Golden Age Living in Vancouver, WA is a dedicated memory-care community. The staff is trained to support residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia through structured daily routines, behavioral cueing, and constant supervision. Care plans are customized, and licensed nurses oversee medication management to help reduce confusion and potential drug interactions.
In addition to cognitive support, the community offers medical oversight for residents managing diabetes. Blood-glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and dietary coordination are provided as needed. Communication with outside physicians is maintained to adjust treatment plans promptly, and staff members track vital signs and lab orders to help keep diabetic residents stable.
Living quarters are designed for both accessibility and privacy. Floor plans include private baths, wheelchair-accessible showers, and a blend of indoor and outdoor common areas so residents can move about with minimal obstacles. Resident parking is available for those who still drive or for visiting family members, though not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so it is best to confirm specific room layouts during a tour.
Daily meals are served in a communal dining room where staff monitor intake and, when necessary, provide reminders or direct assistance. Standard menus are prepared alongside vegetarian and kosher options, and nutrient profiles are tailored to meet physician-ordered diets, including carbohydrate-controlled choices for residents with diabetes. All meals are included in the monthly rate.
Residents have access to organized, on-site activities designed to maintain cognitive function and encourage social interaction. Programs may include exercise sessions, arts projects, and small-group discussions to engage memory and fine motor skills.
