Oswego Cottage Adult Care

Oswego Cottage Adult Care sits in Lake Oswego, OR, and has been serving seniors for about twelve years, and you can tell by the way the place has a warm, soft feeling, with a French-country look and lots of flowers and trees all around, which helps make it feel like home, and what's more, they keep the place small, with room for ten or fewer residents, so folks get more attention. The owner, Melanie Barga, leads the home, and you'll find caregivers there who help with personal care, housekeeping, meals, and activities, and there's always something planned, whether inside or outside, along with group meals, devotional services, and visits from nurses, doctors, and even a podiatrist. People who need more help, like diabetic care, incontinence care, memory care, or high acuity needs can get it, and there's hospice and respite care if someone needs that for a short while. The board and care home welcomes both men and women, but it doesn't allow smoking inside, for anyone's health, and they let cats and dogs stay, as long as they meet the weight limit. The rooms can be shared or private, and all have wheelchair accessible showers to make things easier, and the staff provides ambulatory care, plus there's support for folks living with dementia or needing extra help with day-to-day tasks. You'll also find indoor and outdoor spaces so people can enjoy company or some fresh air. Beautician and barber services are available, and the monthly cost for a private room is around $3,000, which is pretty competitive for the area, and the home meets state requirements for safety and staff. The place is not BBB accredited and isn't big on a lot of buzz, but it does focus on a quiet, homelike setting for seniors needing supportive care in a residential care layout.
