Forget Me Not Foster Care

Forget Me Not Foster Care is a senior care center in the Sunnyslope neighborhood of Salem, Oregon, that's got a memory care building called Sweet Bye N Bye Coral Springs Memory Care, where people with Alzheimer's and dementia live in a safe area that uses bracelets and alarms to help prevent wandering, and the community was built just for memory care, so folks with memory problems have space that's secure and calm. The main Forget Me Not Foster Care facility sits at 215 Boone Rd SE, and it offers assisted living, independent living, dementia care, hospice, respite, and residential care homes, plus a program called Felicity Haven Adult Foster Home. People in assisted living get help with things like bathing, dressing, diabetic and incontinence care, while those who can live more independently have that option, too. The building's got wheelchair accessible showers, ramps for wheelchairs, and can use mechanical lifts and do two-person assisted transfers-so even non-ambulatory residents get the care they need, and the staff and nurses are available twenty-four hours a day, plus a doctor, nurse, dentist, and podiatrist can be called in when needed. There are indoor and outdoor common areas and a range of rooms, including private and studio options, usually running around $4,100 a month for a studio in memory care, with special rooms for short-term stays and respite care, plus hospice if that's needed. Animals are allowed, and there's on-site parking, companion care, Wi-Fi, and transportation services, making it possible for folks to get to stores, banks, or appointments nearby. People eat in a communal dining room that serves vegetarian, kosher, low salt, diabetic, allergen-free, gluten-free, and regular meals, along with healthy snacks, and there's laundry, dry cleaning, house cleaning, and even in-room kitchenettes. Residents stay active with on-site and off-site activities, both in groups and one-on-one, plus devotional and Buddhist services, and they've got beauty and barber shops, indoor and outdoor smoking areas, and organized outings. The facility accepts men and women, helps people with serious or difficult behaviors, and supports those with Alzheimer's or other medical needs using their board and care home program. Caregivers keep a close watch to keep the proper staff-to-resident ratio, and the staff work hard to make life warm and comfortable, with family outreach, health monitoring, and therapy options like speech, occupational, and physical therapy when that's required. The focus is on helping each person live with dignity, whether they need a little help, full memory care, or foster care services, and the facility goes by a few different names-like Skyline Manor Care Home, Regency Woodland, and Farmington Square at Salem-with each section built for different levels of support, and there's a real effort to tailor meals, activities, and medical help to what each person or child living in foster care needs.
