Lachine Family Home

Licensed by Washington DSHS, Lachine Family Home is an adult family home at 175 Balboa Loop in Kelso, Cowlitz County (license #757355), licensed to care for up to 6 residents at a time. An adult family home is a state-licensed private residence — not an institution — that cares for up to six adults at a time. Families choose them for the quieter, more home-like setting and the close, consistent attention that a small household makes possible.

Lachine Family Home is licensed for dementia and memory care. In a home this size, a resident with memory loss isn't one of dozens on a wing — the caregivers know their history, their triggers, and their routine, which is often what keeps someone with Alzheimer's calm, oriented, and safe day to day. It is licensed for mental-health support, caring for adults whose needs go beyond physical care — including mood, anxiety, and other psychiatric conditions — within a stable, closely-supervised household.

Lachine Family Home accepts Medicaid (Washington Apple Health) and COPES funding for residents who qualify, which means a placement here need not depend entirely on private savings — a real consideration for care that often runs for years. It is one of 4 licensed adult family homes in Kelso listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
