Best Care, Inc. is a licensed adult family home in a quiet residential neighborhood of Kirkland, Washington, with room for up to six residents. The home offers a calm place where seniors get help with daily living, like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management, and there's always staff around to keep people safe day and night. The facility takes care of a wide range of needs, including memory care for people with dementia and Alzheimer's, care for mental health and developmental disabilities, help for quadriplegic residents, and support for those who need end-of-life or hospice care. Best Care, Inc. doesn't accept Medicare as payment unless certified to do so, but they're fully licensed by state and local governments and undergo regular, unannounced inspections every 12-18 months by the Department of Social and Health Services, so there's oversight to keep clients safe. Staff, including nurses and skilled caregivers, do thorough assessments and provide personalized care plans, making sure everyone gets the right amount of help, whether that's light, moderate, or round-the-clock total care.
The home serves three homemade meals a day with adjustments for special diets and offers laundry, housekeeping, and daily activities like games, exercise, music therapy, reading, and movie nights. Residents can expect holiday and birthday celebrations, fitness programs, art and craft sessions, pet therapy, puzzles, gardening, and walks outside, plus access to a library and quiet reading rooms. There's a traveling hairdresser for on-site styling, emergency call buttons, alarm systems for safety, 24/7 on-call registered nurse help, and support with getting to doctors, shopping, and religious services. Rooms come with cable or satellite TV, private patios, air conditioning, telephones, and internet access, and the whole place is wheelchair and walker accessible. The home is near hospitals and health centers if urgent care is needed, but they've also got nursing services, help with blood sugar checks, wound care, pharmacy and medication delivery, fall prevention programs, physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
Best Care, Inc. offers room and board, as well as respite care for short stays to give family caregivers a break, and can help with everything from light to total care for monthly costs in the $6,000-$6,500 range. The staff can also help residents get to wellness or dental appointments, manage oxygen therapy, handle blood thinner checks, and keep a close eye out for anyone prone to wandering since they've got alarms and secured doors. Residents get to enjoy privacy and a homelike setting, but also shared spaces for recreation and social time, and if someone wants, they can tune in to Chinese, Spanish, or local sports channels. Visiting is allowed daily from 9:00am until 8:00pm, and the home is open for tours between 10:00am and 6:00pm every day, for anyone wanting to get a good look at everything before making any decisions.
