Summer Lake Senior Care, Kidist Stusser in Tigard, Oregon operates as a residential care home designed to handle a broad spectrum of medical needs. The team provides wound care management, administers oxygen therapy, and closely follows physician-ordered special diets. Residents younger than 60 can be accepted when medically appropriate, and the staff supports diabetics whether they require oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale dosing. Caregivers are also trained to work with residents who have advanced dementia conditions, ensuring continuity of supervision and treatment across changing cognitive and physical needs.
Around-the-clock staffing includes an awake night-shift presence, and the rear grounds are fenced for added safety. Direct care services cover full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting for those who need it. Transfer help ranges from simple standby support for walker users to one-person and two-person transfers, full Hoyer lift transfers, and bed-bound repositioning, allowing residents to remain at the community even as mobility declines.
Private and semiprivate rooms are available, and many come furnished and equipped with cable service, although not every accommodation has the same features. Families can discuss room setups and bring personal items to create a comfortable environment that aligns with individual preferences.
Dining follows a set menu each day, but the kitchen can switch to on-order plates when residents prefer alternatives or require specific diet modifications. Snacks are available between meals, and staff monitor intake for those with medically prescribed restrictions such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified diets.
The community is wheelchair accessible throughout and located near public transportation, making visits and off-site appointments easier for residents and families alike.
