Oregon City Adult Care Home, Petronella Donovan operates as a residential care home, giving residents access to a full range of medical oversight without the scale of a larger facility. Clinical capabilities include wound care, oxygen administration, and the preparation of physician-ordered therapeutic diets. The team also manages diabetes at every level, from oral medications to insulin injections and sliding-scale protocols, allowing residents to stay on site even as needs progress.
Additional safety and support measures are built in for daily living. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, all employees have completed background checks, and each resident room is fitted with a pull-cord system that alerts staff when assistance is needed. The community supports moderate dementia, provides hands-on help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and accommodates a range of mobility requirements, from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers for walkers and wheelchairs.
Accommodations include a selection of private and shared rooms designed with wide doorways, step-in showers, and reinforced grab bars; however, not every unit includes every feature. Residents may furnish and decorate their space to preference, and housekeeping and laundry are provided on a set schedule.
Meals are served three times daily in a common dining area, with snacks available between seatings. Menus are adjusted to align with medical directives, including carbohydrate-counted meals for diabetic residents and low-sodium or texture-modified selections as ordered. Not all dining preferences can be met in every meal service, so it is important for new residents to review specific diet needs with staff before move-in.
The property is fully wheelchair accessible, allowing residents to reach common areas, outdoor spaces, and their own rooms without barriers.
