About 1st Care Home – Adult Family Home

1st Care Home – Adult Family Home provides personalized senior care in Battle Ground, WA, with an emphasis on dignity, safety, comfort, and individual attention.

Unlike a large institutional facility, an Adult Family Home provides care in a smaller residential environment. This allows caregivers to become familiar with each resident’s personality, routines, preferences, and changing needs.

Our approach supports the whole person—not only physical needs, but also emotional well-being, companionship, familiar routines, and meaningful daily experiences.

Families can explore our full range of care services to learn more about the different ways we can support their loved ones.

Our Assistance with Daily Living Approach

Our approach to Assistance with Daily Living in Battle Ground is centered around providing the right amount of help for each individual. We encourage residents to participate in their daily routines whenever they can safely do so while providing additional assistance when needed.

Personalized Care Plans

No two residents have exactly the same needs. We consider each person’s abilities, mobility, preferences, routines, health needs, and level of independence when providing everyday assistance.

As a resident’s needs change, their level of assistance can change as well. Our goal is to provide appropriate support while helping residents maintain their dignity and independence.

Bathing, Dressing & Personal Hygiene

Personal hygiene plays an important role in comfort, health, and self-confidence. Residents may receive assistance with bathing, showering, grooming, dressing, oral hygiene, and other personal-care routines depending on their needs.

Because these activities are personal, our caregivers approach them with patience, privacy, and respect.

Residents who also require assistance with medications and ongoing observation may benefit from our Medication Management & Health Monitoring services.

Toileting & Incontinence Assistance

Some older adults need assistance getting safely to and from the bathroom or managing incontinence.

Our caregivers provide respectful toileting and personal hygiene assistance while maintaining privacy and comfort. Appropriate assistance can also reduce the risk of falls associated with attempting to reach the bathroom without adequate support.

Mobility & Transfer Assistance

Changes in balance, strength, coordination, or health can make walking and transferring more difficult.

Depending on individual care needs, residents may receive assistance with walking, getting in and out of chairs, repositioning, and other everyday movements.

For adults who require specialized ongoing support, families can also learn about our Developmental Disability Care services.

Eating, Nutrition & Mealtime Assistance

Good nutrition and hydration are important parts of maintaining health and well-being. Some residents may need meal setup, reminders, encouragement, or assistance during meals.

We strive to make mealtimes comfortable and enjoyable rather than rushed. Individual dietary and health needs are considered as part of each resident’s care.

Our residential setting allows residents to become familiar with their surroundings, caregivers, daily schedules, and routines.

For residents experiencing Alzheimer’s disease or significant memory loss, learn about our Alzheimer’s care services and our approach to providing a supportive home environment.

24-Hour Supervised Care

Care needs do not always happen during regular daytime hours. Residents may need help getting to the bathroom at night, repositioning, walking safely, or managing other personal needs.
