Hood View Adult Foster Care in Vancouver, WA operates as a residential care home, delivering daily support within a small-scale setting. The community manages special diets, monitors diabetics on oral medication, administers insulin, and adjusts insulin on a sliding scale. Caregivers are trained to recognize and respond to the challenges that come with advanced dementia, maintaining routines and interventions that reduce agitation and confusion.
Additional safeguards back up the medical services. A nurse is on call around the clock, all staff undergo background checks, an asleep night shift monitors residents, and the rear grounds are fenced to limit wandering. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive hands-on help. Transfer aid ranges from supervision for those using walkers to one-person assists for wheelchair users.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and basic cable is an option in some units. Not all accommodations have all features, so prospective residents and families should confirm specifics during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site, and the kitchen team works with clinical staff to manage physician-ordered diet modifications. Portions, carbohydrate counts, sodium levels, and texture can be adjusted to meet individual medical plans, ensuring dining remains safe and consistent with each resident’s health requirements.
