Windsor Gardens Memory Care by Belamour Care sits at 1602 NE 162nd Ave in Vancouver, WA, and the place really feels like a regular house with its studio and one-bedroom spaces, some shared and some private, so people can pick what suits them best. The staff know how to look after people with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other memory issues, and they're always around, giving support both day and night. They use individualized care plans, so each resident gets help in the way they need, whether that's with dressing, bathing, medication, or daily activities, and there are MedTechs on staff to handle all the medication details safely. Folks can stay for the long haul, or just for respite care so family caregivers can have a break.
The meals are served as brunch and dinner and the staff pay a lot of attention to nutrition, with menus checked by certified nutritionists and plenty of choices like vegetarian or kosher food. Food is cooked on-site and served in a homelike dining room, which gives everyone a chance to visit with friends. Housekeeping and laundry are handled for you, and the maintenance people keep everything working smoothly, so nobody has to worry about chores.
Activities help residents stay busy with things like games, arts and crafts, fitness, museum outings, trips, and group events. People spend time both inside and outside, and the secure setting, sprinklers, and handicap features mean family can feel comfortable knowing everyone's safe. There's even a fitness center and a full-service salon and barbershop. For folks who like spiritual events, Windsor Gardens has devotional services both on and off site, and they provide rides out for appointments or shopping.
The place's memory care programs are structured to help seniors keep up their cognitive skills and stay as independent as possible. The staff give care with kindness and respect and focus on dignity, making sure each person still feels like themselves. People can enjoy the outdoor spaces, sit on their private patios, or gather in common rooms, and there are also therapy and nursing services, even podiatry, for folks who need extra attention. Rooms come with WiFi, cable TV, and private baths, and some areas have kitchens or kitchenettes if residents want to make a snack or warm something up. Windsor Gardens is part of the Belamour Care network and offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care with prices based on room type and level of care. Monthly rates go from about $2,000 for a studio or double up to $9,000 for a private nursing room. Each person gets a chance to join in wellness programs, enjoy hobbies, and connect with others, and the overall goal is to create a setting where seniors feel comfortable, cared for, and able to enjoy each day.
