Core Specialties
Expert Care for Complex Medical Needs
Large-scale communities often shy away from complex medical cases because their staffing levels cannot support the intensive monitoring. Edmonds Villa is designed for the opposite, our medical professionals specialize in the heavy and complex cases that other centers find difficult to manage. Our Senior Living model is purpose-built to provide hospital-level support for residents who deserve individual attention.
Respiratory & Airway Mastery
In institutional settings, respiratory checks might happen once per shift. At Edmonds Villa, airway safety is a continuous priority, managed by an RN-led team who understands the vital nature of every breath.
- Ventilator Support: Expert management of settings, circuit integrity, and 24/7 alarm monitoring
- Tracheostomy Excellence: Frequent sterile suctioning, meticulous cannula care, and humidity control.
- Oxygen Therapy: Precise high-flow management and constant pulse-oximetry tracking.
Dedicated Nutritional Management
We handle complex feeding needs with the time and clinical patience that large facilities often cannot spare. Our boutique senior care ensures nutrition is a source of health.
- Enteral Support: Professional management of PEG, G-tube, and J-tube (Jejunal) systems.
- Custom Texture Protocols: Soft, diets that maintain high nutritional density and flavor for those with swallowing difficulties.

Infrastructure & Safety
Hospital Safety Standards Inside a Private Residence
A common worry for families is that a boutique home might lack the heavy-duty equipment found in a large nursing facility. At Edmonds Villa, we have bridged that gap. We have integrated the same high-level medical infrastructure used in hospitals directly into our home. Our systems are built to ensure that even the most medically complex residents are safe, stable, and comfortable at all times.
Automatic Whole-Home Backup Power
The lights—and life support—never go out.
In the Pacific Northwest, power outages from storms are a real risk. For a person on medical equipment, a standard home power failure is a life-threatening emergency.
The Edmonds Villa Standard
We have invested in a commercial-grade, automatic backup generator system
The Result:
If the local power grid fails, our system kicks in within seconds. Oxygen machines, ventilators, feeding pumps, and monitoring systems never skip a beat, so your loved ones are safe
Integrated Ceiling Track Lift Systems
Safe, dignified movement for every resident.
Many facilities rely on bulky, portable “Hoyer” lifts that are noisy and uncomfortable, often take two or three people to operate, which can feel undignified for the resident.
The Edmonds Villa Standard:
We have installed permanent, hospital-grade ceiling lifts that glide along a track system in the rooms.
The Result:
We move residents from bed to a chair or into a bath with zero physical strain and maximum comfort. This is a big plus for residents with limited mobility or those who require bariatric care.
Why Choose a Specialized Adult Family Home ?
The fundamental difference between a massive facility and a boutique home comes down to two things: Individual Attention and the Quality of the Environment. Below is a direct look at how Edmonds Villa provides a superior alternative to the traditional nursing home experience.
| Feature | Large Nursing Home | Edmonds Villa |
|---|---|---|
| Staff-to-Patient Ratio | ✕ Typically 1 Nurse to 15–30 Patients. Response times are slow. | ✓ Low Ratio (Typically 1:3 or better). Immediate attention. |
| Infection Control | ✕ High traffic, hundreds of staff/visitors. High risk of spreading illness. | ✓ Controlled Environment. Fewer people, lower risk, strict protocols. |
| Continuity of Care | ✕ Constant rotation of agency staff. You never know who is working. | ✓ Consistent Team. We know your loved one’s baseline and notice changes. |
| Environment | ✕ Clinical, noisy, sterile hallways, fluorescent lights. | ✓ Warm, home-like. Home-cooked meals, quiet bedrooms, family atmosphere. |
| Equipment | ✕ Often outdated or shared between wings. | ✓ Dedicated infrastructure. Ceiling lifts and backup power integrated. |

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the staffing ratio at Edmonds Villa, and how does it compare to a nursing home?
We maintain a 1-to-5 ratio or better, it allows our RN-led team to provide 1-on-1 attention and notice subtle health changes immediately.
2. Can you handle high-acuity needs like ventilators or tracheostomy care
Yes, Edmonds Villa is purpose-built for high-acuity care. We specialize in ventilator dependency, tracheostomy management, and complex feeding tubes (PEG/G-tube/J-tube).
3. Is there an RN on-site or just on-call?
Edmonds Villa is run by Sandra Namwase, RN, who provides direct clinical oversight. We have a nurse on-call, and all our care plans and daily medical audits are led by an experienced registered nurse who is deeply involved in every resident’s care.
4. Can my loved one transition directly from the hospital to your home?
Yes, we specialize in hospital-to-home transitions. Our team coordinates with hospital discharge planners and social workers to ensure all equipment is calibrated and medications are reconciled before your loved one arrives.
5. How does a boutique home reduce medical risks compared to a large facility?
Large facilities often struggle with cross-contamination because hundreds of staff members and visitors move through the hallways daily. At Edmonds Villa, our environment is strictly controlled, we have a small team and fewer people entering the home, which lowers the risk of seasonal viruses and healthcare-associated infections.
6. Does insurance or Medicaid cover the cost of care at Edmonds Villa?
Financial coverage for specialized Adult Family Homes can vary. We primarily work with private pay and can often coordinate with long-term care insurance providers. Moreover, we offer a higher level of medical staffing (RN-led) and specialized ceiling lifts. Our care is usually more cost-effective than a private-pay wing in a large, high-end nursing facility.
