Woodside Place of Washington offers dedicated Memory Care with clinical protocols designed for residents who live with mild forgetfulness through advanced dementia. The community is prepared to manage residents who wander during the day or night, those at risk of elopement, individuals who remain awake overnight, and people who require wound care, oxygen therapy, or tailored diets. Staff members track and assist residents who are under 60 years old and those managing diabetes—whether on oral medications, injections, or sliding‐scale regimens—ensuring timely monitoring and intervention.
An RN or LPN is on duty around the clock, supported by additional licensed nursing staff to address urgent needs at any hour. Employees undergo background checks, and the night shift is fully awake to handle behavioral changes or medical issues after dark. A fenced rear area helps reduce wandering risk, and an activity director coordinates purpose-driven engagement throughout the day. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from simple standby supervision to one-person and two-person transfers, including support for walkers and wheelchairs. On-site podiatry services reduce offsite appointments and streamline foot and ankle care.
Accommodations include furnished suites with private bathrooms, individual temperature controls, and cable connections, although not every apartment has each feature. Families can select the layout that best matches their budget and the resident’s mobility needs without compromising access to care.
Dining follows an on-order approach, allowing residents to choose meals at each sitting. Snacks are available between meals, and the culinary team coordinates diet modifications for low-sugar, low-salt, or other physician-directed plans so that clinical goals align with personal tastes.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a wellness center, campuswide internet, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation connects residents to local appointments and events when needed.
