Smith Adult Family Home

Smith Adult Family Home is a DSHS-licensed adult family home at 9451 Benjamin Way Se in Moses Lake, Grant County (license #752797), licensed to care for up to 5 residents at a time. Adult family homes sit between independent living and a nursing home: a licensed caregiver looks after a small number of residents in an actual house, providing meals, help with daily tasks, medication management, and round-the-clock supervision in a setting that still feels like home.

Smith Adult Family Home is licensed to care for residents with Alzheimer's and other dementias. The value of an adult family home for memory care is continuity: a stable set of faces, a familiar house, and the kind of one-on-one attention that reduces wandering, sundowning, and the distress of constant change. It is licensed to support residents with mental-health needs. Caregivers are trained to look after adults managing conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia alongside their daily personal care. It is licensed for residents with developmental disabilities, offering the consistency and individualized routine that a small, permanent household can sustain far better than a large facility.

Smith Adult Family Home accepts Medicaid (Apple Health) and COPES for eligible residents, so families who can't cover years of private-pay care still have a path to a bed here. It is one of 23 licensed adult family homes in Moses Lake listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
