Parkview Christian Retirement Community in Portland, Oregon, offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, with an emphasis on maintaining health stability for residents who need varying levels of oversight. The nursing team is prepared to manage residents who wander during either the day or night, cope with behavioral issues, or remain awake through nighttime hours. Clinical support extends to wound care, oxygen use, special diets, younger residents under age 60, and a full spectrum of diabetic care that includes oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols. Staff are experienced in supporting residents with moderate dementia and coordinate closely with family members and outside providers to keep care plans current.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. An awake night shift complements an additional asleep night-shift attendant, ensuring continual monitoring. Emergency pull cords in resident rooms connect directly to staff, while door alarms and WanderGuard systems add another layer of safety. A dedicated Activity Director oversees daily engagement, and 24-hour security personnel remain on site. On-site podiatry visits are scheduled regularly to help manage foot health. Residents who need help with daily tasks can receive full assistance for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to one-person transfers and covers walker and wheelchair users.
Living options include apartments that may feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, cable access, and the freedom to paint or decorate to personal taste; however, not every unit offers each feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability when touring. Floor plans are designed to accommodate both those who prefer independent living and those who require closer support, giving families a range of layouts and price points.
Meals are prepared to order three times a day, with snacks available between seatings, and the culinary team can adjust textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diet modifications. Independent Living residents can opt for a monthly meal plan if they do not wish to cook every day. They may also arrange medication-management monitoring, routine housekeeping, and weekly laundry service, allowing them to keep autonomy while staying connected to a safety net of health-related services.
Amenities include resident parking, exterior smoking areas, and a fully wheelchair-accessible campus. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, high-speed internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services provide daily convenience. Scheduled transportation, proximity to public transit, and outdoor walking paths make getting around straightforward. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
