Stafford Suites of Port Orchard delivers both Assisted Living and Independent Living supported by a clinical structure that is designed for residents who need ongoing monitoring as well as those who are largely self-sufficient. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Care teams are trained to manage oxygen therapy, special diet requirements, younger residents under 60, and diabetics who rely on either oral medication or insulin injections. Mild dementia is accommodated, and podiatry services are available on site to reduce outside appointments. Night staff remain awake, and emergency pull cords and personal emergency response systems connect residents to help at any hour.
Daily living assistance is provided on an as-needed basis. Staff can offer some physical help with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while mealtime support is available through standby supervision. Mobility needs are met with transfer options that include walker or wheelchair support, standby assistance, or a one-person lift when required. The building has 24-hour staffing, a fenced rear area, and a security system that keeps entry points monitored. An activity director organizes programs for social and cognitive engagement, while the nursing team stays in close communication with families about any change in condition.
Accommodations range from studio to one-bedroom layouts, some of which include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Not every apartment has every feature, so prospective residents should verify what is available in the specific unit they are considering. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included for residents in Assisted Living, and those in Independent Living can choose housekeeping, laundry, medication-management monitoring, and a monthly meal plan as added services.
Dining is flexible. A set daily menu is complemented by on-order alternatives, with snacks available throughout the day. Meals can be taken in the main dining room, in a private dining area for family visits, or delivered to the apartment for in-room service. The kitchen team handles diet modifications such as mechanical-chopped textures, vegetarian choices, and physician-ordered diets, ensuring residents with special nutritional needs receive appropriate meals.
Amenities round out the living experience. The community offers resident parking, is fully wheelchair accessible, and maintains a barber and beauty shop, library, communal gardens, concierge desk, and special-interest clubs. Internet access is available throughout the property, and on-site religious services reduce the need to travel for worship. Transportation services include scheduled medical shuttles and access to nearby public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
