Chantele's Loving Touch sits in Sutherlin, Oregon, and it's a purpose-built, free-standing memory care community with forty-five beds, all focused on helping seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Residents can pick a studio or semi-private room, and all bedrooms and bathrooms are handicap-accessible, with wheelchair accessible showers and nurse call systems for safety, plus emergency security features that notify staff if someone tries to wander to an unsafe spot. The property is fenced and has a garden, covered porch, and outdoor seating so folks can relax outside, but the whole layout and security system-with things like electronic bracelets and a computerized wander alert system-are made to let people stay as safe as possible even if they're likely to wander or get confused, and there's special support and staff for residents who might get physically aggressive or act out, including behavioral care services, handles for exit-seeking, and staff trained in managing aggression.
Chantele's Loving Touch can handle one-person and two-person transfers, and mechanical lifts are available for residents with higher mobility needs, plus there's help for everyday routines, housekeeping, linen changes, and laundry. Full meal service comes with family-style dining in a shared room, covering vegetarian options and special diets, and snacks are included too. Folks have access to onsite and offsite activities tailored for those with memory loss, along with outdoor and indoor common areas to visit with others, and you'll find an onsite beautician and scheduled transportation if residents need to go out, though there may be an extra charge for rides.
Daily support includes incontinence care, medication help-including insulin injections and sliding scale therapy-and support for people who need diabetic care but want to monitor their own blood sugar, since staff can check sugar levels but only give insulin shots as specified. The place's got services for respite stays, hospice care, and a nurse on staff with a doctor on call, while health and social service professionals can help as needed, so people don't have to move as their care needs change. Staffed 24 hours a day by trained caregivers, Chantele's Loving Touch does what it can to keep everyone's safety, dignity, and comfort as top priorities in a secure, homelike setting made for elders who live with memory impairments.
