The Malloy Place 2

The Malloy Place 2 is a Washington-licensed adult family home at 6072 Malloy Ave in Ferndale, Whatcom County (license #753240), 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.

The Malloy Place 2 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.

The Malloy Place 2 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 5 licensed adult family homes in Ferndale listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
