Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland, OR, combines Assisted Living, Residential Care Home services, and dedicated Memory Care within one campus. This range of care lets the community support residents who are aging in place as well as adults under 60 who need long-term support. The Memory Care wing is organized for early to advanced dementia, using secured areas and routine-based programming to reduce confusion and wandering. On-site clinical staff coordinate with physicians to handle chronic conditions, medication management, and rehabilitation needs, allowing residents to receive most of their health services without leaving the property.

Daily hands-on support is available for every major activity of daily living. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and are trained in both two-person transfers and mechanical lifts for residents who cannot bear weight. Regular nursing oversight tracks vitals, skin integrity, and changes in cognitive status, enabling timely interventions. Therapy partners are on call for physical, occupational, and speech therapies, while a 24-hour emergency response system connects residents to clinical staff at any time.

Accommodations range from private studios to shared suites, each with individual climate controls and accessible bathrooms; some units also include small kitchenettes and in-room emergency call buttons. Wider doorways, grab bars, and step-free showers are standard in most layouts, but not every apartment contains every feature, so prospective residents should review specific units during a tour. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are performed on a set schedule, and residents may furnish their own living spaces to create a familiar environment.

Dining services provide three meals a day plus snacks, prepared under dietitian guidance to meet regular, diabetic, low-sodium, and mechanical-soft diet orders. Menus rotate every four weeks and offer alternate entrées at each meal; residents can choose to eat in the main dining room or request tray service in their apartments when medically necessary. Staff monitor food and fluid intake for residents who need help maintaining weight or hydration, and mealtime assistance is available for those with dysphagia or limited fine-motor control.
