Washington Soldiers Home in Orting provides skilled nursing-home care delivered by licensed nurses around the clock. Residents have access to on-site physical therapy that focuses on restoring mobility, maintaining strength, and preventing falls. Care plans are individualized, reviewed regularly by interdisciplinary teams, and adjusted as medical needs change. Continuous monitoring, routine health assessments, and coordination with physicians ensure residents receive prompt attention for emerging issues.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the facility supports daily living through assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and transfers. Medication administration is supervised by licensed staff who use an electronic system that helps reduce errors and maintain accurate records. The community coordinates specialist appointments, arranges transportation for off-site care when required, and maintains an emergency response system that operates 24 hours a day.
Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, with some offering direct access to well-maintained outdoor areas where residents can spend time in fresh air or meet with visitors. Skynet Technology is in place in select areas to monitor safety and supplement staff rounds, while the electronic Medication Administration Record helps streamline care in rooms equipped for that feature. Not every accommodation contains every listed feature, so families may wish to confirm specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times a day in a communal dining room, with staff available to provide assistance to residents who need help eating. Menus are overseen by dietary professionals to meet nutritional standards and accommodate doctor-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified options. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and residents who prefer to dine in their rooms can arrange for tray service.
An activity center anchors the community’s social programming, offering space for group exercises, arts, games, and educational sessions. Scheduled events aim to support cognitive stimulation and encourage interaction among residents, while optional individual activities allow for quieter engagement based on personal preference.
