Golden Age Center Memory Care in Milwaukie, Oregon, operates as both a licensed Residential Care Home and a dedicated Memory Care community. By integrating these two care types, the center can take residents through the full continuum of cognitive support, from mild memory loss to late-stage dementia. The program is structured to accommodate individuals who wander during the morning or evening hours, and it has established protocols for residents who require oxygen therapy, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes with either oral medications or insulin injections.

Clinical oversight is provided by on-site RNs and LPNs who monitor chronic conditions, coordinate physician orders, and adjust care plans for advanced dementia. Staff deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and are trained in a range of transfer techniques, from simple standby support to two-person mechanical assists for wheelchair users. Continuous security measures and a structured daily routine help minimize exit-seeking behavior, while individualized care plans allow the team to address shifting medical and behavioral needs without disrupting the resident’s routine.

The community offers a selection of private and companion suites designed for accessibility, featuring wide doorways, step-in showers with grab bars, and emergency call systems. Certain rooms add built-in wardrobes or in-unit climate controls, though not every accommodation has each of these features, so families should verify specifics during a tour. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are included, helping residents keep their spaces clean and organized without added effort.

Dining follows a fixed schedule of three daily meals and planned snacks, with menus reviewed to meet physician-ordered diets for diabetes management, texture-modified needs, or caloric adjustments. Residents who require total assistance with feeding receive one-on-one support, and staff are trained to monitor fluid intake and blood-glucose levels in coordination with meal service. Families can request menu substitutions or holiday meals, and the kitchen staff documents nutritional compliance to keep medical records current.

The building is fully wheelchair accessible, allowing residents to move freely between private quarters, common lounges, and outdoor areas without encountering barriers.
