In Home Love Residential Care LLC sits in a quiet Seattle neighborhood, modeled as an Adult Family Home, and you'll find the house has room for only a handful of residents-about six, sometimes up to ten-so people get personal care and staff get to know everyone pretty well, and you see Mellie Navarro, the owner and caregiver, runs the place herself with over twenty years of experience with dementia, spending time with folks and making sure their needs don't go ignored, whether it's help with getting dressed, medicine reminders, or just a friendly face for conversation. People find the setup feels homelike, with wide halls and doors for wheelchairs, private or semi-private rooms-each with a private bath if needed-and wheel-in showers, and you'll come across all kinds of helpful touches like group meals where dishes can be vegetarian, kosher, or made for diabetics, with gluten-free, vegan, or low-sugar options available for those who ask, and then you've got visiting hours running from 9:00am to 8:00pm, so families can stop by almost any day.
There's a secure area for folks with dementia, and staff have memory care programs all day, with activities that help with recall, along with things like devotional gatherings both on and offsite, plus social events like picnics, BBQs, or birthday and holiday parties, which make the place feel lively but still calm, and smokers can step out back since outdoor smoking's allowed. For folks who don't drive, there's resident parking, paid shuttle service, and even free rides at times, and living near public transit makes trips easier. The caregiver or staff help with pretty much any daily task from bathing to changing or laundry, and they keep everything clean and safe, following federal rules closely. High-acuity care's on the table for those with bigger needs, including diabetic and incontinence care, plus standard medication management and help for those with mobility issues. With services in English, Romanian, and Russian, the home feels welcoming to people from many backgrounds, and the small group means the staff can give residents almost family-like attention, and the atmosphere is friendly, calm, and makes many feel comfortable, even when health changes require more support.
Whether someone needs long-term assisted living, a break with a short respite stay, memory care, or more hands-on nursing from time to time, In Home Love Residential Care LLC quietly offers these options, with group activities, access to a beautician onsite, both indoor and outdoor shared spaces, and community features like safe locked doors in memory care, so residents who wander stay safe, and staff are nearby night and day. Meals, personal care, transportation, and daily housekeeping are all part of the deal, and even with the added medical and therapy services, the home never feels crowded or rushed, which some people, especially seniors who like peace and quiet, might appreciate.
