      Smooth transition attentive staff recommended

      I placed my parent at Adella and the transition was smooth. The staff are wonderful-loving, attentive caregivers in a clean facility-and my parent enjoys the exercise, activities, chats and patio/garden. I highly recommend them for the excellent staff, though some families wished for more games/yard/outdoor space and a few had problems elsewhere. Overall, I'm pleased with the care.

      Summary review

      Overall sentiment in these reviews is mixed but leans positive: most reviewers praise the staff, the cleanliness of the home, the active programming, and the presence of outdoor spaces, and several explicitly state they would highly recommend Adella Adult Care Home. Specific family comments include statements such as a father "loves the staff" and a mother is "thriving," indicating strong, personalized care experiences for many residents. The transition into the facility is described as smooth, which suggests effective intake and onboarding processes.

      Staff and quality of care emerge as the strongest theme. Multiple reviewers highlight excellent, loving caregivers and a generally attentive staff. Those positive comments are tied directly to family confidence and recommendations—several reviewers explicitly recommend the facility based on the care their relatives receive. This pattern points to consistent strengths in day-to-day caregiving, staff-resident relationships, and responsiveness seen by families.

      Activities and social engagement are another commonly mentioned area. Several summaries note engaging activities, exercise opportunities, and social chats, which appear to support resident well-being and contribute to reports that residents are "thriving." The facility’s patio and garden are also cited positively, providing outdoor space for residents to use. However, activity offerings are not uniformly praised: at least one reviewer felt the facility "lacks activities" and wanted more games and outdoor yard space. This indicates some inconsistency in programming or a mismatch between the programming provided and individual resident expectations.

      Facility condition and management show both positive and concerning signals. On the positive side, reviewers mention a clean environment and report that family members are doing well in the home. Conversely, one review highlighted unspecified "problems with the facility" and explicitly said it was "not recommended," noting that the reviewer’s mother improved after moving to a different place. That single strong negative account contrasts with the majority of favorable reports and suggests that while many families have positive experiences, there are isolated instances of serious dissatisfaction. The nature of the reported "problems" is not described in the summaries, so it is impossible to determine whether they relate to staffing, safety, administration, or physical plant issues.

      Other operational areas such as dining and clinical care details are not mentioned in the provided summaries, so no conclusions can be drawn about food services or medical management. Taken together, the reviews describe a facility with notable strengths in staffing, personal attention, cleanliness, and some activity options, but with flagged inconsistencies and at least one report of significant problems. Prospective families should weigh the generally favorable staff and environment comments against the single strong negative review, and consider visiting the home, asking for specifics about the complaint, and confirming current activity schedules and outdoor access before deciding.

      About Adella Adult Care Home

      Adella Adult Care Home sits in Portland, Oregon, and has room for up to five residents, with single and one-bedroom options, a spacious living room where folks gather, and rooms with private bathrooms and wheelchair-accessible showers, so it's easy to get around, plus there's a call button system for safety, and a Hoyer lift for those who need extra help moving. The place is run by a hands-on homeowner who lives in the house, making the environment friendly, calm, and personal, with English and Romanian spoken by staff and three caregivers per shift offering 24-hour care, so there's always help when needed. People find different care options like adult foster care, assisted living, and memory care, all under one roof, and the home is licensed as an Adult Foster Care Home, Class 3, welcoming male and female residents, folks from Providence Elder Place, and even seniors with complex health needs, including tube feeding, wound, paralysis, cancer, and diabetes care, and residents can stay through end of life and receive hospice if needed.

      Here, daily life centers on person-focused care, so staff help with bathing, grooming, transfers, feeding, and medicine management, as well as specific support for Alzheimer's, dementia, stroke recovery, Parkinson's, catheter, and colostomy needs-plenty of specialized help for high-acuity or mobility needs, and they welcome those on Medicaid or private pay. The activities calendar stays full, with on-site enrichment programs, community events, and structured social, spiritual, and physical activities, which gets everyone talking, joining hobbies, and making friends, and there's a theater, barbershop, exercise gear, and pet-friendly policies, plus devotional activities for those who want them. Meals get prepared by on-site cooks and cover nutritional needs, from daily fare to kosher and vegetarian options, with snacks between meals and laundry, linen, housekeeping and full maintenance taken care of, making things run smooth, and transport, doctor visits, checkups, and even moving assistance are all arranged as needed.

      Fully secured grounds give peace of mind to residents and families, and the memory care area uses a Wander Guard system for safety, so those who need a little more watching over can stay safe while walking about, and the community doesn't permit vaping or smoking but does allow doctor-ordered CBD oil or medical marijuana. Residents can keep pets, kids can live in the home, and everyone gets help tailored to what they need, with a focus on acceptance, dignity, and honesty from all staff. The home's small size offers an intimate atmosphere, filled with laughter and friendly faces, with a diverse mix of enrichment and support, especially for people with mental health needs or developmental disabilities, and the staff keeps regular health checks, medication help, exercise, and daily entertainment going, so residents are comfortable and looked after as they age in place. With high ratings from families and residents, Adella Adult Care Home stands out for offering both a Christian home setting and an LGBTQ-friendly policy, and the hands-on support continues day and night no matter the level of need, making this care home a modest, grounded choice for those who want steady help and a warm, personal touch in Portland.
