Arcadia Residences, found at 4661 Princess Court Northeast in Salem, Oregon, takes in both male and female residents, and they'll let you bring along a pet if you've already got one or just want a pet while you're there, and you'll see that it's really LGBTQ friendly and welcomes folks from Providence Elder Place, too. The place lets people pay with Medicaid right away, Medicaid Spend Down, private pay, VA Contract, and Medicare, and they'll even take Spend Down and Medicaid residents, which you don't always find with other homes, and with a Class 2 adult care license, you'll see they've got five licensed beds with five bedrooms open right now, which means there's more space for new people to move in.
Arcadia Residences offers lots of care options from Adult Care Home, Assisted Living, Independent Living, Skilled Nursing Facility, Memory Care, Home Care, Home Health, and Hospice, and they make room for folks with Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, dementia, behavioral health needs, diabetes, mild cognitive trouble, cancer, paralysis, wounds, and even TBI-people who use oxygen, catheters, feeding tubes (PEG), or who need 2 Person Transfer, Hoyer Lift, or TPN, and those with tracheostomies or on ventilators. Residents who need help with bathing, transfer, dressing, medication or feeding-well, the staff will do all that, and they're there 24 hours a day with one to five caregivers per shift, including a care home owner or on-site manager who lives there, which is comforting for some families.
Rooms at Arcadia Residences come furnished, with choices between private or semi-private rooms, and there's both shared and private bathrooms, even wheelchair-accessible showers, heated floors, and safety rails, and if you want a hospital electric bed or just a regular bed, they can fix that up as well. The property itself is a private residential house with a fenced backyard-nice for a walk or just looking outside when the weather's good-and you've got both indoor and outdoor common areas, places to watch TV, use the WiFi, and even a dining room with meals that can be made for special diets like diabetes or allergies, so folks don't have to worry.
Staff at Arcadia speak English, Hungarian, Romanian, Spanish, Tagalog, and some others, so people from different backgrounds can feel a bit more at home. They're ready to help with everything from meal preparation and housekeeping-laundry, dry cleaning, bathing and grooming-and they run community activities like movie nights, outings, and trips to shopping or doctors' appointments, because you shouldn't feel stuck inside. The community keeps safety front and center with emergency alert systems, door alarms for residents who wander, and a 24-hour call system for quick help, even hearing assistive devices and supervised medication management.
Arcadia has a cognitive learning center for memory and engagement, and activity directors at bigger sister communities like Bonaventure, Redwood Heights, and Boone Ridge organize group activities for residents. You'll find the staff pays attention to special care for conditions like Parkinson's, stroke recovery, cancer, diabetes, and wounds, and people are allowed to stay in the facility to the end of life, so families aren't thrown off by sudden moves. Staff will help residents who have some trouble with mobility, and they accept people who use alcohol, though not recreational drugs. Folks living here get freedom to keep their routines but also have help as needs grow, with a focus on independence, purpose, and health in a pretty, homey place-there's even parking for those still driving, and the option to join in onsite or outside activities if they want.
