Overview of Stephen’s Place

Stephen’s Place is a specialized residential community under license #2414, active through January 2026 in Vancouver, Washington, focusing on adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). With a 41-bed capacity, the community has 30 occupied beds, and is currently at 73% occupancy rate. The community also follows a holistic model that supports physical, social, emotional, spiritual, vocational, and volunteer aspects of daily life.

This setting differs from traditional assisted living or nursing models and is classified as a behavioral health community, offering services like private residential apartments, a structured day program, horticultural therapy, and opportunities for community involvement. Its focused approach makes it a more specialized option, so families should confirm that eligibility requirements are met before moving forward.

According to the Washington Department of Social and Health Services, Residential Care Services, the community has had two inspections. The most recent, conducted on December 12, 2024, identified gaps in fire safety documentation, including missing or outdated testing records, resulting in a compliance concern in that area. A prior follow-up visit in October 2024 also found no deficiencies and confirmed that earlier staff training documentation issues had been resolved. Additionally, there were no complaint-initiated investigations reported.

Stephen’s Place is best suited for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities seeking structured programming, community engagement, and support in a smaller residential setting. Its focus on dignity, independence, and meaningful daily activity sets it apart from more traditional care models. Families are also encouraged to discuss eligibility criteria and current safety updates directly with the community.
