Genuine Senior Living sits in Milwaukie, Oregon, and owner Michelle Bisorca runs it. This place works out of private houses, each with a home-like feel and rooms for about ten people or less, and folks here get different types of care, whether they need help every day, short stays for respite, or more advanced support like dementia, Alzheimer's, hospice, or long-term care. They call this Assisted Living or Board and Care, and in different states, some might call it Adult Foster Homes or Personal Care Homes, but the style's about small groups and lots of attention. Staff help with things like meals, taking medicine, personal care, and getting through the day, plus there's someone on hand all day and night if anyone needs something.
Residents can live in private rooms, and the community keeps things tidy with regular housekeeping and laundry. The house has different spots to gather, both inside lounges and outside patios-some rooms open up straight to a deck, and people can eat or do activities out there if they want. The dining area includes an antique piano that folks can play and listen to live music, which mixes things up a little bit from the usual routine. Food comes three times a day plus snacks, and the kitchen puts out vegan, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, sugar-free, low sodium, and organic options if someone needs them.
For activities, there's a book club, devotional gatherings, Bible study, and other group events, with a schedule that helps people keep busy or connect if they choose. The community keeps things wheelchair-friendly, with accessible showers and easy entry to the common spaces. Health care includes staff to help with medicine, personal needs, and difficult cases like incontinence or non-ambulatory care, and they can look after people with more complicated health needs, too. Staff helps with everything from basic cleaning to full 24-hour care, depending on what each resident needs or wants, and the contact page on the website makes it easy for people to ask questions or set up a time to see the place. A gallery of photos and an activities section help families and future residents get to know what goes on day-to-day, even without a ton of official details or long lists of amenities or features.
