Premier Care Living Afh sits in a peaceful neighborhood in Pioneer Trails in Everett, Washington, surrounded by lakes, parks, and fruit trees, with six licensed beds in a quiet, family-like house that feels more like a real home than a big facility, and the environment encourages residents to age in place, so people can stay as their needs change. Staff work around the clock, staying awake and ready to help, and they've been doing this for about 13 years with a reputation for friendly, polite, and responsive care, and the staff are all well-trained, handling things like catheter care, colostomy care, feeding tubes, Hoyer lifts, non-ambulatory needs, medication and insulin management, blood sugar checks, and can help residents who need reminders for daily activities like grooming or toileting. There are both male and female residents, and the facility welcomes people who need care for developmental disabilities, mental health needs, memory issues, and dementia, so there's memory care in a secured, purpose-built part of the home, where they use alarm bracelets and other technology to prevent wandering.
Premier Care Living Afh is licensed as an Adult Family Home by the state and offers intermediate care and assisted living for those who can't live by themselves safely but don't need a nursing home, covering everything from basic help to more skilled caregiving, like two-person assisted transfers, mechanical lift transfers, and standby help for residents who can't move alone. Nurses are on staff, plus doctors, dentists, podiatrists, social workers, and therapists are on call or visit, so healthcare support is steady, and there's hospice and respite care for those who need it. The staff can manage behaviors if someone gets confused or upset, so they accept people with Alzheimer's and dementia who might wander, act out, or need more attention, and the secured memory care area is set up to help them feel safe and comfortable.
The house is roomy with wheelchair accessible showers, private and semi-private rooms, and open common areas both inside and outside, where the community hosts lots of social, educational, and recreational activities, both at home and sometimes out in the area, with devotional services also available. They focus on helping people keep their social connections and independence as much as possible, plus a family feeling is strong, as the home puts a lot into being caring and trustworthy with a focus called "Promises to Care with Love." Caregivers help with meals, laundry, mobility, hygiene, and other activities of daily living, and they cater food to special dietary needs, including kosher and vegetarian, and the food's considered good with enough variety to make most people happy at mealtimes.
Transportation's available and there's resident parking, plus pets are allowed, and the home is non-smoking inside. There's a beautician on site offering haircuts and other services, and they host both onsite and offsite activities to keep people busy and involved. Therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available. Residents who are at risk for wandering, elopement, or require monitoring throughout the night get the support and safety gear they need, so families tend to feel relieved knowing someone's always looking out for their loved ones.
Memory care fees start around $8,000 for semi-private rooms and $8,500 for private one-bedroom rooms, though prices can vary based on care needs, and Medicare isn't accepted unless the facility's certified by CMS, but most other forms of payment are accepted. Visiting hours run from 9:00am to 8:00pm, and programs are in place to support both the residents and their families, keeping a sense of belonging and support for everyone involved. The community's small on purpose, making it easier to know each resident as a person and not just a room number, and the home really makes an effort to stay calm, private, and loving-tucked away from noisy roads but close enough for family and friends to visit easily.
