Elevated Care in Des Moines, Washington, operates as a residential care home that is equipped to manage a wide spectrum of medical needs. The team is prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement risk, show combative or other behavioral issues, or stay awake throughout the night. Advanced dementia care is part of the program. Clinical attention extends to wound management, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes treatment whether through oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Residents younger than 60 can also be accommodated when their care requirements match the home’s capabilities.
The home maintains a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on staff with a nurse on call around the clock. Staff are on site 24 hours a day, and security measures include fenced grounds, alarmed doors, and personal emergency response systems that alert caregivers. A physician who owns the facility oversees medical practices, and a home-visit doctor is available to see residents in place. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby support to two-person lifts and use of a Hoyer lift for residents who are bed-bound.
Rooms can be furnished by the facility or arranged with personal belongings, and residents may add their own décor where space allows. Cable television, regular housekeeping, and laundry services are offered, but not every room includes every feature, so prospective residents should verify specifics during a visit.
Meals follow a set menu with the option to order alternatives at each sitting. Snacks are available between meals, and the kitchen works with medical staff to manage diet modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic, or other physician-directed plans.
Elevated Care provides wheelchair-accessible common areas, facility-wide internet access, and vantage points that look toward Puget Sound, giving residents practical conveniences and a local view without leaving the property.
