Providence Portland Medical Center provides assisted-living support for older adults who can no longer live safely at home but do not need a skilled nursing level of care. The team focuses on helping residents with activities of daily living, and the community does not market a separate memory-care or dementia program. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and staff members are trained to adapt these services to each resident’s care plan.
A nurse is on call 24 hours a day to address urgent health questions or coordinate outside medical services. All employees undergo background checks before working with residents, and every apartment is equipped with an in-room pull-cord system that alerts staff if help is needed. For residents who use mobility devices, caregivers can provide transfer support with a walker.
Apartments include studio and one-bedroom layouts with private bathrooms, emergency call systems, and step-in showers. Some units offer additional features such as kitchenettes or patio space, but these options are not present in every accommodation, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals are prepared daily and served restaurant-style in the main dining room, with menu choices that accommodate common dietary restrictions. Residents who need assistance eating receive help from staff at each meal. While some apartments have kitchenettes for light snack preparation, not all units include this feature.
Common areas, corridors, and exterior entrances are wheelchair accessible, allowing residents who use mobility devices to move safely throughout the campus and participate in on-site activities.
