Advocate Care sits on SE Holgate Blvd in Portland, close to downtown Gresham, in a spot that's near bus lines and has easy travel to both Portland and Gresham, and you know, there's this feeling to the place, with its 32 individual rooms and a big courtyard, that makes it seem like folks living there can feel a bit more at home and not so much in a hospital or big institution, and they've got daily activities for people to join if they want, both inside the building and out in the local area, because they offer rides to appointments and outings so people don't feel shut in, and the menu always changes with a lot of healthy choices since professional chefs do the meals, making sure people get foods that are both good for you and taste fine, especially for special diets.
The place often sees younger adults from ages 18 to 65 with disabilities, including those dealing with traumatic brain injury or developmental disabilities, and there's a level of nursing care that stands out since a Registered Nurse is there 24-hours every day, so if something happens, help's always around, and the staff helps with medicine reminders, bathing, meals, and other daily things folks might need, and, well, with memory care programs, they have a way to offer the kind of support that fits each person, and they really do focus on making support fit each resident, whether someone's there for assisted living, residential care, or nursing assistance, and they handle both physical care and help with behaviors in a calm way.
Advocate Care is a privately owned LLC with a business management team that includes the Administrator, Ms. Leah Pedigo, and the Owner, Mr. Daniel Gregory, and the place has about 45 employees, which helps keep the care personal and the place pretty active with structured activities in the common spaces or out in the yard. The community holds an A+ rating with the BBB, and the operating hours for the business office are nine to five on weekdays, although the care staff are there all the time. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are all accepted, so families have some flexibility, and people can ask for help about moving in or send questions through a simple online form. Advocate Care has a brochure for those who want to read more about their services, and while there aren't any reviews available yet, the facts about the care, the location, and the kind of community offered are clear to see.
