Our House Portage is an assisted-living residence designed for seniors who need daily help but do not require nursing-home care. The community is prepared to manage residents who use oxygen, follow physician-ordered special diets, or take oral medications for diabetes. Care teams have experience supporting mild dementia, allowing residents with early memory concerns to remain in a familiar setting. A nurse is on call around the clock, and staff members can be reached quickly through in-room pull cords or personal emergency response systems.

Additional clinical support includes on-site podiatry visits, routine background-checked caregivers on every shift, and awake staff overnight. The team can provide full assistance with bathing and dressing, some physical help with toileting, and standby supervision at mealtimes for residents who only need prompts to eat. Mobility services accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, one-person transfers, or simple standby oversight, helping residents maintain as much independence as possible while staying safe.

Apartments vary in layout, but many offer private bathrooms, a kitchenette for light meal preparation, individual temperature controls, and cable service. Because floor plans differ, residents should verify which of these features are present in the specific unit they are considering.

Meals are served three times a day from either a set menu or made-to-order selections, with snacks available between meals. The kitchen can adjust recipes to accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications, aligning with the community’s overall approach to medical nutrition management.

Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, and community-wide internet service, adding practical conveniences to daily living at Our House Portage.
