Assisted Living and Memory Care at Highgate Senior
Living located in Vancouver, Washington
are both offered in a beautiful 'Manor House' tucked
into the Hazel Dell residential neighborhood community
with a wonderful view of Mount Hood.
Highgate Vancouver provides independent
retirement living and assisted living for older
adults as well as separate and secure memory care
for those affected with Alzheimer's or other forms
of dementia. We are conveniently located to parks,
walking paths, shopping, Salmon Creek Hospital,
pharmacy, movie theatres, churches, doctors and
clinics. Our van is available for scheduled outings
or needed transportation.
The 'Manor' at Highgate Vancouver is a smaller apartment
community and because of the cozy size it is easier
to move about the building for meals and activities
and to meet and interact with other residents.
Residents have a choice of a spacious studio, alcove,
one bedroom, or two bedroom apartment complete with
kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave and a 3 piece
bathroom with a large walk-in shower. You are free
to furnish and decorate your new apartment as you
wish and small pets are welcome so your new surroundings
will immediately feel like home.
For
those who want completely independent living, but
access to the services and amenities of The Manor,
our beautiful two bedroom Retirement Villa Duplex
Homes are located conveniently but separately on
the Highgate property.
We provide a continuum of care that can
accommodate changing needs of a resident:
- Independent
living in a separate Villa Duplex Home gives
peace of mind that help is only seconds away
in an emergency
- Assisted
living for those needing help with activities
of daily living and limited nursing services
- Enhanced
Care for the Senior needing full assistance
and support
- Our
secure Memory Care Cottage provides that needed
personalized support and security as memory
declines.
Activities
Designed for All Interests
Something for everyone
If you love gardening
but find it hard on your back, our waist-high planters
in our gardener's courtyard may be just the answer.
There's a full kitchen in the Activity Room. It's
perfect for entertaining family and friends with
plenty of comfortable seating for family potlucks
and birthday celebrations. And it's the perfect
place for baking cookies with those special grandchildren.
Our full-time Activities Director caters to all
interests and encourages involvement. From impromptu
sing-a-longs at our Grand Piano to a trip down memory
lane with an old or new-found friend, there's always
something interesting to do at Highgate. Learn more
about our
Senior Activities and Programming.
Convenient Design
The Manor at Highgate is a smaller apartment community.
Our smaller size is warm and welcoming with beautiful
landscaped gardens and courtyards. Due to the cozy
size of our community, it is easier for our residents
to independently find their way around the building
for meals and activities…and to meet and interact
with other residents. Our residents are encouraged
to spend much of their time in the common areas
of our community as most research indicates
that socialization is the most important key in
slowing down decline due to aging.
At Highgate, we provide an array of areas in our
building to interest and delight residents and families
alike…
-
A luxurious Spa where a resident can be
pampered with a massage or spa bath and
indulge in therapeutic aromatherapy
-
Cozy and private fireplace nooks where a
resident can curl up
-
Game rooms to keep minds challenged
-
Arts and crafts areas
-
Television room
-
A beautifully appointed grand dining room.
Of course, our residents can always be pampered
in the lovely Highgate Beauty/Barber Shop.
Specialized Assisted Living Environment
Highgate
offers a unique Program…called Life
Enhancement that is specifically designed to
create a day...every day...for the older adult.
It is due to our unique programming that an aging
adult needing assistance will generally thrive in
our elegant, non-institutional, and less restricted
environment. At Highgate the every day life of a
resident is enhanced and structured with:
-
Active Participation in familiar music activities
-
Opportunity and encouragement to complete
mentally challenging tasks
-
Aromatherapy and spa events designed to
rejuvenate or relax depending on the need
-
Baking and cooking to keep old skills sharp
and the resident engaged
-
Woodworking and crafts to keep the creative
part of the mind alive
-
Gardening, potting, and flower arranging
-
Daily exercise class as well as walking
and dancing
Our Programming is Based on Current
Research
Research has demonstrated that aging adults
who socialize and participate in these types
of events will stay vital longer… and decline
much more slowly… than their peer who is isolated
and living alone.
Meals and Hydration
At Highgate, our residents are treated like royalty
in our finely appointed dining room. They are presented
with choices at all three meals from which they
are welcome to select their favorite “home-style”
cuisine. At Highgate, we know that mealtime is an
important part of the day…both socially and nutritionally.
Additionally, we understand that dehydration is
the underlying cause of 90% of hospitalizations
for older adults…so we provide plenty of opportunity
for our residents to keep hydrated by providing
a beverage bar as well as always offering a favorite
beverage during or after each hourly activity.
The Highgate Team
At Highgate, we believe our most important ingredient
is our staff. From our nursing department, housekeeping,
maintenance, activities, and our dietary department
we pride ourselves in hiring exceptionally caring
people who have chosen to provide loving care
to our residents. Highgate is unique in the
fact that we employ professional individuals
and then we highly train them in the “stages
of decline” due to aging. Therefore residents,
families, and staff have the best resources
available when problems arise.
We spend our lives searching for comfort, security,
and a feeling of belonging. For an aging adult,
these basic human needs are no less important.
Actually, At Highgate Senior Living, we believe
they are more so. Each resident’s individual
capabilities are encouraged, their inabilities
understood, no matter what the level of care
required. They are encouraged to enjoy each
and every day to the fullest extent of their
abilities - with independence, privacy, friendship,
dignity and love. At Highgate, our goal is to
be known in the community we serve as:
“Experts in Aging”.
