Citadel of Seattle AFH sits in quiet residential parts of Seattle and offers adult family home care for small groups of seniors who need help but don't require full-time skilled nursing. The staff are friendly, caring, and on-site, day and night, and management oversees everything to keep the house safe and comfortable, with security features and wheelchair ramps that make getting around easier. There are several homes in the group, with names like Belicina's AFH, Victoria 1 Adult Family Home, Langland House, Homecomings III, Pat & Mileta's AFH, and others, so each place has its own style but mainly follows the same caring model. Ratings from families and residents range from 3 to 5 stars. The rooms are bright with big windows, carpeting, closets, and safety measures, and every home offers private bathrooms, showers that wheelchairs can fit in, no-smoking policies, and a homelike atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor common spaces where residents can enjoy their time.
Staff can help with all sorts of daily tasks-bathing, dressing, handling medicines, walking, or using the restroom-and they've got experience with higher needs, like giving insulin shots, providing memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, managing incontinence, and more. They can take care of people who have trouble moving around, need hospice or respite care, or require therapy from a physical, occupational, or speech specialist. Doctors, nurses, podiatrists, and dentists are available when needed. People can age in place here, with wellness strategies made to fit each resident, as well as brain-challenging activities and safety measures tailored for those needing memory care.
Residents can have pets, use the beauty and barber shop, participate in devotional activities, and join outings or indoor and outdoor group events. The buildings provide easy guest parking, options for transportation, and safety features in apartments. Meal plans are made with nutrition in mind, offering vegetarian options, guest meals, and special dining programs. There's a focus on relaxing activities, social time, and supporting residents' well-being in all aspects-physical, social, and spiritual. Visiting hours usually run from 9 in the morning to 8 at night. Both men and women can live here, and the staff help everyone keep their independence for as long as possible while making sure they're safe and cared for every day.
