Bethany Adult Family Home

Licensed by Washington DSHS, Bethany Adult Family Home is an adult family home at 11650 18Th Ave Sw in Burien, King County (license #752553), 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.

Bethany Adult 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 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.

Bethany 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 30 licensed adult family homes in Burien listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
