Shalom Palace Adult Family Home

Shalom Palace Adult Family Home is a Washington-licensed adult family home at 8426 116Th St Sw in Lakewood, Pierce County (license #756412), licensed to care for up to 6 residents at a time. Adult family homes are ordinary residential houses, licensed by Washington State, where a small group of older adults live together and receive 24-hour personal care and supervision. The scale is the point: with only a handful of residents, the caregiver-to-resident ratio is far higher than a large assisted-living complex or nursing facility can offer.

Shalom Palace Adult Family Home is licensed for memory and dementia care. For a resident living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, the small household matters: the same caregivers every day, a predictable routine, and closer supervision than a large memory wing can provide, which eases the confusion and agitation that unfamiliar faces and settings tend to bring on. 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.

Shalom Palace 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 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.
