Trustwell Living at Highlander Place is a senior living community in Kelso, Washington, set in a country area where you might see deer and squirrels outside, and it's got only one floor so there are no stairs anywhere, which makes things easier for anyone who needs a walker or just doesn't feel steady going up and down. The community is small, with just 40 rooms, so it feels close-knit and familiar, and people often run into their neighbors for a chat on the sunny front porch or around the lounge fireplace. Residents can pick from studio apartments, which have about 354 square feet, or one-bedroom apartments with about 594 square feet, and the apartments come with private bathrooms with step-in showers, kitchenettes with microwaves, and big windows that let in the light, and there's plenty of space to make it personal and cozy. There's no need to worry about cleaning because weekly housekeeping and laundry services are part of the deal, and maintenance is taken care of too. The dining area serves meals restaurant-style with menus put together by a registered dietitian, so meals are healthy and you don't have to cook, though if it's a night to stay in the apartment, the kitchenette is handy.
The facility is managed by Enlivant, which runs more than 200 senior living residences, so they know what they're doing, and there's always staff on hand 24/7 to help with personal needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, or getting to meals. If medications are needed, there's help to make sure they're taken on time. There's a full-time registered nurse for those who need a little more clinical oversight. People can choose either private or companion apartments and get personalized care plans, and levels of care include assisted living, memory care, independent living, respite care, nursing home services, and continuing care, so residents can get the help that's right for them as time goes on.
Community life includes daily activities like exercise classes, blackjack card games, ice cream socials, trivia, coffee socials, movie nights, and more, and the game room, creative studio, outdoor patio, and full-service salon offer spaces to spend time alone or with friends. There's a courtyard for fresh air, and transportation services for shopping or group outings, so residents don't have to worry about getting around. There are emergency call systems in every apartment, so help is always close by. Trustwell Living at Highlander Place tries to help each person stay independent but also stay connected to others, and people can schedule a tour to see the place, meet the staff, and get a feel for the daily life there. The building's designed for comfort and safety, with bright spaces and no stairs, and the staff focus on helping people feel at home.
