Alpine Way Continuing Care Community sits on the western tip of Puget Sound, with views of the Olympic Mountains and Mt. Rainier, and offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite, and hospice care in one single-story building. The community lets residents live in studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, all set up with kitchenettes, full bathrooms, and wheelchair accessible showers or full tubs. Pets like cats and dogs are welcome, and pet care is offered. There are beautician services on site, private dining rooms, and room service, as well as Wi-Fi, a fitness center, lush landscaping outdoors, and many indoor and outdoor common areas where residents can relax or gather for activities. Residents can eat in a restaurant-style dining room, and meals can meet special diet needs such as gluten-free, low sodium, vegetarian, low sugar, or kosher.
The staff provides 24-hour support with nurses on-site and a doctor on call, and they can help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management. For those with higher levels of need, staff can administer insulin injections, test blood sugar, and provide standby or mechanical lift transfers, and they have experience with behavior management, incontinence care, diabetic care, and residents prone to wandering or physical outbursts. The community is secured, and the memory care area is a separate building designed for safety and comfort, using technology like alarm bracelets to prevent wandering and help those with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Alpine Way runs a wide range of wellness and activity programs, like stretching, yoga, brain fitness, karaoke, Wii bowling, gardening, art classes, weekly entertainment, community service, and trips into town, led by a full-time activity director. Social, devotional, and educational events happen on- and off-site, and programming is tailored to residents' interests. Residents can use community transportation services for appointments or outings, with parking and complimentary trips as well as other paid options. Alpine Way also welcomes male and female residents, provides options for non-smokers, and allows for a flexible approach to aging in place, with care that can adapt as needs change.
Alpine Way Continuing Care Community is managed by Cascade Living Group, offers 103 licensed beds, and allows residents to choose the care and daily routine that's right for them. Residents have the freedom to live independently without the burdens of homeownership but with the comfort that help is close by if and when it's needed, all in an active, resort-style community that feels like home.
