Overview of Johnston Residence Adult Family Home

Johnston Residence Adult Family Home provides assisted living, home care, and residential care in Auburn, WA. Personal care assistance is available at varying levels, so support can change as a resident’s needs develop and allow them to remain in the same home while aging in place. Around-the-clock staffing and close health monitoring support residents who need ongoing help in a residential setting. The home may be a good fit for someone seeking personal care with the possibility of staying in one community as needs change.

Residents have one of six large private bedrooms, along with access to a garden, walking path, and seating area for bird watching. Daily activities include walking, gardening, cooking, music, and exercises shaped around each resident’s era and memory, giving the routine a personal connection rather than relying on one standard program. Meals are home-cooked, with smoothies and special dietary services for food allergies and other specialty diets. Personal care services include access to a licensed nutritional therapist, and Gwen Johnston owns and directs the owner-operated home.
