Care Solutions is eager to provide Portland families with the support they need when they have a family member that needs help. Finding assisted living communities or places that help you care for a family member in need can be very difficult, especially on your own. Care Solutions is a resource for Portland families. We can inform you of the types of care available in your area. Additionally, we work diligently to help you find the right care solution for your family.
What Are The Types Of Communities And Assisted Living Options In Portland?
For families who need a permanent placement for their senior loved one, the best option is to choose among the local senior care communities. There are different types of communities that cater to different needs. During our senior placement process, Care Solutions will evaluate the unique needs of your family member and help you choose which type of community would best suit them.
Some of the types of senior living communities available in the Portland area include:
Assisted Living Communities
Assisted Living Communities welcome seniors and their furry companions, and offer private apartments within a secure community. Portland’s Assisted Living Communities are a great fit for seniors who can live independently but may benefit from assistance with ADL’s. With a balance of senior care and independence, your loved one can flourish and live well. Learn more about Assisted Living Communities here.
Memory Care/ Dementia Care
As the name suggests, these types of communities work best for those suffering from Dementia or Alzheimer’s. Your family member will have the choice of a private or semi-private suite. Memory care communities provide essential care while still allowing the resident to remain as independent as they are safely able to enjoy. Learn more about Memory Care here.
Residential Care Facility
This is another option that offers either private or semi-private suites within a secure community. A Residential Care Facility best serves loved ones who may have higher care needs such as 1-2 person transfers, Hoyer lifts, Sara lift, fall risk management, full incontinence, wound care, colostomy bags, catheters, and feeding tubes. Residential Care Facilities provide meals and activities in a more structured environment than an assisted living community.
You may find yourself wondering about what you should seek out if you need a less permanent placement for your family member. Many families have loved ones who simply need a little extra attention and help throughout the day when their families are tending to other obligations such as work and school. Portland offers a solution for this need as well.
