Affinity Elder Care Home, overseen by Erica Muresan, RN, operates as a residential care home in Portland, Oregon. The community is equipped to manage residents who wander during the day or night, show combative or other challenging behaviors, live with advanced dementia, require wound care, oxygen therapy, or special diets, and those under 60 who need a supportive setting. Diabetes management is available for residents on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens. Medical oversight extends to regular monitoring, medication administration, and coordination with outside providers when acute episodes arise.
The clinical team includes a registered nurse on site and licensed nurses on call 24/7. All staff undergo background checks, and an overnight shift remains on duty while residents sleep. Each apartment is fitted with a pull-cord alert system that links directly to caregivers. Full assistance is offered with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the home can accommodate a range of transfer needs—from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, though not every unit contains all offered features. Some rooms come fully furnished, and residents may paint or decorate to their preference. Cable television, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are provided where available.
Meals can be ordered from a set menu or on demand, and snacks are kept on hand throughout the day. Dietary accommodations include low-sugar, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid options. In-room dining is available when a resident’s medical condition or personal preference requires it, with staff handling all diet modifications as prescribed.
The property is wheelchair-accessible, has community-wide internet access, and is located near public transportation for convenient visits and outings.
