Allen's Adult Family Home II sits in Spokane Valley, WA, as a small, state-licensed care home with only six licensed beds, which gives people a quieter and more peaceful place to live where everyone gets a little more attention from the staff, who always seem to know the residents well. The house has a secure memory care section made just for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia who might feel lost or upset in big or busy places, and the staff keep a close eye on who comes and goes, using things like alarm bracelets to keep everybody safe, especially those at risk of wandering. Residents find both indoor and outdoor common areas for relaxing or socializing, and private rooms all have private baths with tubs and wheelchair-accessible showers, so folks facing challenges with walking or standing can keep their dignity and comfort as they bathe or get ready for the day.
There's always someone on hand to help with daily needs like bathing, eating, and dressing, and the staff is trained to do everything from incontinence care and high acuity help to medication management and handling diabetes, so people with more needs don't have to worry about moving every time something changes with their health. Meals come hot and nutritious, with options for special diets, like vegetarian or kosher, and friends and family comment on the friendly, caring team who create a warm, family feel for everyone living there. This home welcomes short-term or respite stays, which is comforting for caregivers who need a break or people who want to try living there before making a longer decision, with respite rates set at $100 a day and about $3,000 a month for a memory care studio.
Allen's offers transportation at cost, so getting to doctor appointments or other places is manageable, and has parking for residents who still drive. Residents can join devotional services onsite and find activities that keep them connected to each other and to the community, which help cut down on feeling lonely. The home is set up for wheelchair access everywhere, and the team can move and support people who need extra help to stand or walk, even using mechanical lifts for those who need it. Visiting nurses, a podiatrist, and a doctor on call give peace of mind when health needs get complicated, and hospice care is available if needed, so most folks can spend all their time in one place, even as care requirements go up.
This place sticks to Washington's health and safety rules for adult family homes and gives each person a care plan that fits their own wants and needs, so people get help the way they want it, not just the same for everyone. Allen's Adult Family Home II does not accept Medicare unless certified, and the main language spoken is English. Reviewers often notice the balanced meals, the caring attitude of the staff, and the supportive, close environment that helps keep seniors, especially those who feel confused or anxious, feeling safe and comfortable in a place that feels just a little bit like home.
