Shuinota House

Shuinota House is a DSHS-licensed adult family home at 1425 E Ward St in Seattle, King County (license #52700), 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.

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. It is licensed to serve adults with developmental disabilities, providing daily support tailored to each resident's abilities in a stable, long-term home rather than a rotating institutional placement.

Shuinota House 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 151 licensed adult family homes in Seattle listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
