Family First - Ollala

Family First - Ollala sits over on 4553 Southeast Burley Olalla Road in Olalla, Washington and you'll find it's a smaller senior living place since it only has space for six residents in its Adult Family Home, and they do provide assisted living care with round-the-clock staff around to help. The apartments are safe by design, with full security and in-room emergency call buttons, and the building's got wheelchair-accessible rooms and ADA-compliant private bathrooms, so folks with limited mobility can get around easier, and for bigger needs, they help with things like showering, incontinence care, and diabetes care, and even have the capacity for high acuity care, which means they can look after folks needing more attention due to medical or memory issues, including Alzheimer's or other dementia, and they've got specific care for things like Parkinson's, mental health, and developmental disabilities, and they'll even help feed someone by spoon if needed. There's a mix of rooms, with one bedroom units, well-equipped studio rooms, and some semi-private living quarters, and you'll find each place comes fully furnished with everything you need. The facility features large balconies, walking trails, indoor and outdoor spaces to visit or just enjoy the day, a resident dining hall, and a communal kitchen as well as a private dining room, so people can sit together for meals if they want or have something a bit more private if they need it. The food is provided three times a day, and they've got options to match, including vegetarian, kosher, and pureed meals for easier eating. Folks who live there can expect their apartments kept clean with regular housekeeping and maintenance, and there's laundry and linen service too, so you don't have to worry about doing the wash. They have a library and reading room, plus an entertainment and games room with a big screen TV for watching with friends, and when the weather's nice, you'll find folks on the trails or out on the big balconies. They always schedule doctor checkups onsite, offer rehabilitation, and work with home health when needed, and there's transportation and parking for visitors or residents wanting to get to an appointment, plus complimentary transportation when needed. You'll find a bistro, snack shop, beauty and barber shop, and even pharmacy services onsite, which makes things handier for folks who don't like driving out to town. Fall prevention classes get scheduled, and special event parties happen once in a while for a little bit of fun. There are devotional activities both in the home and out in the community for those who want them. Visiting hours last from 9:00am to 8:00pm most days, which usually gives plenty of time to spend with family. Licensed by the state under #489801 and associated with Options for Seniors, Family First - Ollala is a quiet, smaller place with the basics in a friendly community setting.
