Portland Innovative Senior Living, operated by Nurse Practitioner Amanda Shields, functions as a Residential Care Home designed for residents who need consistent medical attention. The team manages conditions that include combative or other behavioral issues, reversed sleep patterns, complex wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale insulin. Residents younger than 60 can be admitted, and the staff is trained to support advanced dementia.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site, an awake night‐shift team monitors the building, and pull-cord alerts connect residents to staff at any hour. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility help ranges from standby support with a walker to one- or two-person transfers, full Hoyer-lift transfers, and care for individuals who are bed-bound.
Private rooms are offered, some with en-suite bathrooms, furnishings, individual climate controls, and cable service, and residents are welcome to personalize their space with paint or décor; however, not every room includes every feature. Routine housekeeping keeps living areas orderly, and maintenance addresses requests quickly.
Meals are prepared on site with both a set menu and an on-order option at each seating. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen team follows physician-ordered diet modifications or special management plans for diabetes, heart health, or texture changes.
The building is fully wheelchair accessible and has community internet access. Scheduled transportation is available, and the property is situated close to public transit routes for residents who travel independently or for visiting family members.
