Oregon Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care - Services

What exactly is a memory care community? The facilities often represent one-part retirement living and one-part skilled nursing care. While Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia may require different care and treatment than what a senior will receive in a nursing home, there are several parallels between the two forms of elderly care including 24-hour monitoring and medication management.

However, the dementia care homes also serve as a permanent new residence for family members that are provided with their own private room, comfortable bed, private oversized bathroom and space that is furnished, but also allows families to bring in some items from the previous home.

In addition to the private portion of the resident, dementia care facilities in Oregon also feature a commons area where a number of group activities take place such as community events and leisure games or activities, as well as the day-use area where the TV is located. The kitchen that preps and serves the daily meals is usually commercial-grade standard and serves up a number of gourmet dishes. The cafeteria seating area provides a space where residents can interact, and some even feature a private seating area for residents that have guests visit and eat with them for a meal.

Oregon Alzheimer’s care facilities are cities in their own right, capable of housing and feeding elderly residents as well as providing a number of different amenities and services. The staff that works at the communities are also top notch, always acting professional and treating residents with the utmost for respect and dignity.
