Emerald City Senior Living is an assisted-living community equipped to manage a wide spectrum of medical needs. The team regularly supports residents who wander or elope, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, require wound care, use oxygen, follow special diets, are under age 60, manage diabetes with oral medication, or live with advanced dementia.

The community keeps an RN or LPN on staff, maintains an awake night shift, and provides 24-hour security with a fenced rear area, in-room pull cords, and a PERS system that alerts caregivers. A visiting podiatrist is available, and the residence accepts psychiatric diagnoses. Caregivers can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfers are handled at whatever level is needed, from standby help with a walker to two-person or full Hoyer-lift transfers.

Apartments vary, but may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Not every unit has every feature, so confirming specific details during a tour is advised.

Meals are ordered from a menu, snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen accommodates physician-ordered diets and personal preferences. Independent-living residents on campus can opt for housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan.

Amenities include resident parking, covered secure parking, on-site transportation options, and proximity to public transit. The property is wheelchair accessible and offers a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and select units with in-unit washers and dryers. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
