Heritage House in Woodburn, OR provides dedicated memory care and is prepared to handle a wide range of medical needs. The staff is trained to support residents who wander day or night, have a history of elopement, present behavioral issues, stay up all night, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical services include wound management, oxygen administration, and strict adherence to doctor-ordered diets. Diabetes care is available for residents on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin, and the community is open to adults under 60 who require memory care.
An RN or LPN is on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and all caregivers undergo background checks and remain awake during night shifts. Security measures include fencing in front and back, door alarms, WanderGuard technology, pull-cord alerts, and continuous staffing. On-site podiatry is offered, and residents with psychiatric conditions are accepted. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting and can manage transfers ranging from standby help to two-person, Hoyer lift, and bed-bound moves; walkers and wheelchairs are fully supported.
Rooms vary and may include a private bathroom, furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate; not every unit offers all these features, so availability should be confirmed. Meals follow a set menu served three times daily, with snacks available between meals, and the kitchen can adjust recipes or textures to meet special dietary prescriptions. Independent-living residents on the same campus can receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and participate in a monthly meal plan.
The community is wheelchair accessible and features a movie room for scheduled screenings, landscaped communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Its location near public transportation makes it easier for residents and families to reach appointments and enjoy outings beyond the campus.
