Six Star AFH
Six Star Afh offers assisted living, hospice care, nursing care, residential care, and respite care in Federal Way, WA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while nursing care provides nursing support. Hospice care focuses on comfort and support for people nearing the end of life, and residential care provides ongoing support in a home setting. Respite care may suit a family whose usual caregiver needs a short stay while traveling or recovering, making it a possible option when a loved one’s regular support person is temporarily unavailable.
Opened in 2003, Six Star Afh is family-owned and provides one-bed housing in a two-story building. Residents can join movie nights, BINGO, painting, puzzles, walks, and exercise, with new activities introduced regularly, offering both social time and ways to stay mentally and physically engaged. Exercise programs, home doctor visits, podiatry visits, and in-home pharmacy delivery provide movement opportunities and selected health-related services without requiring residents or families to arrange each one independently.
A library, barber, salon, and transportation are also available. These give residents a place to read, access to personal grooming services, and another transportation option. The area has a Walk Score of 67 out of 100, placing it in the somewhat walkable range where some errands can be completed on foot. For a resident who no longer drives, nearby errands may still be possible independently.
