The Methow Valley Family Home Center Association, also known as Jamie’s Place, is an adult family home where elders, with the support of family, community, and caregivers, can enjoy meaningful lives with dignity and grace. Rather than focusing on limitations, our approach supports retained abilities, autonomy, and participation in daily life — allowing elders to remain active contributors within their home and community.
Jamie’s Place is expanding to achieve our vision of meeting the long-term care needs of all Methow Valley elders and preparing the next generation of caregivers. Our long-range plan includes a new facility in Twisp, Washington that will double our capacity, create 30 new caregiver jobs, and serve as a training hub to support relationship-centered elder care throughout the Methow Valley.

The thriving local business community includes people working in construction, ranching, outdoor sporting and tourism. The valley is located on the eastern slope of the North Cascades, just outside of the North Cascades National Park. The nearest metropolitan areas are Seattle and Spokane, each about four hours away. The 501(c)(3) organization employs 22 full- and part-time staff members currently and operates with a $1.6 million annual budget. Jamie’s Place is poised for a vibrant future and continued impact and success.
