Better Living RCF sits on SE Powell Blvd in Portland and offers a quiet, home-like setting where no more than 19 residents can live, making it pretty small and easy to get to know everyone. The place is woman- and family-owned, and the staff works to provide care that feels personal, patient, and kind, focusing on each person's needs and values. Folks can pick between private or semi-private suites, and there's a two-story building that's designed for comfort, with cozy, thought-out spaces where people can be at ease. The community welcomes seniors who need different types of help, from those looking for independent living to folks who need more hands-on support, memory care, or even care for tough health situations, and they've been doing this for 15 years in the same spot.
There's a long list of health services here, including skilled nursing, acute care, rehabilitation, wound and respiratory care, oncology, and even telehealth visits. Special teams give memory care, behavioral health help, and hospice services, and nurses-including nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives-are available, along with case management and support for things like dialysis, ventilator care, and emergency room attention. Better Living RCF has a progressive care unit, medical surgical services, PACU, orthopedics, pediatric and neonatal care, labor and delivery, and even flight nursing if needed. They're set up to help with long-term acute hospital care, disaster response, and occupational health, and there's regular care for residents who need help with daily living, mobility, and wellness. The staff make sure folks have meals cooked by chefs and meal planners, and people can sit for nutritious, balanced food three times a day, which helps make mealtimes a good experience.
Years of experience allow the team to make activities and programs that keep minds and bodies active, working to fight off loneliness and boredom, especially by planning events that help people stay connected. They aim to provide a safe, familiar setting for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, so residents don't feel lost or unsafe, with features that keep everyone secure. Folks who want a look inside can go on tours to see the dining rooms, activity spaces, and sleeping arrangements for themselves.
Besides traditional assisted living, Better Living RCF includes senior apartments for independent folks, nursing home services for those needing 24-hour care, and even home care visits for people who want to stay in their own homes. The community itself focuses on respect, gentle support, and letting people spend their time as they wish, hoping to help every resident keep doing the things they love. Amenities are there to support comfort and activity, whether someone needs just a bit of help or a lot of care through all stages of aging. The mission at Better Living RCF is simply to create a home that feels safe, loving, and welcoming for each older adult in their care.
