Gentle Family Home

Licensed by Washington DSHS, Gentle Family Home is an adult family home at 4638 Chanting Circle Sw in Port Orchard, Kitsap County (license #752322), 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.

Gentle 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.

Gentle 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 34 licensed adult family homes in Port Orchard listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
