The GoodLife Adult Family Home sits in Vancouver, WA, minutes from Portland, Oregon off I-205, and you'll find it at 14007 SE 28th Street on a half-acre lot shaded by mature Incense Cedar trees and Arborvitaes, with gardens showing views of water and mountains, a 1200 square foot patio with wrought iron railings for walking or sitting outside, and the whole home laid out on a single level so moving around's easier for folks with walkers or wheelchairs. The home's designed with tall glass windows, high ceilings, and big, light-filled rooms, all decorated to feel cozy and inviting, and it's got wide ADA ramps, roll-in showers, and large bedrooms-each one oversized with its own half-bath. The owners, Dan and Diana Powell, live right on site and run the place themselves, keeping a caregiver-to-resident ratio of one to two, and there's always a full-time RN available onsite or on-call for nursing needs, from taking care of wounds to managing catheters, stroke care, diabetic care, incontinence help, medication management, and giving oxygen therapy.
The GoodLife accepts Medicaid and private pay, and is licensed as an Adult Family Home in the 98683 zip code area, with six licensed beds for adults. The staff, all English-speaking professionals, give 24-hour support and help with daily living-so getting dressed, bathing, taking medicine, getting to bed, moving about, and even speech or occupational therapy visits. Folks with Alzheimer's, dementia, mental health needs, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, and other challenges get specialized care, and the home's known for compliance with strict local inspections. You'll see a big, private therapy room and on-site gym ready for all sorts of physical therapy and exercise, and there's lots to do-exercise classes, reading, walks in the garden, massage therapy, games, puzzles, pet therapy, birthday parties, and holiday celebrations. Meals come from a culinary chef and always include three cooked dishes every day, with snacks and help eating in rooms when needed, and the kitchen can handle special diets too. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance keep things tidy, and there's an RN who'll handle medication, glucose checks, and work with a pharmacy for prompt deliveries, and care plans get tailored to each person. Residents may bring pets, enjoy the concierge services, and have cable, satellite TV, air conditioning, and super-fast Wi-Fi for guests, along with rooms that can be private, semi-private, or shared, depending on what suits best.
Security stays tight with 24/7 secured premises, a security alarm system, emergency call buttons, and ADL security features. The environment's set up to feel homey and peaceful, with a ranch setting and gardens, a library section, a communal kitchen, and a theater room for movies or talks. The home makes a point of supporting people's independence whenever possible, with in-room emergency systems for safety and visiting hours set from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. Healthcare professionals such as nurses, social workers, therapists, and dietitians visit as needed, and special therapy and rehabilitation services happen both in-person and with home health partners. The GoodLife handles all types of elder care, from adult day care and long-term care to respite care and hospice, and keeps a strong record of perfect state audits. The facility's designed to be calm, safe, and welcoming, offering simple comforts with a focus on each resident's well-being and dignity.
