Home Sweet Home Adult Care sits in a quiet residential area in Milwaukie, OR, and has the gentle feel of a home where a small group lives together, since these private houses usually have ten or fewer beds, and the setting stays calm and easy for people to navigate. Purple Door, LLC manages the property, and Ivona, the owner, is known for being caring and thoughtful, while Jodi, a part-time caregiver, brings her experience as a former nurse right into her daily work. Residents here get three home-cooked meals every day plus snacks, and if someone has special diet needs like diabetic or low sodium foods, the kitchen can prepare those as well. Residents can bring their pets, which is nice for those who like animal companionship, and men are welcome, though it's mainly for women. The home is described as spotless and beautiful, with both indoor and outdoor common spaces, including a comfortable TV area, a community dining room, and plenty of places to relax.
Staff help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, preparing food, and housekeeping, and nurses check in throughout the day while a doctor stays on call if there's ever more serious medical support needed. The care team offers help managing money, picking up dry cleaning, and personal care, which some folks find really useful as time goes on. Home Sweet Home also focuses on therapy needs by offering occupation, physical, and speech therapy, and a podiatrist keeps an eye on residents' foot health. Residents can get dentist, vision, and hearing care right through the home's network, and a beauty and barber shop on-site means haircuts and grooming happen without leaving the house. Safety and accessibility get lots of attention, with central air, smoke alarms, handicap features, and wheelchair accessible showers for those who need them.
The community makes sure residents with memory issues, like Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, feel calm and safe, and staff know how to help with the moods and behaviors that sometimes come with cognitive decline. There are plenty of activities, both on-site and out in the community, thanks to off-site outings and complimentary transportation, which also gets people to medical appointments when needed. Devotional services are available for spiritual needs, and the property welcomes those needing hospice or respite care. Families can find support and resources on the website, including guides for different health conditions, and everyone is welcome to tour the facility to meet staff and see daily life for themselves. Residents tend to give the place strong marks, with an average rating of 4.5 stars, and the home keeps prices for private rooms out in the open for anyone who wants to budget ahead. Home Sweet Home stays focused on comfort, emotional well-being, and genuine care, without being too busy or overwhelming.
