Evergreen Ridge Care is an Adult Family Home in Everett, WA, serving Snohomish County, and it's a small care home with six licensed beds where seniors get help with daily living like bathing, dressing, and medication management, as well as memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, so it's pretty common to see residents going about their day in a comfortable, shared home setting with staff always nearby. The place is owned and run by a husband-and-wife team, both registered nurses, who handle care needs like wound care, vital signs monitoring, help for people who have had strokes, diabetes management, insulin injections, mental health support, Parkinson's support, and even care for developmentally disabled seniors, so there's always someone available to help no matter what comes up, including RNs on-site or on-call all hours. Residents can get hospice care, behavioral help, range of motion therapy, help with incontinence, catheter care, colostomy care, trach tube care, oxygen, and feeding tube assistance, and the home supports folks with mobility issues too, having wheelchairs and walkers in mind, as well as Hoyer lifts for extra help. There are both private and semi-private rooms, each with cable, internet, and flat screen TVs, and there's high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, so everyone can stay connected-plus there's a big deck out front and back where people relax or enjoy activities outside.
The home features round-the-clock care, safety alarms, door alarms, and services like laundry, meals prepared with an eye on vitamins and minerals, daily housekeeping, pharmacy delivery, MD visits, blood glucose checks, and regular UTI and blood draw services, making sure all the medical and daily living needs are covered. Residents get nutritious meals, and the kitchen supports different diets for people who need it. The staff manage medication and provide support for folks who are bed-bound, hearing or vision impaired, needing dialysis help, or special care for COPD and congestive heart failure, which can give families some peace of mind. There's lots for residents to do, like holiday and birthday celebrations, card and board games, gardening, reading, cooking activities, picnics, walks, and tea time, and the focus is always on keeping people engaged while fostering good relationships among residents, families, and staff.
Evergreen Ridge Care also offers respite care for short-term stays to help out families, and can provide long-term non-acute care for those who need it. People can use public transportation nearby, and there's on-site parking for visitors, who can come during set hours, from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. Evergreen Ridge Care gets licensed and surveyed by state and local agencies and meets Adult Family Home requirements, but it doesn't accept Medicare unless certified. The nurses who manage it aim to give care that's safe, respectful, and fits each person, so residents can keep enjoying their favorite routines and social times in a close-knit home.
