Country Living Adult Care Home, also called Good Shepherd Manor, sits at 1493 Shepherd Rd in Washougal, WA, and also at 9714 SE Ladera Ct in Damascus, OR, and if you're looking for both a country setting and care that fits individual needs, you'll find this place pays attention to those things, and the whole setup focuses on a comfortable, home-like feeling with a strong country theme, where they allow both dogs and cats so it feels more like home right away, and while the place does have 70 licensed beds as an assisted living facility and another smaller adult family home with 6 beds, you'll notice each resident gets a care plan that fits their needs, which means whether someone needs help with dressing, bathing, managing medicine, or requires care for high acuity, diabetes, incontinence, memory loss, or is non-ambulatory, the services stretch to cover those situations, and there are board and care options, too, which people sometimes like if they want a little more close-knit, shared-home setup, plus they offer respite care when a primary caregiver needs a break or seniors only need a short stay.
They call themselves an assisted living, non-Medicaid community, and along with daily personal care there are amenities like Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, meals with some specialty options, parking and easy transportation nearby, and plenty of common areas to gather, so folks can either keep to themselves or share time with others as they like, and the meals get good reviews from residents; plus, for those who need more support, they've got nursing jobs and caregiver staff on site, which lets them handle early stage or advanced care needs, even for folks with Alzheimer's and other dementias, since memory care there includes special therapies and support set up to reduce confusion and help keep people safe if wandering becomes a risk, and the value rating as well as staff quality seems strong, with high marks in reviews for attention and overall care.
The whole environment tries to strike a balance between comfort and support, as you'd hope, using the country living style to lower stress and let people keep as much independence as possible, and even folks who have higher care needs usually find the space and staff make it as easy as it gets to settle in and feel at ease, and you'll see they even have healthcare services with staffing for many types of care needs, so older adults wanting a quieter, homelike, country setting with a team that can meet a broad range of support needs can expect solid care and daily living help, all while being encouraged to stay independent when possible, and you notice that value for services tends to show up in the ratings.
