Ridgefield Living Center sits on Pioneer Street in Ridgefield, WA, and has 38 beds for adults aged 18 and older who need assisted living services, and when you look out, you see nice views of Lake River and the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge, which brings in a bit of nature to the days. The rooms include studios, 1-bedroom units, and shared apartments, though you might notice the double rooms could use some remodeling and a fresh coat of paint. This place focuses a lot on mental health and works to support each person's dignity, independence, and personal choice while helping with daily needs like bathing, dressing, toileting, feeding, ambulation, and transferring. Walkers are allowed here, but there's no access for wheelchairs. The staff helps with medication, and there are case managers and a licensed RN on site, offering support with Alzheimer's and dementia care, physical therapy, spoon feeding if needed, and help with clothes and bathroom trips too. It's all drug and alcohol free.
Ridgefield Living Center tries to make things feel home-like and safe, so the common areas are spacious and there's a warm atmosphere with plenty of outdoor space, landscaped gardens, walking paths, a communal kitchen, and spots for arts and crafts. Meals come from the kitchen all day, made by a chef and dietitian who can help with special diets for diabetes or allergies, and there's a bistro and snacks available. Residents can eat in their room, use the private dining area, or join others in the main dining room. Safety comes first, with 24-hour supervision, an emergency response system, and daily bathroom reminders.
There's an active calendar, with activities like movie nights, music, pet therapy, gardening, games, arts in the studio, and daily exercise. People can use the book room, jacuzzi, sauna, barber, and the library, and there's secure on-site parking, wifi, and telephone access in rooms. Housekeeping and laundry are included, and the staff helps with personal care, including grooming and scheduled transportation for doctor visits, shopping, and faith-based trips. Ridgefield Living Center accepts respite care for short stays, offers memory care for seniors living with dementia, and works on personalized care plans for each resident. The center encourages residents to enjoy community and stay engaged through programs for wellness, socializing, and recreation, and it connects new residents to local senior living advisors if they need help finding more information. The overall idea is to give support where it's needed, let people be as independent as possible, and provide a safe, caring home environment with enough activities and services to meet their daily living needs.
