Highland Court Memory Care sits in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in Port Angeles, Washington, and offers care to older adults living with any stage of memory loss. The community has 43 licensed beds and is designed from the ground up for memory care, so there's an open floor plan, lots of natural light, secure outdoor areas, and safety features to help prevent wandering or confusion. Residents get individualized care plans which doctors, nurses, and families help shape, and the care team's trained to help folks with memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia in ways that keep their dignity front and center. There's 24-hour staff with RN oversight, and regular medical monitoring helps check that everyone's healthy and comfortable. Assistance with bathing, dressing, meals, medication, grooming, and feeding gets handled daily, and the staff tries hard to care for everybody with kindness-even when sometimes they're stretched a bit thin.
Physical therapy, podiatry, and other health services come right to the building, so folks don't have to leave for most appointments. There's apartment maintenance, laundry, housekeeping every week, and all utilities (except cable and phone) are included in the monthly cost. Respite care is available for short stays too, so families can get a break when needed. People can expect three nutritious, house-prepared meals a day, snacks, and diets adjusted as needed. Activities run daily with things like library time, crafts, group outings, local entertainment, volunteer visits, and special touches like salon parties, aiming to keep residents engaged and enjoying life. The life enrichment program balances group activities and one-on-one attention so folks at all stages have something meaningful to do.
The building aims for a homelike comfort and the staff-including a med tech crew, caregivers, and a housekeeper known for her energy and attention-show care and patience, even on busier days. The management's focus is always on safety, cleanliness, and helping residents stay as independent as possible, even if their private pay resources run low. Highland Court Memory Care is owned by Benicia Senior Living and led by Executive Director Helen Milligan. The website, designed by IlluminAge, has accessibility features, resources for seniors, a contact form, a Facebook page for updates, and a virtual tour for families wanting to look around before visiting. Overall, Highland Court Memory Care offers compassionate support in a safe, home-like setting for those with memory challenges.
