Roxy Ann Memory Community sits right in a residential neighborhood with a purpose-built 10,000 square foot building that holds space for just sixteen residents, all in memory care beds, making it feel like a close-knit place where people know each other and you see the same friendly faces every day, and the home-like environment comes through with furnished private and semi-private rooms, a big family room with a large television, a spacious dining area, and outdoor walking paths and gardens where you see companion animals and sometimes even kids visiting, which makes things feel warmer, and you can always find someone around since staff are present 24/7, tending to both the big needs and the small details like laundry, dry cleaning, and regular housekeeping, so residents stay comfortable and clean, and everyone gets help with dressing, bathing, medicine, transfers, and meals, which are made by a skilled chef and served in a way that makes mealtimes welcoming for families too, making sure that those with special diets like allergies or diabetes get meals that work for them.
Roxy Ann Memory Community sets a focus on care for people with Alzheimer's and other dementias, sticking closely to the Eden Alternative philosophy, which basically means they encourage socializing, activity, and a sense of purpose, so you often see a lively activity program going on, including arts and crafts, music, movie nights, physical exercise, outings for ice cream, and visits from friendly dogs and cats, all designed to help people feel engaged and cut down on loneliness or boredom, and even during quieter times, staff make sure everyone feels safe, listened to, and respected, because the goal is to treat every resident with dignity.
The staff is well-trained in memory care and keeps a three-to-four caregiver-to-resident ratio during most active shifts, so everyone gets plenty of attention, and there's ongoing supervision and support day and night, all in a secure but still homey environment, with emergency alert systems and wheelchair access-plus transportation, parking, and care coordination are handled, and there's always someone available to help with even the little things. Every room has a telephone, so families can stay in touch, and you'll see a strong effort to keep family connected and in the loop, with good communication and support, even when it's a difficult time.
Recognized as the only certified Eden Alternative memory care community in Oregon and holding the Alzheimer's Endorsed Memory Community designation, Roxy Ann Memory Community keeps its focus on personalized care, supporting residents as they hold onto memories from their past and find enjoyment each day, and the reviews mention the care and compassion felt by both residents and their families. This community's size, active programs, and the philosophy of well-being for every person shows in the way everyday life is handled, with regular outings, inclusive social events, and spaces inside and out that make it easy for residents to feel at home and safe.
