Pure and Gentle Adult Care Home sits at 1717 SE 135th Ave. in Portland, OR, tucked into a quiet, friendly neighborhood that's close to parks like Lents Park and Mt. Tabor, two theaters, three places of worship, and plenty of restaurants, cafes, and pharmacies-so family and friends have places to go nearby, and residents don't have to travel far for what they need. The care home's a licensed assisted living setting with three to eighteen beds depending on which building you're in, so while things can feel private, there's a sense of community too. Trained aides and live-in caregivers are available around the clock for help with daily needs, hygiene, and medication, with a licensed nurse on call if medical concerns come up. The facility provides specialized care for residents with memory loss, supports seniors with mobility or personal care needs, and welcomes those who want independent living or need in-home personal care, therapies, or adult day care options.
Residents can expect a focus on person-centered care, a safe environment, and backup plans for emergencies, which are all part of the "Safe at Home" programs. Assessments help match each person with the right support, including housing and mental health or aging resources, and the care home works with state programs like Elderly Waiver and others, making it possible to support a wide range of health and financial needs. You'll find common indoor spaces like a cozy area with a big TV and bookcase for relaxing or spending time with visitors, and there's a beautiful outdoor spot for get-togethers and activities. Staff help out with transportation, and there's safe parking for residents.
Rooms are private, and costs start at $2,000 per month, which some folks find affordable compared to other choices. The mission here centers on supporting comfort, independence, and health through thoughtful, personal care and steady companionship, trying to make sure residents feel at home and connected. Mental health, training, and guardianship services get offered through partnerships with organizations like DHS, and the home takes part in community-based service manuals to make sure the right plans and protections are in place. Reviewers give Pure and Gentle Adult Care Home high marks, with a 100% 5-star rating and a 9.0 review score from families and residents. This care home is part of larger senior living networks, so it can also help connect residents with more resources or options if care needs ever change.
