Porthaven Manor is an Independent Living community that accepts residents who use oxygen, are under 60 years of age, or manage diabetes with oral medication. Because the community does not offer a dedicated memory-care program, it is best suited to residents without dementia-related needs. Independent residents benefit from having routine wellness oversight while still maintaining control of their daily schedules.

Care delivery is supported by an Activity Director and 24-hour on-site staffing for security and prompt response to concerns. Residents have convenient access to a nurse, medication management, rehabilitation from occupational and physical therapists, podiatry, dental visits, massage therapy, and coordinated hospice care when required. Assistance with bathing, eating, or dressing is provided on a standby or supervisory basis, and self-managed toileting is expected. Transfer help ranges from simple standby support to one-person assist for walkers and wheelchairs.

Apartments can be personalized; residents may paint or decorate their spaces subject to community guidelines, and housekeeping is available to keep living areas orderly. Not all units include every feature, so interested residents should verify specific room details during a tour. Independent Living residents receive regularly scheduled housekeeping as part of the monthly service package.

Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary staff and served in the community dining room. Standard offerings aim to balance nutrition and familiarity, and staff are available to provide standby assistance during meals for those who need a steady hand rather than hands-on feeding.

Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, an arts and crafts studio, billiards lounge, mini theater, barber and beauty shop, on-site convenience store, internet access throughout the building, and scheduled transportation for shopping and medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
