Young At Heart Care Home, owned and managed by Dora Pop in Portland, Oregon, operates as a residential care home with a focus on practical, day-to-day medical support. The team is experienced in wound care and can administer oxygen therapy as ordered. They routinely manage special diets and accommodate residents under 60 years old. Diabetes oversight includes residents on oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols, ensuring blood glucose levels are monitored and treatment plans adjusted promptly.
The home is equipped to care for residents with advanced dementia and uses an internal pull-cord system to alert staff when assistance is needed. Staff members provide hands-on help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting at a full-assistance level. Mobility support spans basic standby help to one- and two-person transfers, full transfer with a Hoyer lift, and care for those who are bed bound. Walkers and wheelchairs are handled routinely, allowing residents to move safely around the property.
Accommodations range from rooms with private bathrooms to standard rooms, and most come furnished with basic pieces. Cable service and regular housekeeping are available in many units, but not every accommodation includes all these features, so families should confirm specific room details during a tour. The environment is kept functional and uncluttered to help residents navigate easily.
Dining services balance convenience with health requirements. Residents can select from a daily set menu or request an on-order meal, and snacks are stocked throughout the day. In-room dining is offered for those who need or prefer it, and staff coordinate diet modifications—such as low-sodium, carbohydrate-controlled, or texture-adjusted plans—based on physician orders.
The premises are fully wheelchair accessible, and the location is close to public transportation, making visits and outings straightforward for residents and families.
