Van Vista Assisted Living sits at 410 West 13th Street in Vancouver, Washington, and offers a place for seniors who want some extra help with daily living or need memory care for Alzheimer's or other dementia conditions, and it's a high-rise building with both one-bedroom and studio apartments that are ADA accessible, so getting around isn't a worry, and the apartments come with a kitchenette that includes a microwave and refrigerator, private bathrooms, and even cable television, plus there are storage units and special guest dining rooms if you want to have family or friends over for a meal. There are indoor common areas where folks can visit or enjoy activities, like the TV Lounge/Library and the Activity Room up on the 10th floor looking out over downtown Vancouver, and the grounds are landscaped, with patios for people who like to sit outside, and there's a Wellness Room with a walk-in spa bathtub and a beauty salon and barbershop right in the building, so it's easy to stay comfortable and tidy.
Folks living here can keep dogs and cats, which is a comfort for many, and there's a resident store if you need to pick up something small, plus scheduled transportation if you need a ride to a doctor's appointment or want to go shopping, which is helpful because the building is close to hospitals and doctors' offices. Activities are a big part of daily life here, with social, recreational, and hobby programs planned all during the week, both inside and out in the community, so there are always chances to meet new people and stay busy, and the community encourages everyone to try different things-offering social events, educational classes, and spiritual gatherings for those who want devotional activities.
Van Vista offers three meals a day in a large, open dining room, where food is prepared mostly from scratch, focusing on taste and balanced nutrition, and there are always meal and dining services available, with help given to those who need it. There's laundry service for those who don't want to bother with chores, and 24-hour emergency maintenance to keep everything running. Assisted living services help people stay as independent as possible, offering support with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, and individualized care plans are set up for each resident. For those who have memory care needs, there are special programs and staff in place, and safety measures designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, and health care staff can also help manage conditions like diabetes or incontinence, and will arrange medical appointments and transportation when needed.
The community has many floor plans to choose from, payment options including Medicaid, and advice for planning your stay. There's an executive director who leads a staff dedicated to personal, attentive service, and the place is operated by Key Property Services, Inc., which aims to make Van Vista a warm and welcoming place, where affordable housing is available to low-income individuals, and where folks from all walks of life can find support and comfort as they age.
