Tabor Crest Memory Care in Portland, Oregon, is dedicated solely to memory care and is equipped to support residents through every stage of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. The clinical team can address common challenges such as wandering—whether it occurs in the morning or at night—elopement risk, behavioral changes, and residents who stay up through the night. Staff members are trained to manage wound care, administer oxygen, oversee special diets, and monitor diabetics who use oral medications. Every care plan is personalized and can be adjusted quickly as medical needs change.
Resident safety and day-to-day assistance are reinforced by an on-site RN or LPN, an awake night shift, and a fenced rear area that helps prevent unsupervised exits. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, ensuring that even residents with significant physical limitations receive consistent help. Transfer support ranges from simple standby or supervision for walker users to one-person transfers, wheelchair assistance, and service for bed-bound individuals. This layered approach allows the community to accept and safely care for residents with a wide range of mobility and medical requirements.
Private and companion suites are available, and residents may paint or otherwise personalize their rooms, though not every unit includes every customization option. Common areas are laid out for easy navigation with secure access points designed for memory care needs. Families can review floor plans during tours to confirm which features are included in each accommodation type.
Dining services emphasize nutrition management as part of the overall care plan. The culinary team prepares regular, vegetarian, and texture-modified meals, including pureed dishes and thickened liquids, in coordination with clinical staff. Menus can be altered to meet physician-ordered diets, and glucose-controlled selections are offered for residents managing diabetes with oral medications.
