First Heaven AFH

First Heaven AFH, based in Vancouver, WA, is an adult foster home licensed for up to six seniors, and offers a quiet, home-like setting with both private and semi-private rooms so residents can feel comfortable, and people can count on care staff being around all day and night, because the staff is always there to help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and hygiene, and help's even given if someone has diabetes or mobility issues, or needs more help like incontinence or non-ambulatory care, which a lot of people need as they age. Meals are home-cooked every day, and if someone has certain needs-say, for high blood pressure, diabetes, or just prefers vegetarian or kosher diets-the staff makes adjustments to the meals, and everyone eats together if they'd like, which is something a lot of folks appreciate. First Heaven AFH is pet friendly too, with cats allowed up to a specific weight, which brings comfort to a lot of residents who have always had pets at home. The house itself is set up on one level so folks using walkers, canes, or wheelchairs can move around easily without stairs getting in the way, and there are large yards, a spacious deck for relaxing outdoors, and both indoor and outdoor common areas for group activities. What stands out about First Heaven AFH is their smaller group size, because with fewer residents, people get to know each other, build friendships, and the staff has time to get familiar with everyone's habits and care needs. The home offers both assisted living and memory care, with special amenities like secured areas to prevent wandering for those with dementia, and programs such as music therapy, pet therapy, crafts, and walks outside to give everyone a chance to stay active in mind and body. There's also high-speed internet, phone lines, and cable TV so residents have ways to stay connected and entertained, and if someone needs to go out for appointments or errands, transportation and parking are available, with the staff offering to go along to help out. Language support is given in both English and Romanian. On top of that, in-house therapy is available-physical, occupational, or speech therapy-plus there's a nurse on staff and a doctor who can be called when needed, so people don't have to worry about health needs going unmet. Residents can also join activities like movie nights, fitness routines, book club meetings, and music nights, and anyone who prefers a more quiet day can spend time in the garden or with a pet. The care model at First Heaven AFH focuses on keeping people as independent as possible, yet safe and cared for, and there's a welcoming, calm atmosphere with staff focused on dignity and comfort, so it's easier for everyone to settle in and feel like part of a family, whether someone's living there long-term or needing extra support after an injury or illness.
