The Sequoia Assisted Living Community in Olympia offers an assisted living program designed for residents who need routine help with daily activities and ongoing medical oversight. Licensed nurses manage medication administration, perform regular health assessments, and coordinate with each resident’s primary physicians and specialists. Care staff are on duty 24/7, response pendants are monitored around the clock, and each apartment is equipped with an emergency call system. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists visit the community under physician orders, and transportation is arranged for off-site medical appointments.

Additional care features include scheduled wellness checks, chronic disease monitoring, and fall-risk assessments performed at set intervals. The community maintains on-site clinics for podiatry and lab draws to reduce unnecessary trips to outside providers. A registered dietitian reviews menus to support physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or heart-healthy plans. Caregivers help with bathing, grooming, dressing, and continence care according to each resident’s individualized service plan, which is reviewed and adjusted monthly or as conditions change.

Residences range from studios to one-bedroom apartments. Units may include private baths with walk-in showers, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, basic cable, and Wi-Fi, although not all accommodations have all the features. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, and laundry facilities are on each floor. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Three meals a day are served in the main dining room, with entrée choices at each seating and rotating seasonal menus. Therapeutic diets ordered by a physician are prepared under the supervision of the dietitian, and staff are available to assist residents who need help cutting food or monitoring carbohydrate intake. Snacks, beverages, and a continental breakfast station are available throughout the day, and meals can be delivered to the apartment during illness or recovery. Guests may purchase meal vouchers to dine with residents.
