Tadu Adult Care Home, under the direction of Betty Mekonnen, RN, operates as a residential care home in Portland, Oregon that can manage a wide range of health conditions. The team is prepared to address behavioral challenges, advanced dementia, complex wound care, oxygen therapy, and special diet requirements. Residents younger than 60 are accepted, and the staff manages diabetes whether controlled by oral medication, insulin injections, or sliding-scale dosing.
A registered nurse is on-site around the clock, with additional RN/LPN coverage and an overnight staff member who remains on duty while asleep. Safety measures include a fenced rear area and a PERS alert system that immediately notifies staff of emergencies. The community provides full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and is equipped to support walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, one-person transfers, full transfers with a Hoyer lift, and bed-bound care.
Accommodation options vary and may include a private bathroom, furnished rooms, and the freedom to paint or decorate personal spaces. Cable television connections, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are available, although not every room offers every feature.
Dining services include a standard daily menu, made-to-order options, and all-day snacks. The kitchen can accommodate diet modifications such as gluten-free meals, mechanical-chopped or puréed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian choices, and other physician-ordered restrictions.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-friendly common spaces, internet service, and nearby public transportation, supporting ease of visits and community outings.
