Catherine House of Care sits on Dogwood Street in Cornelius, right near Farmington Road in Beaverton, and has spent 21 years helping frail, elderly, and mentally ill adults live well. This place is a Board and Care Home, licensed by Washington County, offering an assisted living environment in a shared neighborhood house with live-in caregivers, and folks here get help with daily things like grooming, medication, cooking, and cleaning, so nobody worries if they need some extra hands. The staff, who are known for being friendly and truly caring, work hard to keep everyone comfortable and safe, especially for those who need memory care since they have special programs to prevent confusion and wandering for seniors with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, and the whole community feels family-friendly with regular activities planned to keep residents active and connected.
Everybody gets room options because there are one-bedroom spaces starting at $5,500 a month and two-bedrooms beginning at $11,000, and there are meal services and typical room comforts to make life easier, as well as easy access to two hospitals, 10 doctors, and five pharmacies nearby for appointments and medicines. Catherine House of Care gives access to transportation, so getting around isn't a problem, and there's even parking for visitors and residents. For folks who like to get out, there are two local theaters-Regal Evergreen Parkway & RPX and Century Theater Cedarhill-in case anyone wants to watch a movie, along with parks like Orenco Woods and Butternut Creek for a bit of fresh air or a stroll, and you've got a couple of restaurants and a friendly cafe around the corner for a meal or a coffee. Everything here centers on helping seniors with medical and personal care, and the staff use unique names for program areas and services, which makes it different from other group homes. Residents, both private pay and Medicaid eligible, rate Catherine House of Care highly, as all reviews so far have given it five stars and it carries a review score of 9.0, but none of the folks around would say life here's perfect since no place is, yet most seem comfortable, helped, and settled in their routines.
