Valley View Residential Care Facility sits at 9000 SE 190th Dr in Damascus, Oregon, right next to Portland and Gresham, and you can see the valley from its grounds, which is pretty nice on a clear day. The place is licensed for 15 residents and has 19 bedrooms, so some people share rooms, but there's space for private living too, and some rooms even come with a kitchenette. Valley View provides all kinds of care under one roof, including independent living where active seniors can do their own thing without worrying about chores, assisted living for help with daily activities like bathing or getting dressed, memory care in secure areas for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, skilled nursing with 24-hour medical support after surgeries or illness, and a continuing care option if you want to stay in one place as your needs change.
The staff speak English and provide personalized services that fit each person's needs, with a care team doing things like medication management, meal prep tailored for special diets-including diabetes and allergy-sensitive meals-laundry (even dry cleaning when needed), and housekeeping to keep everything tidy, with regular check-ins to make sure everyone's ok. If you need help getting in and out of bed or a chair, there's always someone available for transfers, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible. The facility has an emergency alert system for safety, phones in the rooms, and Wi-Fi, so staying connected's easy.
Valley View does a good job with social and activity programs, offering daily scheduled activities, movie nights, and transportation to doctor appointments or community outings. There are garden spots and walking paths if you like fresh air and a little quiet time, along with a dining room where meals are served together. The building is set up to feel welcoming and home-like, and there are board and care homes in quiet neighborhoods for those who prefer a smaller or different setting.
Memory care at Valley View comes with dedicated secure areas, 24-hour staff, and programs designed for memory support with activities meant to keep the mind engaged. Rehabilitation and wound care for those coming out of hospital stays are available, with coordination with outside healthcare providers to keep an eye on every resident's health and medications.
Valley View's residential care community is known in the area for its peaceful setting and comprehensive services-assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and even hospice or home health referrals-with easy access to nearby hospitals like Adventist Medical Center, Legacy Mt. Hood, and Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside, so emergency care isn't far if it's needed. Families like the low staff-to-resident ratio, the many activities, and the move-in help they get during transitions. With a community score of 4.8, people seem happy with the care and support.
