A Place To Call Home, overseen by Gina Roberts, RN, operates as a residential care home in Tigard, Oregon. The community is set up to manage a broad range of medical needs, including wound care, oxygen administration, and specialized diets. Comprehensive diabetic support covers residents on oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale regimens. Staff members are trained to work with individuals living with advanced dementia, adjusting routines and monitoring to match changing cognitive and physical needs.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse available on call around the clock. Caregivers remain on site 24 hours a day, and a dedicated night shift monitors residents while they sleep. A fenced rear area, security staff, and PERS alert systems contribute to resident safety. Residents who require help with personal care can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from simple standby help for walker users to one- or two-person transfers, full Hoyer lift transfers, and bed-bound care, ensuring that each resident’s changing physical status can be met without relocation.
Accommodations include rooms with private bathrooms, cable access, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry service; availability of specific features varies by unit, so families should verify details during a tour. Rooms are arranged to accommodate both ambulatory residents and those who use mobility devices, and environmental controls can be adjusted to individual comfort preferences.
Meals follow a set menu, and the kitchen can modify textures to mechanical chop, puree, or thickened liquids as needed. Vegetarian options are available, and clinicians oversee diet management for residents on special therapeutic plans, including controlled carbohydrates and low-sodium selections. Snacks are offered between meals, and in-room dining is available for residents who are recovering from illness or prefer the privacy of their apartment.
The building is wheelchair accessible and offers community-wide internet access. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and local outings, and the site is close to public transportation for residents or visitors who prefer that option.
