Alina Severin, Evening Star ACH, is licensed as a Level 3 Residential Care Home and is equipped to manage a broad spectrum of medical needs. Staff are trained to stay awake and available throughout the night, making the home appropriate for residents who require monitoring or assistance 24/7. Clinical capabilities include wound care, supplemental oxygen management, and preparation of physician-ordered special diets. The team also accepts adults under 60 and is experienced in supporting diabetes management, whether the regimen involves oral medications, scheduled insulin injections, or sliding-scale dosing. While comprehensive in its medical services, the community does not specialize in dementia care.
Daily living support is delivered at the highest level offered in Oregon residential care settings. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and meals for residents who cannot manage these tasks independently. Transfer help ranges from simple standby supervision for walker users to two-person or full mechanical lift transfers for those who are bed bound. Wheelchair mobility is accommodated, and the home can continue caring for residents whose needs change over time, whether that means occasional help standing or complete dependence on staff for repositioning.
Accommodations include a mix of private and companion rooms, each with basic furnishings, call-light access, and safety features such as grab bars and slip-resistant flooring in the bathrooms; not every room has all amenities, so families should verify specific features during a tour. Common areas are designed for easy navigation with mobility devices, allowing residents who use walkers or wheelchairs to reach the living room, dining space, and outdoor patio without barriers. Housekeeping, linen service, and routine maintenance are provided by staff, with laundry schedules adjusted to individual preferences and clinical needs.
Meals are prepared on-site and follow physician or dietitian instructions when special diets—such as diabetic, low-sodium, or texture-modified plans—are required. The kitchen team consults with nursing staff to coordinate insulin timing and carbohydrate counts for residents on sliding-scale protocols. Menu rotations emphasize consistent mealtimes and balanced nutrition, and snacks are available between meals for residents who need smaller, more frequent servings. Dining assistance is offered at the level each resident requires, from verbal prompts to full feeding support, ensuring that everyone receives adequate nutrition even if motor skills or stamina are limited.
