Marie Rose Center Assisted Living sits on a big 40-acre site in Lake Oswego, Oregon, where you'll find rose gardens and apple trees and nice walking paths that wind through the grounds, and over here, they have one-bedroom apartments as well as larger homes, although the one-bedrooms do fill up pretty quick, so you'd want to check on availability for a fall move-in, and everything's on the same campus with lots of care options all in one place, which they call a Life Plan Community, so you can get independent living, assisted living, residential care, and memory care all together, and it's part of Mary's Woods and the Marie Rose neighborhood, which makes it easy for folks to move between care types without having to leave the campus, and this is a nonprofit group, so they focus on long-term care and being a community.
There are 73 beds total, with 23 in secure memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or other dementia, and the staff provide help with daily things like bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers for anyone who's non-ambulatory or uses a wheelchair, plus you'll find a Community Navigator, whose job is to support families and residents and guide them as their care needs change, making transitions a bit smoother, and there are trained caregivers and nurses available at all times for both regular residents and those needing 24/7 nursing. The building's set up so residents can enjoy privacy with furnished rooms, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning.
Dining is a big part of the place, with a dining room, restaurant-style meals, special menus for allergies or dietary needs, a chef preparing meals all day, and even meal delivery if you're not up for eating in the dining room, and there's a wide range of things to do, including a library, game room, movie nights, an arts and crafts room, music happenings, a fitness room, and lots of outdoor common space, so there's something for folks to be social or relax. The campus has a village square area, where you don't have to go off-site for basics like primary care, dental work, rehab, or even getting your eyes checked, plus they bring in outside providers for things like home help, therapy, hearing aids, and foot care right on campus.
Safety's covered with emergency alert systems and a 24-hour call system, and there's help with housekeeping, laundry, and moving in if needed, and parking and transportation are on hand too, so getting around is easier for residents and visitors. Activities run daily and can be both organized by the staff or led by residents themselves, which adds to that community feeling, and you can always pick up a campus map to help get your bearings, since the grounds are big and well-kept with scenic spaces to walk or sit and enjoy the view.
Marie Rose Center Assisted Living is reviewed by the Oregon Department of Human Services and has complaint data available from 2005 to early 2018, with rankings that look at rates of complaints per bed, which you can find if you want to look deeper into that part of things, and it's a member of the Oregon Health Care Association. This place has a focus on caring for seniors who need more support but also want to stay active and connected with others in a safe, well-tended environment. Tours of the community can be arranged for those who'd like to visit, see the facilities, and meet the staff and residents before making any decisions.
