Orchard Pointe by Cogir in Port Orchard delivers a Memory Care program that accommodates a wide range of medical needs. The team is prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, have elopement risk, show combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or require wound care or oxygen therapy. Staff can manage specialized diets and provide full diabetic support whether the resident uses oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Memory Care services extend to residents under 60 years old and to those living with advanced dementia.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call around the clock, while an awake night shift and 24-hour security help maintain safety. On-site podiatry, dental services, and acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses reduce the need for outside appointments. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained for every transfer level—from simple standby with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lifts for bed-bound residents. The community uses alarmed doors, a fenced rear area, and in-room pull cords to help prevent unsafe exits and to summon help quickly.
Apartments are designed for comfort and supervision, offering private bathrooms, individual temperature controls, cable service, and regular housekeeping; some suites also allow residents to paint or decorate to their preferences. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation includes each of these features, so touring families should confirm specific room details during a visit.
Dining follows a set menu served three times daily, supplemented by all-day snacks and a private dining room for family gatherings. The culinary team manages diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid meals, ensuring that residents with medical or texture requirements receive appropriate nutrition.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet, communal gardens, and a library. Transportation services and proximity to public transit make off-site appointments and outings easier. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas.
