Totem Lake Adult Family Home delivers residential care in a setting equipped for residents who wander, exhibit combative behaviors, or live with advanced dementia. The staff manages special diets and all levels of diabetes care, including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Podiatry services are provided on site, allowing residents to receive routine foot care without leaving the community.
The community maintains 24-hour staffing, on-site security, and a fenced rear area to prevent unsafe exit. Personal Emergency Response Systems alert staff to residents’ needs. Full assistance is offered with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from standby support and one- or two-person assists to full Hoyer-lift transfers and bed-bound care. Walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and some include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, and cable service. Because floor plans and features vary, not every accommodation has every amenity; families can review specific room layouts during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diet modifications. Staff manage portion control, carbohydrate counting, and texture adjustments as required. Snacks are available between meals, and full assistance with feeding is provided when needed.
The property is wheelchair accessible and offers internet access so residents can stay connected. A visiting physician from NW Geriatrics conducts regular on-site appointments, reducing the need for outside travel.
