Orcas Loving Care

Licensed by Washington DSHS, Orcas Loving Care is an adult family home at 113 Michael Lane in Eastsound, San Juan County (license #752235), licensed to care for up to 3 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.

Orcas Loving Care 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.

Orcas Loving Care 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.
