Pishon Adult Family Home

Pishon Adult Family Home is a Washington-licensed adult family home at 717 Koehler Ave Sw in Orting, Pierce County (license #757663), licensed to care for up to 5 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.

Pishon 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 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.

Pishon Adult Family Home 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 9 licensed adult family homes in Orting listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
