Augusta Place Care Home, operated by Grace Njeru, RN, is licensed in Oregon as a residential care home that accepts and supports residents living with advanced dementia. The community is structured to provide full-assistance care for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, ensuring residents who need hands-on help receive it consistently. Clinical oversight centers on dementia-specific best practices, and care plans are reviewed regularly by the registered nurse to adapt to changes in cognition or physical health.
Around-the-clock clinical coverage complements that care model. An RN or LPN is on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day to address urgent health issues. Care staff remain awake through the night shift, and all employees complete criminal background checks before hire. Transfer support ranges from standby assistance to two-person or full Hoyer lifts, including service for bed-bound residents, and walkers or wheelchairs are accommodated. Security measures include continuous staff presence, a fenced rear area, and locked entry points to reduce wandering risk.
Resident rooms are offered furnished, and families may bring personal items or even repaint walls, subject to management approval. Cable television is available in select rooms, housekeeping is provided, and laundry is handled on a scheduled basis, though not every room includes every feature.
Meals are served from a set menu, but residents can also order alternate selections when clinically appropriate. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft plans.
Internet access is provided, allowing residents to stay connected with family, manage online accounts, or enjoy streaming content under staff supervision where needed.
