Adult Family Homes in Bonney Lake, WA

Choosing an Adult Family Home in Bonney Lake

Bonney Lake has 28 Adult Family Homes, a number small enough to call every home on a short list in a day or two. If none fits, the nearby cities below widen the search.

The average home here is licensed for 5.8 residents. 3 care for four or fewer, which some families prefer for a quieter house.

About 57% of Bonney Lake homes hold the developmental disabilities specialty, close to the Washington average of 61%.

Nearly every home here holds the dementia specialty, so the label alone will not narrow your list. Ask each home how many residents with memory loss live there now, who is awake at night, and how they handle wandering.

Before you visit, read each home's DSHS inspection reports; every listing on this page links to them, and our guide to reading inspection reports explains what to look for.

Paying for care in Bonney Lake

Medicaid. 26 Bonney Lake homes (93%) have a Medicaid contract with the state, about the same as the Washington average of 94%. A contract does not mean a Medicaid bed is open today, so ask each home, and ask whether a private pay resident can stay if savings run out.

Cost. Adult Family Homes set their own rates, usually by how much care is needed. Across Washington they typically charge $135 to $473 a day, about $4,050 to $14,190 a month. Bonney Lake is in the Seattle area, where assisted living averages $8,038 a month, compared with $7,546 statewide. Our cost of care estimator gives a range for your situation.
