Vashon Community Care

Vashon Community Care Center, also called Vashon Island Community Care or VCC, sits on Vashon Hwy SW in Vashon, WA, and offers a mix of assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, short-term stays, and outpatient rehab tailored for seniors who need different types of help, and you'll find that the staff works to support each person's needs and daily routines, always trying to help residents stay as independent as possible, while focusing on privacy and choice in how each day goes, which can be rare in some places, and there's always someone around since they have a 24/7 call system and online support for questions. The facility has furnished rooms, housekeeping, laundry, and a dining room that provides all-day meals with attention to allergies and diabetic needs, so residents don't have to worry about meal planning, and there are options for those who need help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, or mobility, as well as incontinence care, diabetic care, and special support for non-ambulatory folks or people with dementia, and there's always supervision when needed. There's an on-site barber and salon, a community arts room, a well-stocked library with articles and videos for seniors and their families, plus gardens and walking paths making for nice days outdoors, and you'll often see resident-run activities or community events that really do build friendships among the folks living there, and even pets are allowed so you don't have to give up that part of life. Residents can use Wi-Fi for calls or video chats with family, and there are easy ways to ask questions or schedule a tour, since there's a contact form, email, and a map view for planning visits, and the building is handicap accessible, so nobody is left out. The whole place runs with a mission to enhance the experience of aging through caring services, led by Executive Director Verna Everitt and overseen by a board with co-chairs Susan Hanson and Andy Amstrup, and the nonprofit, recognized under EIN 91-1703092, works to foster a true sense of community rather than making everyone fit a single mold-every person gets a chance to help shape their day, their care, and their activities, whether that's joining a movie night, lending a hand in the garden, or enjoying quiet time in the library, and they've made sure to coordinate with nearby medical offices so it's easier to get to appointments when needed, which takes worry off families' minds. The property is built to support both independent seniors and those requiring more medical attention, and there are memory care programs for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. There's a helpful resource library, several ways to make contact for support, and a broad set of care options for adults as they age, with a focus on building relationships and supporting dignity.
