Somerset Assisted Living sits at 8360 Cason Rd in Gladstone, Oregon, offering a place for seniors who need some help but want to live as independently as possible, and people can pick from studio or one-bedroom apartments in a two-story building, with spaces from 359 to 665 square feet and over 20 floor plan varieties so folks have some choice about what feels right for them, and the light and bright rooms are easy to personalize with their own things, which can help a person feel a bit more at home. The facility has 86 beds and focuses on assisted living by providing support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and managing medication, including diabetic care-all managed by a full-time RN, Medication Assistants, and Resident Assistants who work around the clock if someone needs help day or night, and there's a live-in management team and emergency pull cords in case anything urgent comes up, so there's always someone nearby.
Housekeeping and linen services happen weekly, and there's laundry care to keep things comfortable, while transportation is available for errands, medical visits, or outings, which makes it easier for residents who can't or don't want to drive themselves anymore. Meals are a big part of life here since folks get three chef-prepared meals every day, cooked from scratch with menus that can change based on everyone's tastes and nutritional needs, while residents can also grab anytime snacks between meals. The dining room acts as a social center where people chat and connect, and there's even the option to reserve a family dining room for special times when loved ones visit.
Somerset Assisted Living organizes a lot of events and activities, aiming to keep everyone social, active, and mentally sharp, with things like creative writing classes, book clubs, garden club, discussion groups, art projects, cooking demos, and cultural outings, plus fitness classes, wellness fairs, guest lectures, and holiday celebrations, always with room for new ideas and activities based on what the residents say they'd enjoy. The activities program is pretty diverse and shaped by resident preferences, so there's usually something for most folks, whether they like to learn, practice mindfulness, or just have fun in a group.
There's support for health needs too, including help for people who have trouble getting around, need reminders or supervision with medicine, or live with chronic conditions like diabetes or incontinence, and with access to health care staff at all hours, residents and their families can get some peace of mind. The building itself, while nothing fancy, sets up for safety and comfort, with the apartments carefully designed to make moving around easy. For families needing a short-term spot for a parent or loved one, Somerset does offer respite stays, and they offer independent living options when a person can still do most things on their own, as well as memory care-using a person-centered approach-to provide extra safety and support for people living with memory problems like dementia or Alzheimer's.
The community aims to help people feel connected and cared for, with staff available at any time if someone needs something, and services and amenities meant to make life a little easier as folks age, whether it's through help with daily activities, getting rides to appointments, eating a good meal, or taking part in a favorite activity. Somerset Assisted Living focuses more on the day-to-day comforts, the safety, and the regular, friendly support that many seniors might look for in a place to live at this point in life.
