Green Haven sits in Vancouver, WA, and provides adult family home care for up to six residents at a time, focusing on personalized elder care with round-the-clock staff, and is run by nurses, which means there's always RN availability either onsite or on call, and the owners know how to handle complex medical needs, so folks living with memory issues like Alzheimer's or dementia get specialized care, and they support people with development disabilities and mental health conditions too, and family can visit from 9 in the morning until 8 at night, which makes it easier for everyone to keep in touch. The property is fenced and has a security alarm and emergency call system to help keep exit-seekers safe, and there's also a full fire sprinkler system and ADL security, which keeps the place secure and ready for emergencies, and they really do focus on safety for folks who might wander.
There's guest Wi-Fi with super high-speed internet, private rooms with patios, cable or satellite TV options, air conditioning, wheelchair-accessible spaces, and private baths with handicap access, and everyone gets the choice of special diets like low salt, no sugar, gluten-free, kosher or vegetarian, and meals can be served in a private dining area for family meals, room service, anytime dining, or even outside when the weather's right, and there's always fresh fruit from the trees right in the garden out back, which is a nice touch for people who like a taste of the outdoors. There are gardens to walk in, a library to read in, an activity room for all kinds of hobbies, and a dog on site to spend time with, along with a variety of pets allowed, though there are some restrictions. Magazines, newspapers, and the internet are free for residents, and everyone can catch up on things at their own pace.
Green Haven covers almost any care need, with home health visits from nurses, social workers, therapists, dietitians, podiatry care, and speech, physical, and occupational therapy coming right to the house, which some folks like because it means less running back and forth to appointments, and there's MD care on site too. They help with everything from medication management, oxygen therapy, wound care, blood thinner checks, feeding tubes (G-tubes, J-tubes, NG-tubes), handling different urinary catheters, bathing assistance, incontinence support, diabetic management, high acuity care, visiting hospice and palliative services, to total care for residents who are quadriplegic, and there are pharmacy deliveries and nurse delegation for all medication needs, so people with complex health issues can still join activities or enjoy their rooms without worrying too much about the details. There's cleaning and laundry service, manicure and hair care, and other simple comforts that can make daily life easier, and the place stays clean without a fuss.
Activities fill most days, with an activity director on site Monday through Friday leading things like holiday and birthday celebrations, movie nights, gardening, barbecues, storytime, board and card games, pet therapy, music therapy, garden walks, painting, bingo, cooking, puzzles, group singing or dancing, and even Montessori-based dementia programs to keep everyone's mind active, and exercise and range of motion sessions for anyone who likes to keep moving, plus reading groups and tea time for folks who prefer quieter moments. The home's close to a bus line and a hospital, which helps with errands or when someone needs to see a doctor fast, and residents get help with health and wellness appointments. Rooms and spaces are designed for comfort and to help everyone keep as much independence as they can with the right support, and there are options for independent and congregate living, short-term stays, or respite, along with skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and assisted living, so the staff can adjust the care plan as health needs change, working to help folks rediscover skills and enjoy life in a safe, private, and friendly place.
