Garden View Care sits in Vancouver, Washington, right by the north bank of the Columbia River, less than a mile from PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street with groves and parks nearby, which gives it a peaceful setting, and the house itself is a two-story A-frame built in 2002 and last updated in 2011, designed to feel homey and calm, and it's set up to serve no more than six residents aged 55 and up at one time. This is an adult family home, sometimes called an Adult Foster Home or Personal Care Home, and staff are always on site, day and night, to help with whatever's needed, whether that means help with bathing, dressing, feeding, or getting around, even for people who need a Hoyer lift or have feeding tubes or catheters, and they've got nurses on staff and a doctor available as needed.
Garden View Care focuses a lot on memory care, especially for seniors dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia, with a separate, secured area so residents won't wander and staff watch closely, plus there are tools like bracelets that ring alarms if someone's about to leave. Residents have reminders and supervision for daily activities, and the team can handle difficult or confusing behavior and mental health needs, providing a calm and steady environment, and they've got experience helping people with developmental disabilities too. The memory care services aim to reduce confusion, prevent wandering, and the secured building helps residents feel safe and settled.
Meals are made by an on-staff chef who tries to keep things healthy and tasty, with options for vegetarian and kosher diets, and every resident gets three meals a day, plus snacks when needed. Garden View Care also offers both private and studio rooms with private baths, wheelchair accessible showers, and full tubs, making things easier for those who need them, and the community allows residents to stay as their needs change (called "aging in place"), which means that if someone's needs get greater over time, they don't have to move somewhere else. Residents can join in onsite devotional services, and there's a chance to visit nearby houses of worship if they'd like to.
The home has both indoor and outdoor common spaces, room for sitting with family during visiting hours from 9:00am to 8:00pm, and parking is available for residents plus nearby public transportation if it's needed. Nurses and other staff can help with medication, including injections and blood sugar checks, as well as incontinence care and support for diabetes. Respite care's available for short stays, and hospice care is an option for those who need it, with the idea that comfort comes first.
Garden View Care is best known for its personal approach and small size, focusing on providing dedicated care and supervision for every resident.
