Casa Shattuck Senior Care sits in a quiet Portland, Oregon neighborhood and has been a licensed adult foster home through Multnomah County since 2017, run by Purple Door, LLC, and managed by Aura Circota, who's known for being kind, compassionate, and detail-oriented, and you know the home itself has space for ten or fewer residents, each one getting a private, comfortable room with air-conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms with wheelchair-accessible showers, plus there's always plenty of natural light and open, inviting living areas where you might find folks gathered for a conversation or taking part in one of the daily activities.
Residents get assisted living services, so staff help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, medication, and meal preparation, and the staff all cross-train so every resident has a familiar face checking in on them throughout the day-and if your loved one deals with diabetes, high acuity health issues, incontinence concerns, or needs help managing medicine, the skilled nurses handle that too, plus, meals account for dietary needs with options like gluten-free, low or no sodium, and no sugar, and for folks with greater needs, there's board and care, memory care, skilled nursing, and independent living services with care plans tailored to the resident.
The team, a small and dedicated group of two to ten employees, strives to make the place feel like home, and they keep the environment focused on love, dignity, and respect, which you see in the way residents get homemade meals, daily housekeeping and laundry, round-the-clock care, and transportation for outings or appointments, and even temporary respite stays if primary caregivers need a break. There's no smoking indoors, but pets are allowed, which brings some joy for animal lovers, and every holiday, you can expect a party or maybe a live music event in the bright courtyard or one of the spacious indoor areas where gatherings happen-BBQs, picnics, an annual community Christmas party, and regular games or brain-stimulating activities that help everyone stay active and make friends.
Casa Shattuck Senior Care encourages connections-there's a full activities calendar and organized events, and if residents want to stay connected with friends or family, they have Wi-Fi and easy access to platforms like Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram as part of the Meta ecosystem, and the staff support residents' mental and social health by keeping them engaged. All services, from meal prep to medical care and transportation, aim to help each resident keep leading the life they want with as much independence as possible.
