Kinsington at Oak Grove in Medford, OR is a dedicated Memory Care community prepared to manage every stage of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. Residents who wander—day or night—are monitored and redirected, and the grounds are secured to prevent elopement. The team is trained to address combative or other challenging behaviors and can supervise individuals who are up all night. Medical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and comprehensive diabetic management whether the resident is on oral medication, insulin injections, or a sliding‐scale regimen. The community also accepts adults under 60 who need memory support.
Direct support is delivered by an on-site RN or LPN, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, background-checked caregivers on an awake night shift, and an activity director who tailors programs for cognitive stimulation. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the staff can manage transfers ranging from standby help to two-person assists or full Hoyer lifts for bed-bound residents. Walker and wheelchair use are supported, and the property is fenced with staff present around the clock. The community can also admit residents with co-existing psychiatric conditions.
Most suites include a private bathroom, and residents are welcome to paint or decorate their rooms to make the space their own. Cable television hookups are available in many, though not all, accommodations. Prospective residents should confirm which specific features are included in the suite they are considering.
Meals follow a set menu designed to meet nutritional guidelines, with modifications available for diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets. Snacks are stocked throughout the day so residents who prefer smaller, more frequent meals always have an option. Staff remain on hand to provide full assistance with eating for those who need it, ensuring safety and adequate intake.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible pathways, and communal gardens that offer a secure space for fresh air and low-stress recreation.
