Willow Creek in Port Orchard, WA operates as a residential care home, focusing on residents who need a higher level of medical oversight than a traditional senior apartment community can provide. The team is equipped to manage oxygen therapy and monitor residents who control diabetes with oral medications. Advanced dementia care is supported, and an on-staff RN or LPN coordinates with visiting practitioners, including an on-site podiatrist, to keep routine and urgent health issues in check.
Beyond medical supports, the community maintains 24-hour staffing with a nurse on call, an awake night shift, and background-checked caregivers. The rear grounds are fenced, exterior doors are alarmed, and staff are trained to perform full-assistance bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby support for walker users to one-person or bed-bound transfers for wheelchair users, ensuring residents with limited mobility are safely moved.
Private and semi-private rooms are available furnished, and residents may paint or decorate subject to safety guidelines. Cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are offered, though not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should confirm specific room details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu with the option to order alternatives. In-room dining is available when needed, and snacks are stocked throughout the day. The kitchen team manages special diets, providing mechanical-chopped or pureed meals, thickened liquids, and vegetarian choices under physician or dietitian guidance.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a movie room, and internet connectivity. Communal gardens provide outdoor space, and scheduled transportation covers medical appointments through a shuttle service.
