Des Moines Senior Care in Des Moines, WA, operates as a residential care home that can manage a wide range of medical needs. The community is prepared for residents who wander—whether during the day or at night—and has protocols in place for elopement risks, combative behaviors, and complex behavioral issues. Residents with advanced dementia conditions are accepted, and the team is familiar with supporting individuals who stay up all night. Clinical services extend to wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and comprehensive diabetic management, including oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale coverage. Younger adults under 60 are also eligible for care when the listed medical needs apply.

An RN or LPN is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. An awake night shift and 24-hour staffing provide continuous oversight, while a fenced rear area and an in-house PERS alert system reinforce safety. Direct care assistance covers full help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility needs are met with standby supervision, one-person and two-person transfers, walker and wheelchair support, and access to a Hoyer lift for full transfers, including bed-bound residents.

Private rooms with en-suite bathrooms are available, although not every accommodation includes all features. Cable service can be arranged in select rooms. The layout is straightforward and designed to simplify navigation for residents who may have cognitive or mobility challenges.

Meals follow a set menu that includes routine and therapeutic diet options, such as low-sugar, low-sodium, and texture-modified choices. Snacks are offered between meals, and staff handle any necessary diet modifications or monitoring related to diabetes or other medical conditions.

Common areas are wheelchair accessible, and internet access is provided so residents can stay connected with family, stream entertainment, or manage personal affairs online.
