Living Independent Adult Family Home in Federal Way operates as a residential care home designed for adults who need consistent medical oversight. The team is equipped to monitor and respond to residents who may wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, or display combative or other behavioral issues. Nurses manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and blood-glucose needs for diabetics using oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The home also admits adults under 60 and supports residents with mild dementia conditions.
Around-the-clock staffing underpins these services. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site, with a nurse available by phone at all times. The building has 24-hour awake staff, door alarms, a fenced rear area, and a personal emergency response system that alerts staff immediately. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and staff provide transfer help for individuals who use a walker.
Rooms are arranged to give residents privacy while keeping them close to care staff. Cable service is available in many rooms, though not every accommodation includes every option. Furnishings are arranged to leave clear pathways for mobility devices and to support the supervision needed for residents prone to wandering.
Meals are served on a set menu that rotates to provide variety while meeting nutritional guidelines. Between meals, snacks are always available. The kitchen routinely prepares low-salt, diabetic, and other physician-ordered diet modifications, ensuring residents who need calorie control, carbohydrate counting, or texture adjustments receive the correct meal.
Beyond direct care, residents can spend time in designated outdoor areas where smoking is allowed, use the facility’s internet connection to stay in touch with family, and take advantage of proximity to public transportation for off-site appointments or visits.
