Terrango Glen Senior Care Services sits over on SE Wildcat Drive in Bend, Oregon, and folks say it feels more like home than a large facility, probably because they only have room for five residents at a time, giving everyone plenty of personal attention and care in a homey environment. The place goes by names like Terrango Glen AFH LLC and Terrango Glen AFH, and it's set up as an adult foster home for people aged 60 and older who need some support with day-to-day living, including those needing assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, or even end-of-life hospice services. Staff work around the clock, and there's always someone on hand to offer help-nurses stay on staff, a podiatrist and therapists are available, and there's a doctor, nurse, and dentist on call. Residents get three meals a day in their restaurant-style dining room, with a focus on quality and nutrition, and they take care of medication needs, including reminders and checks to make sure everyone's getting the right care.
The home has both indoor and outdoor common areas, a garden patio, and rooms with cable TV and Wi-Fi, making it easier to relax or visit with others. Pets are allowed, and the building is set up for wheelchairs. There's no smoking indoors anywhere. Cars can be parked on site, and folks get free rides for appointments or outings which makes trips to local parks like Hal Puddy Park, Tumalo Falls, and Pilot Butte pretty easy. They run all sorts of activities each day, most of which follow a Montessori-based style-things like exercises, pet therapy, and sometimes they even have intergenerational programs to connect residents with younger people. Housekeeping and laundry service are included, and personal care help covers things like bathing and dressing. For social and spiritual life, they offer activities on and off site, devotional services, and residents are encouraged to build friendships since the place has a friendly, kind culture that families mention in their reviews.
Terrango Glen Senior Care Services takes both men and women, but some rooms are reserved for women only. Safety remains a big focus, with secured areas to help those who might wander, especially in the memory care program. The staff help with diabetic and incontinence care, and they're set up to provide higher-acuity services for people who need more medical support without the feel of an institution. Their reviews average about 4.2 out of 5 stars, and people often praise the staff for being caring-there's a particular mention of Sharon as being especially loving-and the community for its cozy atmosphere, good meals, and strong sense of companionship. Residents say the building is amazing, and the activities are engaging, and it's got a peaceful, home-like set up that helps everyone feel comfortable and well cared for.
