Elite Care at Fanno Creek sits in Tigard, Oregon, surrounded by peaceful gardens, wetlands, Fanno Creek, and walking paths, with craftsman-style homes that make the place feel friendly and calm, and what really stands out is the way the open kitchens become the heart of each home, letting residents enjoy chef-prepared meals with choices like international cuisine, vegan, gluten-free, and more, and there's even space for residents to grow vegetables and fruit in the community gardens, pick what they want, and spend time outdoors if they feel like it. The community accepts seniors who need different kinds of help, like those living with Alzheimer's, dementia, diabetes, incontinence, and even some behavioral needs, and there's a secured memory care building, where technology like safety bracelets helps stop wandering, and nurses and staff are present around the clock, and people can keep their dog or cat right with them, so pets stay part of daily life. Private suites come with a bedroom and bathroom, big windows for natural light, living rooms, and large, accessible bathrooms, with pocket doors to help with safety, and there are options for couples to stay together even if one needs more care than the other, which is quite rare, plus they don't use hallways of rooms but arrange living spaces more like a family home with large common areas for people to visit, play games, or have fireside talks in the old barn.
Daily life has a good mix of activities, and some folks go for Tai Chi, stretching, art, wine tastings, or even community service trips, while others might just sit in the garden or chat in the kitchen, and professional chefs take care of the cooking, so meals feel home-cooked, and everyone eats together, making it easier to build strong friendships. For those who need medicine or extra help with mobility, staff and nurses handle things like reminders, diabetic care, even injections and mechanical lifts, and they keep all the records and check in with families using phone, text, newsletters, or email, whatever works best, and a resident board helps guide how things run day-to-day, so people feel they're shaping their own community. Elite Care at Fanno Creek has about 30 beds, and the staff have above-average staffing ratios, which means more help is available when needed, and with a lot of thoughtful touches-like wide walking paths, accessible design, and Wi-Fi everywhere-people keep as much independence as possible, but always with help close by.
Special services let seniors keep up with hobbies, spend time with pets, or go for group outings, plus home care options for those who prefer their own place, and independent living on campus for healthy, active people who just want less hassle with chores, all shaped by a focus on relationships and holistic wellness. There's a memory care program in a secured building, and whether someone just needs light help or heavy support with daily living, the care is personalized and gentle, letting them have a routine, join meaningful activities, and always feel safe and known. The campus has transportation options and parking, open gardens, koi ponds, Wi-Fi, and extra conveniences like onsite haircuts, and there's always a nurse or doctor on call. The environment feels more like a small, close-knit neighborhood than a facility, letting residents and their pets enjoy both quiet times and a variety of activities, and there's an ongoing effort to keep families and residents informed and involved as needs change.
