Zenaida Ravancho AFH sits at 1130 Canna Court Southeast in Olympia, Washington, right in a quiet neighborhood with a low crime rate, and has a license verified and kept current by the proper agencies, including DSHS and other state departments. This Adult Family Home only has five licensed beds, so everyone living there tends to get individual attention, which helps folks feel comfortable and at home. The staff provides care around the clock, looking after adults of all types, including those with Alzheimer's, dementia, developmental disabilities, mental health needs, or just folks who need extra help with daily living. The team there can help with personal care, housekeeping, meal preparation-with vegetarian and kosher options-reminders for medications and grooming, and even some skilled nursing like blood sugar tests, insulin shots, and different types of assisted transfers, including the use of mechanical lifts, and everything is designed for people who might need extra supervision, such as residents who wander or might sometimes act out. The staff uses bracelets with alarms and a computerized wandering alert system to help keep residents safe, and the secured memory care area, which is purposely built for memory care, sits in its own section of the house.
People living at Ravancho AFH get group meals and activity programs, some happening onsite and others offsite, with devotional services for those interested both in the home and out in the community, plus beautician visits for hair care. There are outdoor and indoor areas where people can relax or socialize, and residents who drive can park for free while those who don't can use complimentary transportation to get around. The staff includes nurses, therapists for physical, occupational, or speech therapy, plus podiatry, dental, and doctor visits as needed, which makes things easier on families who want their loved ones to stay in one place as care needs change. The team can handle transferring residents who need one or even two-person assistance, along with all types of toileting support, and they know how to respond compassionately to people who have wandering, aggressive behaviors, or confusion. Visiting hours run from 9:00am to 8:00pm. The home has accommodations for both male and female residents and keeps indoor spaces smoke-free for everyone. The place also supports respite and hospice stays when the need arises. People at Ravancho AFH get care that's simple, personal, and matches what they actually need, so they can age in place as comfortably as possible, and families don't have to worry all the time because the staff works to keep everyone safe, clean, and cared for.
