The Peace and Joy Garden

The Peace and Joy Garden sits in Vancouver, WA, and runs as a residential care home offering both adult family home and assisted living services, and they've got just six licensed beds in the home so it feels pretty quiet compared to bigger places, and they put a lot of focus on personal care with a caregiver ratio of two to six residents, so you'll often see more staff around than at other homes, and the staff's trained to handle high needs like memory care, dementia care, and things like diabetic support, medication management, non-ambulatory care, and incontinence care, and they take in folks needing hospice or respite stays, too, which means seniors can come for a short time as well if that's needed. The place keeps a home-like look, with both indoor and outdoor common areas where residents spend time or visit, and they allow pets-cats and dogs-with a weight limit though, and meals get prepared on site with different choices like vegetarian options, while each room has things like wheelchair accessible showers, private baths, and lots of natural light, making it pretty easy for folks with different needs. Abundant Life Elderly Care Inc, Sunshine Adult Family Home, and other names like Fairwinds Brittany Park, Florence Of Seattle Arbor Heights, Fountain Court Assisted Living, and places like The Gardens At Town Square and Idaho Culver House show the variety of settings and types of care they reference across their services, and those names also help people choose the kind of care home or level of support that might be needed. Folks get access to independent living, assisted living, nursing care, hospice, or more specialized memory care, and the home provides things like transportation for residents for a fee, and there's parking for those who still drive. They've posted details about their amenities and services-the official ones you'll find under "Documents & Reports" and "Disclosure of Services"-which helps everyone know exactly what's offered, and helps set expectations. The staff includes trained aides, and you'll see ancillary services available for extra needs, and The Peace and Joy Garden gets good reviews for their attention and care, but it's the small, homelike setting and simple day-to-day that makes it feel steady for people who want a calm place; all in all, it's meant for seniors who need more help with daily care but who still want some choice and a quieter spot to live.
