for special diets like kosher, vegetarian, diabetic meals, or just food made to fit doctor's orders for things like hypertension, and the place prides itself on changing up the meal plan when a resident's clinical needs change, and you'll find tubs, showers made for wheelchairs, and all sorts of support for people with mobility needs, including walker or wheelchair access throughout the building. The staff organizes plenty of activities-everything from movie nights, bingo, painting, and coloring to outside activities like lake walks, gardening, fishing, and even barbecue parties, with music, dance, and singing mixed in, plus there's animal therapy and music therapy too, and scheduled devotion activities either on-site or offsite for those who want spiritual time.
Beacon House makes room for both cats and dogs, allowing resident pets and visiting pets, with staff around to help care for them, and there's plenty of transportation options, so you can get a ride to the doctor, shopping, or even hop on a nearby bus if you prefer, and if you have guests, they'll find parking close by and can visit most any time between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm, weekdays and weekends. You'll find spa and wellness areas, a steam room, beauty salon with a mobile hairstylist, and both indoor and outdoor places to relax, smoke, or socialize, and there's an emergency call system in every room, air conditioning, a generator, and it's all fairly close to a hospital, so health emergencies don't get overlooked. Residents in need of short-term help can use respite care for a break before going home or when their usual caregivers take some time off, and staff manage board and care services for those who can't live independently.
Beacon House offers a range of care-from light hands-on help to medium-level support, with prices starting at about $3,000 a month for assisted living and going up to around $4,000-$5,000 per month depending on chosen room or extra needs, so it's important to ask about what's included. The facility operates under license number 751265, with regular inspections, and touring's allowed most any time, making it easier for families to look around before deciding. Amenities like laundry, regular housekeeping, transportation to health or wellness appointments, special diets, exercise schedules, planned music or craft activities, community night events, and recreation rooms aim to keep residents comfortable and active, and staff are always available for extra help with everything from blood thinner INR checks to home health visits with nursing, therapists, or social workers. Beacon House serves as a private adult care home-sometimes called an adult foster home or personal care home depending on state laws-with a staff focused on tailored, respectful care in a smaller, close-knit setting, and the community keeps trying to adjust everything from behavior support to expanded social engagement so everyone feels they belong and can live as well as possible.
