# 2 Areside Adult Family Home

# 2 Areside Adult Family Home is a DSHS-licensed adult family home at 17730 54Th Ave W in Lynnwood, Snohomish County (license #754118), licensed to care for up to 6 residents at a time. Adult family homes sit between independent living and a nursing home: a licensed caregiver looks after a small number of residents in an actual house, providing meals, help with daily tasks, medication management, and round-the-clock supervision in a setting that still feels like home.

# 2 Areside Adult Family Home is licensed to care for residents with Alzheimer's and other dementias. The value of an adult family home for memory care is continuity: a stable set of faces, a familiar house, and the kind of one-on-one attention that reduces wandering, sundowning, and the distress of constant change. 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.

# 2 Areside 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 310 licensed adult family homes in Lynnwood listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
