Our care team

The people who will know your parent by name.

Exceptional care starts with exceptional people. Because we are a small private home, we keep an elite standard for our team. Only a small share of applicants are hired, which is what gives our residents real consistency.

Owner and provider

Peter, PMHNP-BC

Provider, advocate and psychiatric nurse practitioner, serving people with dementia and Alzheimer's since 2008.

Peter combines years of hands-on memory care experience with advanced clinical expertise to guide the care practices at Olympia Senior Care.

I knew my grandmother, GiGi, would thrive best in an intimate care environment, yet we could not locate a place that met our high standards. Hence, I created Olympia Senior Care.

How we hire

Hand-selected memory care experts.

We protect the peace of mind of our families by thoroughly vetting every potential team member before they ever meet a resident.

Stringent multi-stage screening

  • Live Scan background checks and security vetting
  • Intensive in-person interviews and behavioral screening
  • Rigorous skill-based examinations to test care capabilities

Washington licensed and certified

All of our nursing assistants are licensed by the State of Washington and hold active certifications in:

  • Clinical care. Nurse delegation, diabetes management, fundamentals of caregiving, emergency first aid and CPR.
  • Specialized support. Advanced dementia care, mental health support, and care for people living with intellectual disabilities.
  • Daily operations. Certified food handling and safety practices.

Advanced Montessori training

Once selected, our caregivers receive specialized training in Alzheimer's and dementia care. They use compassionate Montessori communication techniques to focus on residents' remaining strengths, understand behavioral changes with clinical empathy, and maintain proactive safety practices throughout our home.

Caregivers here are employees, not contractors. That is what keeps the same familiar faces in front of your parent week after week.

Meet them in person.

The best way to judge a care team is to watch them work. Come by for a quiet tour and see for yourself.
