Pacific Living Centers of Prineville is dedicated solely to memory care, serving residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, including advanced conditions. The care team is trained to address wandering behaviors at any hour, behavioral challenges, oxygen management, special diets, and diabetes controlled by oral medication. Programs are designed to reduce confusion and support cognitive health while maintaining safety for residents who may exhibit both daytime and nighttime wandering.
Clinical oversight includes an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees complete background checks, and night-shift staff remain awake. The building is secured around the clock, with alarmed doors to prevent unsafe exits. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from standby help to two-person and full Hoyer-lift transfers, including support for those who are bed bound, so mobility challenges can be managed without requiring a move.
Accommodations are arranged to be practical and easy to navigate, and each unit receives regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry service. Certain rooms may differ in layout or storage options, so prospective residents should confirm which features are present in the specific accommodation offered to them.
Meals are prepared on a set menu, with the option to order alternate selections at each sitting. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the culinary staff works with clinical teams to provide diet modifications or management plans that align with each resident’s medical needs and personal preferences.
The community is fully wheelchair accessible and offers internet access for residents and their visitors, allowing easy communication with family and access to online resources.
