Homeplace Special Care Center at Oak Harbor

HomePlace is a stand-alone Memory Care designed to provide exceptional person-centered holistic care to residents with cognitive impairment.

Located in the heart of Island County, our community is a short drive from historical downtown Oak Harbor, the local beachfront, and famous campgrounds. Whether your loved one is moving in from Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Greenbank, or anywhere else, your loved one will feel right at home at HomePlace.

Residents say they love the courtyard with fresh berries and vegetables growing, the nearby ocean smell, and of course the loving, playful staff. Together, we form a community that residents feel comfortable, appreciated, and dignified.

We understand a memory-illness diagnosis is trying on a family and their loved one.That’s why ensuring every aspect of our professional care team eases the tension associated with Alzheimer’s and Dementia will always be our top priority. We want your loved one to feel safe and happy, and we want your family to relax knowing they are taken care of.

Our award-winning SPARK activity program is the engine that drives resident care and engagement within the community. This program’s four pillars are Community Contribution, Inclusion & Belonging, Lifelong Learning, and Purpose.

This research-based approach is inspired by Montessori Methods and is key to providing life-changing services to residents. SPARK focuses on engagement, a social lifestyle, and inclusion within the community at large.

The SPARK Difference

• Based on science and research
• Proven rehabilitation techniques
• Aims at increasing engagement and skills
• Uses proprietary assessment tools that go beyond traditional methods

SPARK places ultimate focus on supporting our residents’ ideas, choices, and independence. We empower residents to create a community that speaks to them. Our staff foster the natural spark within each individual by encouraging new ideas and helping to make these ideas a reality.

Your loved one will experience SPARK for themselves when they attend a monthly town hall meeting, engage in a procedural learning exercise, or simply enjoy a social happy hour.

Healthy living includes the mind, body, and spirit, and our caregivers work every day to help residents live a healthy lifestyle. 

Our community includes daily exercise classes with other residents so they can stay fit and limber. And when they just want to get the blood flowing, we offer abundant outdoor opportunities for a brisk walk through the lovely surrounding area. 

Additionally, Lifelong Learning – as part of our signature SPARK program – provides residents with a source of continued growth. They may hear from guest speakers, attend small and large group crafts, or engage in painting programs and interactive lectures. These programs are essential for stimulating the mind as well as the body. 

Religion is essential to many of our staff and residents – and we’re happy to welcome all denominations. We offer dedicated space for various services, gatherings, and other interests to review, read, sing, discuss, or otherwise fulfill your desire to seek or pursue a warm and familiar experience.

We believe your loved one’s experience in a memory care community should be enjoyable and purposeful.
