Olympia Home in Lakewood is a small, home-like residential care facility where up to five seniors can live together, and it's set up for both male and female residents, and the backyard has a wide, 180-degree view of the golf course, which gives a nice spot to relax, watch the grass and trees, and sometimes see people playing. The home provides many services, including adult foster care, assisted living, and memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's a secured part of the home just for residents needing extra monitoring, with technology like alarm bracelets so people who wander or have risk of getting lost stay safe, and they can also manage residents who act out or have major behavior problems. Care staff are awake and available 24 hours, with nurses on site and a doctor available if one's needed, and free medical consultations come with the stay. People living here get help with bathing, dressing, toileting, reminders to take medicine, and even physical transfers if walking isn't possible, since the home's wheelchair accessible with showers, tubs, and lifts for folks who need more help.
Olympia Home also handles different medical and personal care, so people needing diabetic care or incontinence supplies are covered, but they don't use sliding scale insulin. There's a podiatrist and a dentist who come in, and if someone needs physical, speech, or occupational therapy, those are offered as well. The place is good for people who can't live alone safely but don't need full skilled nursing, with plenty of support for both mobility and alertness, as the staff use activity and entertainment programs to keep minds and bodies active. Nutrition's a focus, with chefs making healthy meals every day, including special plans for people with diabetes or high blood pressure, and family and friends can join residents for meals in the shared dining areas.
The community has indoor and outdoor common spaces for games, music, movies, and other events, including a book room, sauna, and jacuzzi, plus scheduled fitness programs, creative activities, and group evenings. Pets can live with residents, and there's a hairdresser and barber for personal grooming, with showers and tubs that are accessible for wheelchairs. Both short-term respite care and hospice services are available too.
Olympia Home offers both onsite and offsite activities like animal therapy, music therapy, and outings for shopping, spiritual visits, and more, with transportation services available for appointments, and parking on site for residents and visitors, plus the home's close to public transport. It allows outdoor smoking. Residents get help with changing clothes, daily hygiene, and moving safely between rooms and activities, and the home lets people age in place by adjusting care for light, medium, or heavy needs as things change. Olympia Home has been rated as Excellent with 4.0 stars, and the focus is on giving seniors a safe, comfortable, and supportive home environment, where trained staff help everyone keep their dignity, stay engaged with others, and get help when it's needed, all with as much independence as possible, and there are both secured and open spaces so families and residents can feel comfortable about safety and care, and folks who want to bring a pet or have visitors will find it friendly for both.
