Homewood Assisted Living in Milwaukie delivers assisted-living care with medical oversight tailored to residents who may need help managing chronic conditions. Staff are trained to handle oxygen support, diabetes care for both oral medications and injections, and they can admit adults under 60 when appropriate. Mild dementia is accommodated, and caregivers remain awake through the night to assist residents who are up late or require monitoring.
Residents benefit from a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on site, with a nurse on call around the clock. Hospice, ambulatory, and incontinence care are available, along with medication management and routine visits from therapists, a podiatrist, and an optometrist. Full assistance can be provided for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while staff offer some physical help with meals. Transfer help ranges from standby support to one-person assists for walkers and wheelchairs. Pull-cord alerts, 24-hour staffing, fenced grounds, and continuous security round out the safety program.
Apartment options may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the ability to paint or decorate, though not every unit has every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included in the monthly service plan to keep living areas clean and clothing cared for.
Dining follows a set menu prepared three times a day, and snacks are available between meals. The kitchen can coordinate with the clinical staff to adjust portions or ingredients for residents with diabetes, swallowing concerns, or other diet-related needs.
Amenities include on-site parking for residents, outdoor smoking areas, community-wide internet access, and fully wheelchair-accessible common spaces. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation for medical appointments and local errands is arranged on a scheduled basis.
