The Amber, located at 365 SW Bel Air Dr. in Clatskanie, is an assisted living facility operated by Sapphire Health Services that serves up to 30 residents, with 16 beds set aside for memory care. Residents can choose between studio or one-bedroom private furnished apartments, and they're welcome to bring their favorite furniture or artwork to make the space their own, which is a nice touch if someone wants to keep something familiar close by. The Amber makes sure residents get help with medications and basic care, including 24-hour supervision and medication monitoring, and staff provide assistance with daily needs. The focus is on privacy, independence, and offering support when it's needed, so people can enjoy freedom but also know help's available.
Amenities at The Amber cover a lot, with daily housekeeping and linen service, apartment maintenance, three home-style meals a day, and an extra snack and beverage bar for anyone wanting something between meals. There's a large dining area and a signature salad bar with fresh vegetables, and a covered patio for those who like sitting outside. Activities are planned every day to encourage socializing and entertainment, and there's a fireside lounge, library, movie area, and a Beauty/Barber salon on site. The community also includes a Jacuzzi tub and makes scheduled local transportation and medical appointment planning easier for residents.
The Amber supports several levels of care, including assisted living, independent living, home care with trained aides, respite care, and memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementia. Residents have the option to live in shared neighborhood homes with live-in caregivers, or receive non-medical assistance in their own homes. Support services are offered in multiple languages, including Español, Русский, العربية, Soomaali, and Tiếng Việt, which can help some families or residents feel more comfortable. The Amber provides resources for career support in long-term care and leadership in care management for staff, so residents can expect steady service from a well-trained team.
