Adult Family Homes · Auburn & Federal Way, Washington

Two homes. One promise.

At Able Hands, every resident is known by name, cared for like family, and never just a room number. Two warm, licensed homes — one standard of heartfelt care.

Meet Jane Kimani

The heart behind both homes — provider, caregiver, and family to everyone who walks through the door.

A caregiver and a resident sharing a warm laugh together, holding hands
“Caregiving is not just my work — it is who I am. When your loved one comes to Able Hands, they become my family too.”

I’m Jane Kimani, the licensed provider for both Able Hands homes. I spent 15 years caring for residents in nursing homes and 14 years in developmental disability settings, so there are very few care needs I haven’t seen — and I am able to work with most residents, whatever their story.

Along the way, I was honored to be voted Caregiver of the Year twice and Customer Service of the Year once. Those awards belong to my residents as much as to me — they taught me patience, joy, and how to listen. Karibu sana — you are very welcome here. I also speak Swahili.

Care contracts we work under

Specialized Behavior Support  ·  HCS/DDA Meaningful Day  ·  Expanded Community Services

Licensed specialties, both homes

Not every home can take every resident. Both Able Hands homes are licensed and experienced in the care needs families ask about most.

Dementia Care

Patient, unhurried support for memory loss — familiar routines, gentle redirection, and a calm home where your loved one feels safe and known.

Developmental Disabilities

Fourteen years of DD experience means care that respects each person’s abilities, choices, and pace — with meaningful days, every day.

Mental Health

Steady, compassionate care for residents living with mental health conditions, including specialized behavior support when it’s needed most.

Our Homes

Two sister homes, each with a character all its own. Pick the house that fits your loved one — or call Jane and she’ll help you decide.

Around-the-clock care, every single day

Residents here are never alone — at least two caregivers are awake and on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Jane leads the home in person every day and knows every resident by name; she lives within ten minutes and is available at a moment’s notice, around the clock. An awake team of two, plus a provider minutes away — that’s more coverage, not less.
