Senior Haven Care, operated by Carmen Pavel in Portland, OR, is licensed as a residential care home and is structured to handle medically complex needs. Skilled caregivers administer wound care, manage oxygen therapy, follow physician-ordered special diets, and monitor diabetic residents whether they use oral medications, daily injections, or require sliding-scale insulin adjustments. The team is also trained to support residents who live with moderate dementia, reinforcing routines and providing cues to maintain safety and orientation.
Clinical oversight continues around the clock with a nurse on call 24 hours and direct care staff present at all times. All employees are background-checked, and night-shift staff remain awake. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and on-site podiatry visits minimize the need for outside appointments. Transfer help ranges from walker standby to two-person or full Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound individuals. Door alarms, a fenced rear yard, and continuous security monitoring reduce wandering risk and provide quick emergency response.
Living spaces include furnished rooms, many with private bathrooms, cable hookups, and the option for residents to paint or add personal décor; not all accommodations have every feature, so families should confirm availability. Temperature controls and routine maintenance keep rooms comfortable and functional. Independent-living residents can receive medication-management monitoring, scheduled housekeeping, and weekly laundry service to support autonomy while maintaining safety.
Dining follows a made-to-order approach, and snacks are available throughout the day. Staff supervise or fully assist meals for anyone who needs help, tracking nutritional intake and hydration. Menus are reviewed to accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-directed dietary requirements, ensuring residents meet individual health goals.
Senior Haven Care offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, regular religious services, and scheduled transportation for medical visits, shopping, and outings, reducing dependence on outside arrangements.
