Viorica-s House of Care

Viorica-s House of Care sits in Vancouver, Washington, offering different levels of help for older adults, including assisted and independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and adult foster home settings, which some folks call Adult Foster Home - Class 3 with space for up to four licensed beds, but larger settings available, too, with assisted living options having up to 70 beds and adult family home-style places holding six beds if that's a better fit, and you can see how they take care of people who need a little help or a lot, from folks living alone who just get a bit forgetful, all the way up to seniors needing care for diabetes, TPN feeding, ventilator and trach management, or even bariatric and two-person transfers, because there's staff who know how to use hoyer lifts and keep up with high medical needs, and they've got memory care, secure sections to stop wandering, and programs for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and TBI, so people can stay who need more attention. They run their services from two locations, one on Southeast 146th Avenue if you like a bigger assisted living feeling with rooms that can be private and shared bathroom set-ups, or a small, home-like residential place over at 6900 Carolina Lane, still within Vancouver, so there's a fit for someone who wants a smaller group. The place takes Medicaid right away, Medicaid spend down, and has VA contracts for payment, so families have some options, and they'll even welcome LGBT+ people and let pets move in. There's daily help with things like meals, showers, medication, and bathing, plus dietary care so you get room service, organic meals, choices for pureed or vegan or kosher or even gluten-free, and you can eat in a restaurant style dining room or get food in your room if you like, made by a chef who pays attention to special diets, and everybody has access to snacks if they want them. Staff use careful care plans for each resident, taking time to learn about what each person needs, and they handle medication, incontinence, high acuity care, and behavioral support for those who need it, with on-site medical monitoring, so worries about quick help are answered. The community is wheelchair friendly, with ground floor units, wide doorways, handrails in the halls, and grab bars in bathrooms, keeping seniors safer and more steady, and they've got both private rooms and common community rooms, with activities, social programs, and quiet areas depending on people's wishes, with options for things like short-term respite stays, too, if someone's just out of the hospital or wants to try it out. The staff know elder care, with experience in memory problems, so folks with dementia or who need support for behavior or wandering are watched after in a secure area, with extra supervision night and day for safety. Viorica-s House of Care tries to make each person feel comfortable, respected, and supported, providing an environment that works for seniors who need low or high levels of help, always focusing on care, simple living, and health.
