Happy Adult Care Home sits near Glendoveer Golf Course in NE Portland, Oregon, at 424 Northeast 148th Avenue, and has a license since 2014. The facility keeps things small with room for four residents in a single-story home, which gives it a quieter and home-like feel. Each resident gets their own private bedroom and bathroom, with showers that let in wheelchairs, though the rooms don't take power wheelchairs or scooters. The setting does not have fenced yards, a sprinkler system, or alarms on doors, so families should know about the safety features. Pets, smoking, alcohol, and medical marijuana are not allowed, and there's a strict no-smoking rule indoors.
The place serves both seniors and younger adults over 18 but isn't LGBT welcoming. Residents needing help with daily living, memory care, or more complex needs like diabetic care, high acuity care, incontinence support, ambulatory and non-ambulatory care, catheter care, stoma care, post-operative care, tube feeding, respiratory oxygen therapy, and two-person transfer will find staff on hand 24 hours. Staff are CNAs, not RNs, and a doctor and nurse are available on call when needed. The care team helps residents with diagnoses like Alzheimer's, dementia, brain injuries, cerebral palsy, congestive heart failure, Huntington's disease, MRSA, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, seizures, stroke, mental illness, and some infections. They work with residents who have aggressive behaviors, though they don't use restraints, provide wound care, or accept pets.
Residents can join group activities, devotional services, and Christian worships on and off site, and staff offers personal care, exercise routines, and even digital stimulation. Everyone eats together with meal options that support kosher and vegetarian diets, and caregivers make sure the food matches any special health needs. There's an on-site beautician to help everyone look and feel their best, and housekeeping services are included. Speech, occupational, physical therapy, and podiatrist visits are available as needed, along with hospice and respite care for families who need a break or temporary stays.
The home lets family caregivers know what to expect and supports long-term care decisions, and there's consultation available to help families choose the right option for their loved one. Residents get help coordinating outings, medical appointments, and other trips, with resident parking and complimentary transportation for some trips, with public transit nearby if needed. Residents can enjoy both indoor and outdoor common areas, though there's no fenced yard.
No alcohol or medical marijuana are allowed, and there's no allowance for pets in the facility. Staff speaks Romanian, Hindi, and Tibetan, making communication easier for some families. Happy Adult Care Home doesn't have alarms, monitoring systems, or intercoms; families whose loved ones have significant wandering risks should take note. The care team is friendly, offering personalized plans to support residents' independence and dignity, and reviewers give the home a consistent 5.0-star "excellent" score for quality of care and respect. The home is part of a group serving the Portland area, with expertise helping families make informed decisions about care needs in a community that feels quiet and close-knit.
