Alderwood Haven

Alderwood Haven sits in a single-level, recently remodeled building, and every resident has their own private room, which many folks like because it gives them a space to call their own, and you'll notice right away there's always 24-hour staff that's attentive, whether anyone needs help monitoring vital signs, managing medications, or getting a bit of support with daily activities like grooming or eating. This place runs as an adult family home, providing services for seniors who need help with many types of care, including Alzheimer's care, assisted living, and care for dementia, mental health issues, and developmental disabilities, and the trained medical staff are always present, so families can feel like there's an extra set of watchful eyes, with registered nurses and a podiatrist on call, and visiting professionals come out for things like physical therapy, library visits, and hair styling, which gives a bit of variety to the day. For meals, residents get three home-cooked meals every day, made to meet various dietary needs, including vegetarian options if someone asks, and there's help at meal times if needed. The showers are wheelchair accessible, and there's incontinence and diabetic care along with help for those who are non-ambulatory, and support with high acuity health concerns, so folks with complex needs aren't out of place here. Housekeeping and laundry get handled too, which lifts some of the weight off small routines. There's a garden and on-site gardening activities, so those who enjoyed gardening earlier in life can keep up their habits, plus an on-site library and salon for reading or a haircut without leaving the building. Transportation options exist, although those come at an extra cost, and there's resident parking for families who visit during the 9am to 8pm visiting hours. Alderwood Haven's got a family-style atmosphere, where staff try to help residents keep a sense of community, and while there's a claim and verification process with DSHS, there's also a resource list for senior housing and a clear set of housing types and service definitions tied to Options for Seniors. Information on the facility itself is limited due to website access issues, but from what's available, the building is designed to handle both high levels of care and those smaller comforts that can make a place feel a bit more like home.
