Cristina’s AFH, operated by Christina Vitalaru in Vancouver, WA, is licensed as a residential care home that can handle a wide range of medical needs. The team is prepared to manage wound care, oxygen therapy, and multiple levels of diabetic support, including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Residents living with advanced dementia can remain in place as their conditions progress because an RN or LPN is on staff to monitor changes, coordinate with physicians, and adjust care plans promptly.
Daily support services cover every routine task. A nurse makes rounds, and caregivers remain on site through an asleep night shift to ensure safety. Residents who need help bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive full hands-on assistance. Mobility needs are met whether a person walks independently with a walker, moves by wheelchair, or relies on one- or two-person transfers; standby supervision is also available for those between levels of independence.
Rooms come equipped with cable access, though not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should confirm details during a tour. The home environment is designed to let residents bring familiar belongings, giving them control over layout and décor within licensing guidelines and available space.
Meals follow a set menu that rotates for variety while still allowing diet modifications such as carbohydrate management, low-sodium choices, mechanical-chopped textures, or full purée when needed. Staff monitor nutritional intake at each meal and can coordinate with physicians or dietitians if weight changes or metabolic issues arise, ensuring residents receive the right balance of calories, protein, and medications.
