Duracare Adult Foster Home, operated by Carmel Durano in Aloha, Oregon, functions as a residential care home and is equipped to deliver a broad range of medical supports. Residents who need wound care, oxygen therapy, or medically ordered special diets can receive these services on site. The team is prepared to manage diabetes whether it is controlled with oral medications, scheduled insulin injections, or sliding-scale coverage. Support for advanced dementia conditions is available, and a nurse is on call around the clock to coordinate treatments, monitor changes, and communicate with physicians.
Additional safeguards and direct-care features back up the medical services. Staff members are present on site 24 hours a day, with an asleep night shift, and the property includes a fenced rear area, security monitoring, and pull-cord systems that alert caregivers. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive hands-on help. Mobility support ranges from basic standby with a walker to one- or two-person transfers, full Hoyer lift transfers, and care for those who are bed-bound.
Accommodations are designed to feel personal yet practical. Depending on the room selected, residents may be able to paint or decorate to their taste, and some rooms are equipped with cable service. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided so residents do not need to manage daily chores. Not every room includes every feature, so families should confirm availability during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu that aims to meet nutritional standards while accommodating physician-ordered diets. Residents can request modifications for sodium, carbohydrate, or texture as needed, and snacks are available between meals. This approach allows the staff diet management team to coordinate with medical directives without sacrificing routine or predictability.
The residence allows smoking outside in designated areas, is fully wheelchair accessible, and offers internet access for residents who wish to stay connected to family, stream entertainment, or manage online appointments.
