Filimon Adult Care Home

Filimon Adult Care Home sits in SE Portland at 1000 SE 130th Ave and serves adults who need extra help in a home setting, so those living here get assisted living and board and care services, and there's also respite care for those who need temporary support, and even though the place only has five licensed beds, each resident gets either a private or shared bathroom with four rooms having full baths, and the whole setup feels pretty homey with a fenced yard, lots of fruit to pick in the backyard, a walkway, and a gazebo where folks can sit if they like, and you'll see staff who've worked with people with mental illness, diabetes, and many other health conditions for over 18 years which helps a lot since some folks may have needs like cognitive support, blood sugar checks, insulin shots, wound care, tube feedings, or help after surgery. The caregiving team is a husband and wife duo who also speak Romanian, and this isn't a big facility, so there's no 24-hour awake staff, but you'll find alarms on doors for safety, and residents get support for things like walking, gardening, or even trips out to places like mountains or the ocean if they want, and this is a Class 2 (Level II) adult foster care home, so staff can assist with moderate care including transfers for folks who use manual wheelchairs, though they don't support power scooters or allow pets or alcohol. Residents may smoke but not use medical marijuana, and there's lots of experience with a range of conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, mental health concerns, and some chronic diseases, and the team works pretty well with people needing night care, incontinence support, and even some wandering or behavioral help, but they don't handle aggressive behavior, stoma care, or catheter support, and there's no lift van for transport, but the rooms and floors let folks with wheelchairs move around without much trouble. Filimon Adult Care Home accepts Medicaid and private payments, handles emergencies or short-term respite stays, and has served both younger and older adults, though there's no specific focus on LGBT residents, and the staff puts a lot of value in helping people live safely and comfortably, without fuss or frills, so every day feels steady and familiar since John Filimon's owned the home since October 25, 2007, and it's kind of designed for people who want care and help but also want to feel like they live in a real house, not in some huge institution.
