Briarwood Senior Family Home, operated by Kristina Fureyster in Vancouver, WA, functions as a residential care home that is prepared to support residents living with moderate dementia. The care team designs daily routines and oversight specifically for memory-related needs, placing priority on consistent structure and familiar surroundings to help reduce anxiety and confusion.
Daily hands-on assistance covers bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, with staff trained to provide full support for each of these activities. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, or who need stand-by help or a one-person transfer, receive the required mobility assistance without delay. A nurse is on call around the clock, all employees undergo background checks, an awake night shift remains on duty, and the property is secured with 24-hour staffing and a fenced rear area.
Accommodations consist of private and semi-private rooms; some include a private bathroom, cable service, and regular housekeeping. Residents and families should confirm which rooms have specific features when selecting a suite.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered or resident-requested diet modifications. Options can be made gluten-free, mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened for swallowing safety, or vegetarian. Staff monitor intake and adjust textures or seasoning as directed by dietitians.
Residents have access to an on-site barber and beauty shop for routine grooming and personal care, and landscaped communal gardens provide an outdoor area for walking or quiet time.
