Pinehurst Senior Care is a small Adult Family Home in Seattle, WA, licensed for up to six residents under certification ID 750833, with separate rooms for men and women and a secure memory care section built for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, located in its own building to make things safer for those who tend to wander, and if anyone tries to leave, a computerized system and bracelets will alert the staff so they can help right away. The mission at Pinehurst is to give good memory care and support in a caring setting, with care services that handle diabetic care, high acuity needs, incontinence, medication management, and behavioral care, including for residents with difficult behaviors or those at risk of getting lost, and the staff stays awake and on-site 24 hours a day so no one goes without help if something happens in the night. The facility's rooms come in private and semi-private options, many with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and wheelchair accessible showers, with units on the ground floor that have garden views, and anyone who needs help with daily activities like bathing, grooming, or getting dressed can get support as needed, including assistance with one- or two-person transfers or even using a mechanical lift.
Meals come prepared by professional chefs, and residents get three homemade dishes each day, with special diets available for those who need low/no sodium, gluten-free, diabetic, pureed, kosher, vegetarian, vegan, organic, or no sugar meals, and meal service is restaurant-style so residents can choose from different options. The building is non-smoking inside and out, but pets are welcome, and there are indoor and outdoor common areas for relaxing, socializing, or enjoying the gardens, plus onsite beauty and barber services in case anyone wants a haircut without leaving the home. For recreation, Pinehurst offers music therapy, animal therapy, board games, outdoor relaxation, craft programs, movies, wellness and spa areas, book rooms, and social night events, and for those who like spiritual activities, there are devotional services and faith-based events both onsite and offsite.
Healthcare services can cover physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, and there are nurses, doctors on call, and paginatorists available, with the staff providing care for many levels, from light support to heavy nursing care, so Pinehurst can handle residents who need more help or have complex medical or behavioral problems. The facility is set up to provide respite care for short-term stays, hospice care when needed, and board and care for those requiring assisted living, all in a non-acute care setting, so families who need temporary help have a safe place for loved ones. Residents can get transportation to doctor appointments, shopping, or religious services, and the facility has both complimentary and at-cost transportation services along with resident parking for those who still drive.
For the memory care section, Pinehurst uses special programs and memory-enhancing activities, with technology and safety features to reduce confusion and help prevent wandering, with individualized care plans and activities for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's. Daily life at Pinehurst includes a mix of health services, recreation, secure and comfortable living spaces, and staff trained to manage a wide range of needs, always aiming to keep residents safe, as comfortable as possible, and engaged, all in a small, home-like setting in Seattle that supports aging in place for seniors.
