Pleasant Valley Senior Care - Ridgefield used to be a small senior care facility at 2514 NE 164th St, Ridgefield, WA 98642, and the place was licensed in Clark County with room for six seniors, so it was pretty homey and calm, not one of those big crowded places, and the staff always aimed to help folks with whatever they needed during the day or night, offering different living options like assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even home care out in the Ridgefield community. The place had apartments with all the main things seniors need-studio and one-bedroom units with showers, plenty of space to move wheelchairs around, pull cords and emergency buttons nearby, and a safe, calm feel to it, with features helping folks who might need help with showering, spoon feeding, or getting dressed, and there was always staff there to step in or answer a call. Folks with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia could get more help, and the caregivers ran programs and memory care activities to support those struggles, and they also offered new therapy, like physical or occupational therapy right on site if your doctor suggested it, so you could work on your rehab goals or just keep moving.
Meals were planned to suit different diets, including kosher and vegetarian options, and people could hang out at the community kitchens if they liked or join in on group meals-it was all wrapped up in a schedule full of social events, creative games, arts and crafts, birthday and holiday parties, monthly doctor check-ups, and even some outings or picnics. Residents could take part in a whole list of activities: trails and walking paths, fitness and reading rooms, and you'd even see a pet or two wandering the halls as it was pet-friendly, making the place livelier. Seniors got help with medication management and more advanced needs like diabetic, incontinence, or wound care, and there were always licensed nurses and trained helpers on site, day and night. There were also services for those coming from a hospital stay or for families needing short-term respite care, and if you wanted to go out, there was transportation (shared or private), or parking if you had your own car. There were all the usual things you'd expect in senior living-indoor common areas, HD TVs in rooms, places for hobbies, concierge service-so things felt a little more like home and less like an institution.
Pleasant Valley Senior Care - Ridgefield is now permanently closed, but it did provide a warm, supportive set of choices for seniors who needed different levels of care in a small, friendly environment.
