Westside Homestead, at 101 Mission Rd and 175 Balboa Loop, is a state-licensed adult family home that offers care in a residential neighborhood for a small number of seniors, focusing on dementia, mental health support, and one-on-one attention that's sometimes harder to get in bigger places, and you'll find that they cover many types of care, like independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, skilled nursing, hospice, as well as personal and daily care for those who need more help with things like dressing or bathing, and for folks who need physical rehabilitation they've got those services too right there. There's round-the-clock nursing support, ambulatory and diabetic care, rehabilitation, wound care, and they've got both board and care home rooms and options for private or semi-private suites with whirlpool spas, individual climate controls, emergency call systems, and private baths, so you can pick what feels best for you or your family. Meals get served daily, and you can eat in a country club style restaurant, a bistro grille, or in a private dining room, and they help with snacks, medication management, and provide housekeeping, laundry, and all the maintenance, plus you'll have access to Wi-Fi and cable, and they've got scheduled transportation-buses, vans, cars-for errands or outings.
Residents can enjoy indoor and outdoor pools, walking trails, gardens with sitting areas, a greenhouse, sunroom, and a wellness center with fitness programs, and if someone's an artist or just wants to try, there's an art studio, ceramic studio, and even a performing arts center, while others can use the clubhouse, cyber cafe, community center, computer lab, and library, so there's always something going on or a quiet spot to retreat to with a newspaper or book-mail and newspaper delivery come right to residents too. For folks who want to be active, there's bocce ball, pickleball, horseshoe and shuffleboard courts, a sand volleyball court, a putting green, as well as outdoor patios and sports court, all open to residents but not required, so you can join in as much or as little as you like, and small pets are welcome, which matters to a lot of people.
The homestead also runs a flower shop for people wanting flowers "for the home" or special arrangements, like summer bouquets, birthday or anniversary flowers, graduation, new baby flowers, and options for events like weddings or funerals-there's bouquets, corsages, wreaths, sprays, and special memorial flowers, so families can mark the moments that matter without needing to go somewhere else. Support services, like mail, transportation, wellness programs, and a chapel, come as part of daily life, and memory care services include 24-hour support, activities that help keep the mind active, and safe spaces that reduce confusion and help prevent wandering, which gives peace of mind for families. If help with daily living is needed, caregivers assist with bathing, dressing, personal needs, and medication, and emergency call systems are set up in every room. Because it's a board and care home, Westside Homestead aims for more personal attention and dignity, and there are options for independent living without chores like lawn care or property upkeep, so folks can focus on social activities, wellness, or just enjoying a bit of quiet time. The Homestead connects to nearby communities such as Longview, Clatskanie, and Columbia City, offering different choices for residential care, but Westside Homestead itself is about supporting each resident's needs, keeping daily life simple and safe, and giving people choices in how they spend their days, whether that's being active, joining a group, or just enjoying flowers in the sunroom.
