About adult family homes in Port Orchard

Port Orchard sits across Sinclair Inlet from Bremerton and the Navy shipyard, so many families here are Navy retirees keeping care close to the water. Kitsap runs its own county aging division rather than a regional agency, so local families deal directly with Port Orchard staff for placement help. Master-planned McCormick Woods and older Bethel neighborhoods give Port Orchard a wider mix of newer and established homes than its size suggests.

Where placements come from

Port Orchard families are typically discharged from St. Michael Medical Center in Silverdale, or its Bremerton campus, before an adult family home becomes necessary.

  • St. Michael Medical Center (Silverdale, Virginia Mason Franciscan Health; Level III trauma and the main regional hospital)
  • St. Michael Medical Center Bremerton campus (Virginia Mason Franciscan Health)
