Who this care fits
What's included
What we handle for you
From the first call through move-in and after, here is what our help covers.
Honest needs check
We help you confirm whether skilled nursing is truly needed or whether a well-staffed adult family home could meet the same needs in a warmer setting.
Vetted facilities
We tour the skilled nursing facilities near you and tell you honestly which ones are clean, well staffed, and well run.
Rehab and the next step
We look for facilities with strong therapy programs and a real plan to get your loved one home. When rehab is done, we help you plan the next step: home, an adult family home, or assisted living.
Discharge planning help
We coordinate with the hospital and the facility so the transition does not fall through the cracks.
Required step, paid separately
Nurse assessment before move-in
Every adult family home requires a nurse assessment before move-in. The first one usually costs $300 to $500, and an updated assessment is required every year, usually $150 to $250. You pay the nurse directly, never Golden Haven, and some adult family homes cover the cost, so ask Valeri and she'll check for you. If your loved one is on Medicaid, the assessment and yearly updates are covered, so there's nothing to pay.
Questions about your situation? Talk to Valeri. It's free.

Typical 2026 costs for private-pay families in Snohomish County and the Eastside, based on published cost surveys and what we see in the homes we work with. Your cost depends on care needs, room type and the home. We'll give you real numbers for the homes that fit.

Questions families ask
About this type of care
A nursing home has 24-hour skilled nursing for complex medical needs and rehabilitation. An adult family home is a small residential house with caregivers for help with daily living, not skilled medical care. Many people assume they need a nursing home when a good adult family home would meet their needs in a warmer setting. We help you tell the difference.
Generally yes. A skilled nursing facility provides the medical care a nursing home does, often with a short-term rehabilitation focus after a hospital stay. The terms are used almost interchangeably. We help you find the right one for your loved one's situation, whether short-term rehab or longer-term care.
Medicare can pay for a limited time of skilled nursing or rehabilitation after a qualifying hospital stay, usually up to 100 days with conditions. Long-term nursing home care is typically paid privately or through Medicaid for those who qualify. We are not benefits counselors, but we can point you toward resources.
Then we look for a facility with a strong therapy program and a real discharge plan to get them home or to a lower level of care. We help coordinate the transition out so your parent does not stay in a nursing home longer than they need to.
We help you find another option at no cost. If a facility is not working out, we come back and help you move to a better fit, whether that is another facility, an adult family home, or assisted living.
