Garden Courte Memory Care in Olympia, WA is dedicated exclusively to memory care and is prepared to manage the full spectrum of dementia-related needs. The team is trained to work with residents who wander during the day or night, show exit-seeking or combative behaviors, or experience other behavioral concerns common to advanced dementia. Medical oversight extends to wound treatment, oxygen therapy, and complex dietary requirements. Diabetes management covers residents on oral medication, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens. Because the community supports advanced dementia conditions, care plans are routinely reviewed to track cognitive changes and adjust interventions quickly.
The property is a secured community, reducing the risk of elopement and giving families peace of mind. Licensed staff is on duty around the clock, and on-site professionals provide podiatry, audiology, dental care, and therapy services without residents leaving the building. Full assistance is available with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the team can accommodate a wide range of mobility needs, from walker or wheelchair use to one- or two-person transfers and bed-bound support. The community also accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses when appropriate care plans are in place.
Resident apartments may include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, and the option to repaint or add personal décor; however, not every unit offers every feature, so it is important to verify availability. Housekeeping is provided on a regular schedule, and laundry services are coordinated for residents who need that support, helping to keep clothing and linens clean without resident effort.
Meals are served from a set menu that rotates to provide variety while meeting dietary guidelines. Snacks are available between meal times, and the kitchen can handle common modifications, including gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, and other physician-ordered diets. Consistent carbohydrate plans support diabetic residents, and staff monitor intake for those who require assistance or observation during meals.
Garden Courte offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie room, communal gardens, library, pool, barber and beauty services, special-interest clubs, and on-site religious services. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation options include scheduled shuttle service for medical appointments and proximity to public transit for added convenience.
