Longhouse Everett operates as a Residential Care Home designed to manage complex medical needs. The staff is prepared to support residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement or combative behaviors, stay awake through the night, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical capabilities include wound care, oxygen management, special diets, and full diabetic oversight—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale regimens are all accommodated. Residents under the age of 60 who require these supports are also accepted.
Round-the-clock care is delivered by an interdisciplinary team that includes an RN or LPN on staff, background-checked caregivers, and an awake night shift. Safety measures feature door alarms, a fenced rear area, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. A visiting podiatrist handles on-site foot care, while direct assistance is offered with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting for those needing full help. Transfer capabilities range from standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers, making it possible to accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, and bed-bound residents.
Accommodation options may include cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry, but not every room contains every feature, so prospective residents should verify availability during a tour.
Dining offers a fixed daily menu alongside made-to-order selections, with snacks available throughout the day. Meals can be taken in the main dining area, delivered to a resident’s room, or served in a private dining room for family gatherings. The kitchen supports physician-ordered diet modifications, including mechanical-chopped meals, purees, thickened liquids, and vegetarian options.
Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly common areas, a movie room, internet connectivity, and communal gardens for outdoor relaxation.
