Overview of Highland Court Memory Care

Highland Court Memory Care provides memory care and respite care in Port Angeles, WA. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for residents who may be at risk of wandering, while respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 43 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know one another. Medicaid is accepted, giving families another payment option when a resident’s savings may not cover a long stay. Dining services include dietary modifications and birthday meal options, so meals can be adjusted for dietary needs and birthdays can be marked with a designated meal. Highland Court Memory Care may be a good fit for someone living with dementia who needs supervised memory care or for a family seeking a short-term stay during a caregiver’s absence.
