Hermie's AFH II is an adult family home in Tacoma, WA, that offers care and support for adults who need help with daily living and health needs, and the place operates under Long Term Care Alternatives, LLC, with a care license number 355700 and supervision from John Gregory Tatum, LPN, and the home sits at 1421 S 86th St, not far from 1321 S 90th St, and serves Pierce County with a focus on safety and well-being. There are five beds available in both private and semi-private rooms, and the facility helps with memory care, high acuity care, medication management, non-ambulatory care, mental health, and development disabilities, as well as incontinence and diabetic needs, and individuals dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia get extra attention through dedicated programs. Hermie's AFH II has 24-hour staff and offers services like bathing and hygiene help, clothing assistance, and special health monitoring, and it also provides access to a traveling stylist or hairdresser for residents who want personal care. The home uses the Adult Family Home and Home Care model, along with hospice care, so residents can get different levels of support. The building's secure environment helps prevent wandering, which is important for people needing memory care, and there are panic buttons, mobility help, and regular doctor checkups to help keep everyone safe and comfortable. Meal options include vegetarian and kosher meals, and the kitchen prepares three homemade meals daily with the ability to make special nutritional adjustments for things like high blood pressure or diabetes, so residents get what's best for them. Residents can take part in daily events, cards or board games, arts and crafts, fitness and music therapy, family support groups, and both on-site and off-site activities, and sometimes there are movie nights, art plans, birthday parties, or community gatherings in indoor and outdoor common areas, with a book room, balconies, recreation rooms, reading corners, and safe walking paths outside. Hermie's AFH II accepts pets, too, and helps with transportation to doctor appointments, shopping trips, or religious events, offering free transportation help and other options when needed, so family members don't need to worry about how their loved one will get where they need to go. The home provides apartments with wheelchair accessible showers and bathtubs, one-bedroom options, spacious living rooms, safety features for fall prevention, and regular housekeeping, so everything stays tidy and as comfortable as possible. Staff can speak Filipino and English, so residents from different backgrounds feel welcome. Residents can use the beautician services, steam room, hot tub, and attend devotional activities held at home or off-site. Visiting hours go from 9:00am to 8:00pm, giving families time to connect. Hermie's AFH II does not take Medicare unless there's a specific certification, and the community stays focused on giving mostly non-Medicaid support. With specialized care tailored to every individual and a home-like feel, Hermie's AFH II does its best to help adults and seniors enjoy daily life with support always nearby.
