BeeHive Homes of Oregon 1 is a small residential-style senior living home with a circular floor plan and short hallways that help residents move around easily, which is especially helpful for people with memory problems like Alzheimer's and dementia, so you'll find that the setting feels more like a real home than a big facility, with just 16 units that keep things cozy and personal, and they even have private and couples rooms with ADA showers so bathing is easier. The staff at BeeHive Homes offers several types of care, like assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite care, making sure to help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and they have a registered nurse who's on site every day while a consulting nurse is always available, even though there's no full-time nurse staff, and if needed, they bring in home health services for extra medical care. Caregivers speak English, and they understand how everyone is different, so they work with residents and families to make care plans that cover health, safety, and social needs, always keeping comfort and dignity in mind, and they adjust things with ongoing assessments and regular check-ins.
The community encourages a family-like feeling, with friendly staff, well-kept surroundings, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, making it easy for residents to feel like they belong, and you'll see everyone gathering in the central kitchen or bright dining room, or spending time in the common areas and central living room, or maybe enjoying fresh air out on the front porch, backyard patio, or the elevated gardens. Home-cooked meals are served every day, following a dietitian's guidelines, and special meals are available for folks with allergies or diabetes, plus snacks and all-day dining if needed, and the activities program is strong, with daily events, movie nights, social outings on a passenger bus, gardening, and even some pampering at the onsite hair and nail salon. Residents have access to amenities like telephone, cable TV, public Wi-Fi, two double rooms with private bathrooms, 13 single rooms with shared bathrooms, laundry and housekeeping services, transportation, parking, and an outdoor courtyard that's safe and secure.
BeeHive's memory care program offers extra support in a supervised environment, helping those with dementia to stay engaged and comfortable, and the care team works closely with physicians, hospice, and families to make sure everyone's needs are met, including coping with mild cognitive problems. Housekeeping and move-in coordination are provided, and there's always help with chores, bathing, dressing, transfers, or just a little company for those who want it, with care levels and pricing based on each person's physical and mental abilities. There's a focus on keeping life simple and enjoyable, and the goal is to help residents keep their independence as much as possible with the right amount of help, whether it's through medication support, exercise, games, outings for coffee, or sitting on the porch visiting with friends.
BeeHive Homes of Oregon 1 stands near key places like UW Health Fitchburg Clinic and Walgreens, and it's close to restaurants, coffee shops, and parks, so it works well for folks who still like to get out on occasion, and family are always welcome with flexible visiting hours that help everyone stay connected. The facility isn't part of the Elderwerks network, but it does have a lived-in, welcoming feel, and services aimed at making daily life safe, supported, and fulfilling for seniors who value dignity and companionship.
