Grace Wood Creek

Grace Wood Creek is a DSHS-licensed adult family home at 503 Wood Creek Dr in Lynden, Whatcom County (license #758943), 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.

Grace Wood Creek 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. It is licensed to serve adults with developmental disabilities, providing daily support tailored to each resident's abilities in a stable, long-term home rather than a rotating institutional placement.

Grace Wood Creek 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 8 licensed adult family homes in Lynden listed on Dear Care Home, so if the fit or timing isn't right you can compare neighbors in the same city below.
