Precious Memory Adult Home Care sits on 29 NE 125th Place in Portland, Oregon, and serves as a small-scale, board and care home where up to five seniors live in a peaceful, homey setting that feels much quieter and more personal than bigger places. The home has private and semiprivate studio or one-bedroom rooms, with private rooms starting at $2,500 a month, each coming furnished with a bed, nightstand, chest drawer, cable, and internet, and some rooms have private bathrooms while others have shared ones. Residents get assisted living services that fit their specific needs, including memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and the home is fully wheelchair-accessible with roll-in showers and space for manual or power chairs and scooters. Safety features like secure doors and exit alarms help protect residents who wander or have exit-seeking behaviors.
The staff includes Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Registered Nurses (RNs), along with an on-site nurse, a Doctor of Nurse Practitioner who runs things, and there's always someone awake to help all day and all night, including for residents who may need assistance with bathing, grooming, toileting, or wound care, or have more serious medical needs like tube feeding, oxygen, suctioning, incontinence, or catheter and colostomy care. The home is licensed to support residents with high acuity needs, and has experience caring for people with a wide range of conditions such as diabetes (including insulin injections and blood sugar monitoring), congestive heart failure, Parkinson's, MS, cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, brain injuries, and more, and will assist with one-person transfer and post-operative care, offering support for those on hospice as well. They provide night care, behavioral and cognitive support for folks who may need non-aggressive help, support for those with mental illness, and follow policies for wandering.
Nutritious meals are prepared daily by cooks and meal planners, shared in a warm dining area where residents can socialize, and the home keeps a full calendar of social, educational, and physical activities, both indoors and out in their beautiful courtyard, and trips to nearby shopping, pharmacies, and medical appointments are available. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, as the staff tries to foster friendships and a sense of community, and residents can enjoy on-site amenities like a beautician, exercise programs, and digital stimulation for mental engagement.
There's no smoking, alcohol, or medical marijuana allowed, and pets aren't permitted, though sometimes special permission can be given for a resident's pet. Precious Memory Adult Home Care maintains strict safety and health standards for licensing, with all care options available, from independent or active adult living to memory care, assisted living, long-term skilled nursing, home health care, hospice, and non-medical home care. The home's focus lies in promoting each person's independence, maintaining dignity, and supporting residents' physical, mental, and spiritual needs in an environment that encourages respectful relationships, kindness, and daily enjoyment. The team helps families find the right care and gives clear information, being part of the SeniorAdvisor.com network and nearby the heart of Portland's shops, hospitals, dining, and attractions.
