Washington Care Center

Washington Care Center sits in a quiet spot with three floors and room for up to 165 residents, so folks living there get plenty of company if they want it and can enjoy some peace when that's what they need, and you'll find they run a variety of activities including art, music, dancing, and even have visits from therapy dogs that always seem to bring a smile. The place is operated by Evergreen, and you'll find it's a modern building with comfortable studio apartments, and all the halls and rooms are set up to be easy and safe to move around in, so it feels home-like and secure for everyone, including those living with memory loss like Alzheimer's or dementia. Residents get round-the-clock care from skilled nursing staff, including help with the day-to-day things like bathing and dressing, as well as more complicated medical support such as wound care, IV therapies, catheter care, and different feeding tube options, and you won't have to leave for recovery services after a hospital stay or for specialized rehab like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, since they tailor therapy plans to help each person regain strength and independence, focused on getting folks feeling better and doing more on their own. The care team works closely with residents and families to make sure everyone's getting the right mix of support and independence, with an eye toward keeping each person's dignity, and individuals living with memory challenges have a special secured area where staff trained in dementia care stick to familiar routines, offer memory cues, and encourage connection each day, so nobody feels left out or confused for long. Meals are balanced and served daily, and residents get to choose what they like, while housekeeping, laundry, and even beauty services are handled right there, so it's easier to just relax and settle in. For folks who need a short-term break, like after leaving the hospital or when family caregivers need some time off, the center offers fully furnished rooms for respite stays where you'll have all the essentials covered-nutritious meals, medication help, support with personal care, and a full calendar of activities to join in if you want. Special services such as dental, vision, and hearing appointments are arranged routinely, and for those who need things like dialysis, pain management, or wound care, they coordinate those services off-site or as part of the regular routine, and you'll find there's always somebody there to help, day or night. There's outdoor space for fresh air, community activities to keep folks engaged, and a real focus on making each day meaningful and keeping everyone feeling like they belong, whether someone's there for a short stay or calling the center home for the long term, and if a resident needs end-of-life or supportive hospice care, that's available as well, so loved ones and their families can be together with comfort and compassion.
