Josephine Caring Community
The line between needing help with doing the buttons in your shirt and needing a door that stays shut for your own safety can be thin. Josephine Caring Community in Stanwood, WA, carries both of those: assisted living and memory care. That means residents’ families need not look for a second address when their needs move from one to the next.
Assisted living covers just that: help with getting dressed, help with getting bathed, and help with getting medicated. But otherwise, residents are able to have their own space unsupervised. Memory care is the secured version of that. With more attentive care and supervision for someone who might try to leave when they really shouldn’t be out alone. The community has 86 beds.
Rehabilitation services are also provided in-house, so therapy does not mean booking somebody from outside. Pets are allowed so residents can bring theirs with them when they move in. The Walk Score is 59: that’s somewhat walkable.
