Happy Valley Graceful Living sits at 13293 SE Ridgecrest Road in Happy Valley, Oregon, and runs around the clock every day of the year, offering care for adults who need some help with daily life, and it's been open for about 14 years now, with Ms. Dina Shtirbu handling the business side of things. The facility operates as a Class 3 licensed adult foster care home, and it only takes private pay, with beds for up to 5 residents at a time, so things stay pretty quiet and personal, letting residents have more attention and privacy than you'd find in a large building. Residents won't see any vaping, CBD oil, alcohol, recreational drugs, or pets, since the house doesn't allow any of those, and current residents don't have any animals either, so folks who have allergies or worries about animals can have some peace of mind there. The atmosphere is LGBTQ friendly and respectful, and family members find that staff work to keep everyone treated kindly.
This place offers all phases of adult assisted care, from those who need a little help now and then with meals or medicine, to folks who need round-the-clock support, wound care, help with diabetes or Parkinson's, oxygen care, paralysis care, stroke recovery, mental health help, and even more specialized things like catheter care, cancer care, care for dementia, Alzheimer's, hospice, and residents using feeding tubes or colostomy bags aren't turned away. Respite care is available for those who need a short stay. The building has safety features like a call button alarm system on the door for residents who wander and is built for wheelchair access, with wheelchair-friendly showers and other handicap-friendly touches.
Personal care help like bathing, dressing, and getting around is provided, and there are personal care assistants on hand, with caregivers working in the home 24/7, managing medicines, helping with feeding, and handling all sorts of housekeeping tasks, laundry, and basic home upkeep. Meals are cooked with quality ingredients and served in a group setting, with kosher and vegetarian options, and residents can use the kitchenettes too if they'd like. The house also has indoor and outdoor common areas, a TV in the main room, WiFi, cable TV, washers and dryers, and guest parking. Social activities are offered, along with arts and crafts, educational programs, group meals, games, and chances to get together in the game room or fitness center, with a salon and barbershop available too. There are staff who help with transportation for appointments and errands when needed. Staff and management work to connect families with support, referrals, and their wider network for care options in the region.
With a stable business history, a record of meeting Oregon's licensing, bonding, and registration standards, and an A+ rating with the BBB, Happy Valley Graceful Living has a comfortable, home-like setting that's peaceful and focused on resident safety. The care is structured and professional, and a lot of families find comfort knowing there's always someone in the house who can help at any hour, day or night. The home stays near medical facilities, and residents can expect both privacy in their rooms and chances to join group activities if they feel up to it. This facility doesn't offer pet companionship, but does offer a supportive space for adults needing varying degrees of care, including memory care and hospice care, and works with families to find options that fit their needs when change or transition is needed.
