Gerry Care Adult Family Home sits in Olympia, WA, at 9527 9th Ave SE, in a large, private house with six licensed beds, and nurses own and run everything here, which gives the place a family feel and keeps care personal and thorough for everyone, whether someone needs light, medium, or total care, including for quadriplegic patients and those who need trach or ventilator help, so residents always get a lot of attention day and night, with an RN on-site and another on call. This home covers many care needs, with services reaching from regular adult family home support, memory care, and help with daily things like bathing and taking medicine, all the way to nursing for strokes, diabetes, cardiac care, wound care with a proper team, pharmacy deliveries, blood thinner INR checks, and even central line or TPN. There's a registered dietitian on site, and meals and nutrition are part of daily life, as are things like in-home haircuts and nail care, so nobody's got to go without these comforts. Housekeeping, laundry, and all meals get handled by staff, and there's a fall prevention program and full wheelchair and walker access everywhere, which helps people move about safely.
Residents can enjoy cable and satellite TV with channels in Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Filipino, local sports, plus private phones and smart TV remotes, Wi-Fi for guests, and smart voice-controlled options, so people can keep up with favorite programs or call friends and family as they please. There's a home security system, full fire sprinklers, fenced grounds, emergency call buttons, locked exits for safety, and a generator for extra peace of mind. Gardens and patios hold mountain and water views, fruit trees, and private boxes where residents can plant their own things, while a family dining area, activity room, and spaces for music, art, and spa days round out the home. Activities happen each day, ranging from painting, puzzles, story time, tea, reading, music therapy, and pet visits, to group outings, holiday celebrations, gardening, exercise, bingo, movie nights, singing, and dancing, and the owners even have an accessible van and bus for trips. Pets can visit too if someone's family wants to bring their animal by, though no pets live inside full-time. Rooms are private, the atmosphere is peaceful, air conditioning runs through the home, and visiting hours run 9:00am to 8:00pm. People get support for VA benefits if they need it, and special touches, like aromatherapy and a smoking area, are part of the place, which helps everyone feel at home.
The home accepts men and women, supports a wide range of health conditions like traumatic brain injuries, mental health needs, developmental disabilities, visual and hearing impairments, and suits those who need respite stays, hospice, or end-of-life care, whether for a few weeks or long-term. The staff handle medication dispensing, therapy needs with physical, occupational, and speech support, help with diabetic and cardiac appointments, and offer both house and outside health care visits. There's easy access to public bus lines, nearby hospitals, and all the finishes make the place a blend of a real home and a top care spot. Gerry Care Adult Family Home doesn't take Medicare unless specially certified, is licensed and regulated under number 754202 for adult family home care and 755939, and falls under both state and veteran's guidelines. All the care and daily supports come in one place, so seniors can age in place and keep as much freedom and comfort as possible in a setting that feels like home, where everyone stays safe, well-fed, and as active as they want, and the nurses keep an eye on every detail.
