Rose City Adult Care sits in West Linn, Oregon, and runs as a small adult foster care home with space for five residents at a time, and right now there aren't any open beds, which means everyone living there gets a lot of one-on-one attention. The owner lives in the house and helps with care too, which keeps things feeling close and personal. The caregivers, who speak English and Romanian, stay around the clock with two on shift at a time, and they handle everything from medication help and dementia care to feeding tube support, wound care, incontinence care, behavior management, and daily help with bathing, grooming, and eating, which is good for folks who need more support than big places can provide, and residents get to stay there even if their needs increase, all the way through the end of life.
The home takes in both men and women, is LGBTQ friendly, and has hospital beds if needed, as well as private bathrooms for each resident, wheelchair accessible showers, and free WiFi, so staying comfortable and safe comes pretty easily here. They don't allow alcohol, recreational drugs, marijuana, vaping, or smoking, which makes for a clean and safe place, and pets are welcome. Also, there are children living at Rose City Adult Care, so things can feel active and maybe remind folks of family routines.
Meals are home-cooked every day, with kosher and vegetarian choices for people who want them, and staff will help with all the special diets and feeding needs. They have nurses on staff and a doctor or nurse available by call, plus visits from podiatrists and a dentist. If a resident needs it, there's physical, occupational, and speech therapy right there at home, and they also offer hospice and respite stays, so families can get some relief or have a safe place if their loved one needs short-term help. Transportation to outings or appointments is free if someone doesn't drive, and for those with a car, resident parking is available.
There's a good mix of daily activities, with simple exercise groups, games, special birthday events, offsite shopping trips, devotional gatherings, and other social things to help everyone feel like they're part of a community, and both the inside and outside common spaces are easy to use, clean, and kept up. Beauty and barber services come right into the house. Each private room comes with its own bathroom, and there are hospital electric beds, call buttons, and a TV in the living room to share. The home stays focused on keeping life comfortable, safe, and active for everyone, helping people hold onto dignity and independence where possible, and staff pay close attention since there's a high ratio of caregivers to residents by design. This adult foster home relies on private pay, doesn't participate in programs for public payment, but its small size and steady support can make it a good pick for families seeking a quieter, family-style place with real, hands-on care for serious needs.
