Care that changes with your loved one
When needs change, the care changes with them. Your loved one doesn't have to move again.

Our philosophy
Good care mostly comes down to paying attention.
And turning up, day after day, for people who spent their lives looking after others.
Book a private tourA licensed home in a residential neighborhood that cares for a small number of adults. In Washington the limit is six, and Washington State DSHS licenses and inspects each home. Residents get personal care, meals, medication help and supervision in a regular house instead of a large facility. Other states call these board and care homes or residential care homes.
Assisted living communities often have dozens or hundreds of residents, with apartments and a dining hall. Seaview is a house with six residents, so caregivers have more time for each person, meals are cooked in the kitchen, and the day can follow each resident's own routine. Families often choose an adult family home when a loved one needs more help than assisted living gives, or would feel lost in a large building.
Yes. Along with older adults, we care for younger adults from age 18 to their late 50s who live with dementia, mental health conditions or developmental disabilities. Many care homes are set up mainly for seniors, so families looking for a placement for a younger person are welcome to call and talk it through.
We work with private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits and Medicaid through COPES where eligible. COPES is Washington's Medicaid program that can pay for care in an adult family home, and DSHS decides who qualifies. Call us and we'll go through the options with you.
Rates depend on the care each person needs. Call us and we'll talk through costs and payment options.
Residents can't keep pets, but visitors are welcome to bring a well-behaved, supervised pet. Alcohol, tobacco and medical THC aren't allowed. Manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs and power scooters are all welcome. Seaview is co-ed, care is given in English, and the home has no religious affiliation.
Yes. We only ask that visits work around other residents' rest and mealtimes. Birthdays and other celebrations are welcome here.
Book a tour, meet the team and see the home. Then we do a free care assessment and write a care plan before move-in day.
Yes. Washington State DSHS licenses Seaview as an adult family home, license #756746, with six beds.
