Afh – Still Waters Cottages, Inc. operates as a residential care home in Spokane Valley, providing a setting designed for older adults who need consistent oversight. The team is equipped to care for residents who wander at any hour, demonstrate elopement risk, present combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or manage diabetes with either oral medications or insulin injections. Residents living with advanced dementia or psychiatric diagnoses are accepted, and the staff tailors daily routines to meet these specific medical profiles.
Registered and licensed practical nurses are on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Background‐checked caregivers remain awake through the night, and a fenced rear area and PERS alert system support resident security. The community supplies full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility services range from standby supervision for walker users to two‐person transfers and bed‐bound care, ensuring residents at every mobility level receive appropriate support.
Rooms come furnished, and some offer private bathrooms. Residents may paint or decorate their spaces, request cable access, and rely on regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation includes all these features, so prospective residents or their families should confirm availability during a visit.
Meals follow a set menu planned by the kitchen team, with snacks available throughout the day. In-room dining is offered when needed, and the staff manages dietary restrictions, including pureed meals and thickened liquids for residents with swallowing concerns. Consistent meal timing and modification options help support nutritional goals and medical directives.
Residents have access to on-site parking, barrier-free entrances, a barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, and a library supplemented by visits from the Spokane County Library. Shared kitchens and living rooms provide additional social space, and staff facilitate virtual visits through FaceTime or Skype to help residents stay in contact with family and friends.
