Orchid Adult Family Home sits in Vancouver, Washington, and serves aging adults who need help with daily living, offering a safe, comfortable, and home-like setting, where the bed capacity stays at ten or less so residents can get highly personalized care in a private residential house, which means folks don't feel lost in the crowd, and there's always someone to help with things like managing medication, preparing meals-kosher and vegetarian options included-or lending a hand with grooming, mobility, and keeping up with daily activities, whether someone needs diabetic care, high acuity care, incontinence support, or specialized help with memory care for Alzheimer's or other dementias, even going so far as to tailor routines for residents and focus on challenging behaviors with the support of trained staff.
The place encourages residents to relax and focus on recreation instead of chores, since housekeeping gets done for everyone, and folks can enjoy amenities like an ice cream parlor, a bistro, a craft-friendly wood workshop, a library, a game room, a hair salon and barber shop, a greenhouse, an art studio, walking paths, and common spaces both indoors and outdoors, with transportation and parking available for those who want to get out or have visitors.
Room choices include private and semi-private setups, some with shared bathrooms, and accommodations fit a variety of care needs, from cozy companion suites to larger two-bedroom apartments, while wheelchair accessible showers and support with things like Hoyer lifts, 2-person transfers, TPN, tracheostomy care, ventilator support, and bariatric accommodations leave the doors open to seniors with specific medical requirements, including behavioral health, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury, and insulin dependency.
Residents can bring small dogs or cats as pets, with reasonable weight limits, and pet care services help them out too, which makes the home feel warmer and more familiar, especially since Orchid Adult Family Home welcomes folks from the LGBT+ community and tries to make everyone feel accepted and at ease, providing staff coverage and supervision around the clock.
Someone looking for independent living or assisted support will find that this place can shift as care needs change, from basic companion care and personal care services to help with daily routines, respite or short-term stays, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice, and home health or home care services, so aging in place is possible, all within a community that emphasizes family support.
Residents eat together with group meals that meet special dietary needs, and Orchid Adult Family Home keeps folks active with both onsite and offsite activities, including transportation for outings, and there are options for recreation-whether someone likes books, crafts, gardening, games, art, or just a friendly chat in a shared living area.
Orchid Adult Family Home accepts payment through Medicaid (including spend down), VA contracts, and other payment plans, but it hasn't published exact prices, so families will want to ask for up-to-date information, though the place does have a process to connect families with local advisors for more details or help with referrals.
Safety gets attention with things like medical alert systems, medication dispensers, and home security features that support people at all levels of ability, and the staff includes healthcare professionals who guide care planning to match each person's situation, all while making sure rooms and amenities offer what seniors need to stay comfortable, engaged, and secure in familiar surroundings.
The community runs under the Skyblue™ collection of residential care homes and keeps business hours from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM PT on weekdays and until 5:30 PM on weekends, working with families who want caring support and a safe, welcoming option for their loved ones in the Vancouver area.
