Serenity Harbor AFH sits in Medford, Oregon, and you get a board and care type setting here, so there's that feeling of a regular home from the start, and the place stays clean and well-kept most of the time, the inside feels comfortable and meant for folks wanting a quiet place with safety features, and you find both indoor and outdoor common areas for folks to gather or spend time by themselves if that's what they like, and when it comes to rooms, residents have private rooms with private bathrooms and wheelchair accessible showers, so getting around stays easy for people who need extra help with moving. The kitchen and dining areas are open and pleasant, and you get nutritious meals provided, with meal service every day, and if a resident has special dietary needs like diabetic care or high acuity and incontinence care, staff pay attention to that, because the staff here seem trained and there's always help around. You'll notice some have called the staff friendly and helpful toward both residents and visitors, and they're there 24 hours every day, with nurses on staff and a nurse on call, and they offer personal care, memory care, physical and occupational therapy, and they even help people with bathing and dressing or anything that needs doing for daily life, and if someone's only in need of a short stay, respite care is available, or there's hospice for later in life.
When you walk around, you'll see residents and sometimes their families in outdoor common areas or in the game and activities room, and there's also a salon and barbershop onsite for haircuts, washers and dryers available, plus guest parking for family visits. The atmosphere allows pets, which matters a lot for many people, and the facility doesn't allow smoking inside, so the air stays cleaner. Folks who like to stay busy can join activities, arts and crafts, exercise, or wellness programs, and there's cable TV and wifi in rooms if someone prefers quiet time, while transportation and parking make outings or doctor visits easier for everyone. Security features are in place with sprinkler systems, plus safety and handicap features designed to prevent falls or injuries, and there's housekeeping and laundry so rooms stay tidy. Families can feel involved by sharing information for care plans because the staff here take the time to include a resident's past and present needs and wishes, working to provide the right balance of support and independence.
Nearby, the area's set close to several cafes, restaurants, parks, pharmacies, and hospitals-Medford seems to have most things close, making it easier for relatives to stop by or run errands.
