The Cottages of Sequim is a memory-care–only community designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, including advanced stages. Care teams are trained to manage wandering behaviors at any hour, reduce elopement risk, and support residents who stay awake throughout the night. Clinical capabilities include wound care, oxygen management, special diet preparation, and care for residents who control diabetes with oral medication. Hospice services are available on site, allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings should health needs change.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers remain awake overnight, respond to pull-cord alerts, and monitor secured doors and a fenced rear area. An activity director structures daily programs that meet dementia-care standards. On-site professionals provide physical, occupational, and ambulatory therapy, podiatry, dentistry, incontinence care, and comprehensive medication management. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they accommodate a wide range of transfers—from standby support with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound residents.
Resident apartments offer pragmatic comforts such as private bathrooms, cable access, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry. Some but not all units include every feature, so families should confirm specific room layouts and amenities during a visit. The design emphasizes safety and orientation cues suited to memory care.
Meals follow both set menus and made-to-order options, and therapeutic diets are integrated into daily service. Snacks are available throughout the day, and residents may choose in-room dining when needed. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings, giving loved ones a chance to share meals in a quieter setting.
Community amenities add daily structure and convenience. The campus is wheelchair accessible and includes a barber and beauty shop, movie room, library, high-speed internet access, and communal gardens. On-site religious services and a concierge round out the practical offerings, giving residents and families added support without leaving the property.
