Pleasant Comfort AFH sits on North Dorset Road in Spokane, Washington, at the base of the foothills near the Spokane River, and it's a licensed Adult Family Home with the Washington state license number 753066. This home's got 8 licensed beds, so it's pretty small and that's good for folks who like a close-knit, home-like space, and they offer private and semi-private rooms, including studios and 1-bedroom units with lots of closet space, and some rooms even have balconies or views of water and mountains. The building always stays clean with daily laundry and a no-smoking policy indoors. They've got everything from walking trails and a greenhouse to a snack shop, Wi-Fi, and a beauty shop, so people have chances to stay busy or just sit and listen to bird songs out in the yard. People living here get home-cooked meals with a focus on nutritious foods, and staff will accommodate special diets if needed.
They've got care for seniors dealing with low mobility, dementia, mental health, developmental disabilities, vision or hearing problems, and they're set up for active fall prevention and wheelchair accessible showers, and you can see the staff use translation apps to help with communication if language is a barrier. Someone's always around, with doctors and nurses on call, a dentist available, and 24-hour caregivers who give help where it's needed most-like bathing, showers, going to the bathroom, medication management, managing feeding tubes or oxygen, and support after a stroke or brain injury. There are programs designed for residents with Alzheimer's and other memory issues, and they'll work with residents on things like walking, range of motion, and even speech if that's needed. The staff keep electronic medical records, so things stay organized, and family DPOAs can access these records if they need to.
Activities happen indoors and out-from arts and crafts to gardening, bingo, painting, or just enjoying movies in the theatre room, and people can take part in devotional services if they want. There's a wellness program, health monitoring, blood glucose checks, blood thinner checks, manicures, and haircuts, and if someone needs help eating or with continence management, that's provided too. Respite and hospice care is available, and they've got therapy services in-house or arranged through home health, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and podiatrist visits also happen onsite. Residents can bring pets if they'd like, and their visitors have parking spots, with visiting hours from 9 in the morning until 8 at night. There's an emergency system in every room, a full fire sprinkler set-up across the home, and complimentary transportation for doctor visits or group outings. A concierge service helps residents and their families with any unique needs.
You can take a tour of Pleasant Comfort AFH on weekdays or weekends during the day, and surveyors from the state and agencies like the Department of Aging check on the facility regularly to make sure rules get followed.
