Rainbow House

Licensed by Washington DSHS, Rainbow House is an adult family home at 8807 Carol Ave S in Lakewood, Pierce County (license #280701), 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.

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.

Rainbow 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 263 licensed adult family homes in Lakewood listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
