Advanced Care Center

Advanced Care Center sits on a large piece of farm acreage in Vancouver, Washington, surrounded by open outdoor spaces that make it easy for residents to relax and enjoy nature, and it's small with space for only six seniors, which means every resident gets personal care from experienced staff, many with over 20 years working in dementia, Alzheimer's, and senior care, and the staff uses unique programs and care plans tailored for each person's needs, so everyone gets support for memory loss, incontinence, or complex medical issues like diabetes, and folks also get specialized attention because the team uses a caregiver-to-resident ratio that's better than most places and helps residents know their caregivers well. The facility features private rooms with bathrooms that have wheelchair accessible showers, and there are indoor and outdoor common areas for visiting, socializing, or just enjoying some quiet, plus there's a spa-like wellness room, barber and salon services on-site, hot tub, sauna, and plenty of spots to relax, like a reading room and gardening area where residents can plant flowers or vegetables. They serve three home-cooked meals a day and offer kosher and vegetarian options, and can prepare special diets if needed, and residents' pets, like small dogs and cats, can live there too with a weight limit, which helps residents feel at home. Transportation and parking are available for residents, and when folks can't drive, staff can arrange rides for outings or medical visits at cost, and the grounds and inside spaces are all accessible for wheelchairs. There's a big focus on keeping people comfortable and connected with others, so there are scheduled daily activities, movie nights, fitness and Tai Chi classes, art and music programs, and community events, plus religious and devotional services for Adventist and Christian residents. Healthcare services cover a lot, including memory care, diabetic and incontinence care, high acuity needs, medication management, board and care, non-ambulatory care, rehabilitation and therapy, hospice to make end-of-life stages easier, and respite or short stays for families who need a break, and staff can help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and more-whatever folks have trouble with. The memory care and dementia programs combine daily activities, music therapy, and memory-enhancing tasks with medication plans that aim to slow disease progression, and the staff keeps everyone safe within secure boundaries. Residents enjoy family events with food and entertainment, plus entertainment from a therapy dog, and the friendly feel of a full-service adult family home gives folks comfort and a real sense of community. Washington's Department of Social Services regulates the home under certification ID 751863, so care meets standards, and the whole setup-from menus and activity schedules to private rooms and personalized plans-supports independence, personal dignity, and wellness for each person who lives there.
