Sapphire at Liberty Pointe sits in the Central City neighborhood at 1241 NE 6th St, Gresham, Oregon, and the place stays open all day and night, seven days a week, so there's always someone around. The building's made for people who need memory care, especially those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the staff, called memory keepers and joy creators, spend their days helping residents reconnect with the world through activities that involve all the senses, things like art, baking, painting, gardening, and listening to birdsong as part of the Radiant Program and "Memories in the Making." The staff gets to know every resident, celebrates their life, and provides support in all parts of daily routines, whether that's bathing, dressing, meals, or just companionship, and families can bring their own furniture to make the private or shared suites-each with their own bathrooms and temperature controls-into something that feels like home.
The community offers 20 private memory care units and 35 more residential care suites, all based on easy access and meant to provide comfort and a sense of belonging, and there's always WiFi, cable TV, housekeeping, laundry, and chef-prepared meals, along with electronic health records to keep information flowing smoothly and medication handled on time. The building's secured for memory care safety, and most activities and support services happen in welcoming indoor common areas with daily events, outings, and wellness programs. The staff helps with everything from medication to meals to personal care, and there's hospice, skilled nursing and rehab, transitional independent living, assisted living, and home care, so people can get the care they need as conditions change. The apartments can be private or shared, the environment feels supportive and familiar, and there's always a focus on making days meaningful-even finding ways to help residents enjoy small or big moments, sometimes making lifelong dreams come true. Rent covers a lot, but doesn't include things like phones or cable, and the policies on pets, parking, and outdoor features aren't detailed. The community welcomes LGBTQ+ residents and follows fair housing and employment protections. The whole place runs under Sapphire Health Services, and though it's described as an apartment community, the feeling's more about togetherness, dignity, and giving each resident a good day, every day.
