Fairwood Care Home in Renton is an assisted-living community designed to support residents who need daily help while still maintaining as much independence as possible. On-site access to a physician helps residents coordinate ongoing medical needs, and respite or short-term stays are available for those recovering from surgery or illness. Staff members are trained in diabetes management, including monitoring blood glucose levels and administering insulin. A speech therapist visits the community, working with residents who need help maintaining or improving communication and swallowing skills.
The property operates as a secured community, which means entry and exit points are monitored to reduce the risk of wandering and unauthorized access. For residents who have a tendency to wander, a Wander Guard or similar monitoring system provides an extra layer of safety by alerting staff if someone attempts to leave designated safe areas.
Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom apartments, many of which are pet friendly so that residents can keep a companion animal if desired. Some units feature wheelchair-accessible showers, and outdoor areas such as walking paths or patios are available for fresh air and gentle exercise. Parking is offered for residents or guests who drive, but not every apartment includes all of these features, so discussing specific needs during a tour is recommended.
Three meals a day are prepared on site, and menus can be adjusted to match individual dietary plans. Vegetarian choices are regularly available, and staff monitors residents who require special attention to portion sizes or carbohydrate counts.
Residents may spend time outdoors in supervised or independent settings, depending on their care plans, and an activity center hosts games, crafts, and educational sessions. Scheduled social outings give residents opportunities to visit local shops, restaurants, or parks, promoting connection with the wider Renton community.
