P&M Among Friends

P&M Among Friends is a DSHS-licensed adult family home at 612 Dahlia Street in Lynden, Whatcom County (license #755579), 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.

P&M Among Friends 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.

P&M Among Friends 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.
