Sapphire at Fernhill is a senior living community in Portland, OR, with 63 beds and a warm, family atmosphere, partly because it's a smaller facility where residents and staff really get to know each other. The center serves people who need skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or long-term support, as well as those looking for a respite stay or transitional care after an injury, surgery, or medical event. Folks recovering from strokes, falls, traumatic brain injuries, heart attacks, and similar health challenges can get rehabilitation, therapy, and ongoing clinical care, and the team includes nurses, doctors, behavior specialists, and mental health professionals all working together. There's 24-hour nursing care from Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses, and therapists create personalized plans to help residents reach their highest level of recovery and everyday function. Some people come just for a short stay to recover before going home, while others choose to stay long-term and get help with daily tasks.
This place offers both skilled nursing care and independent living options so active seniors can live in a community with things like group luncheons, fishing trips, and workshops, with resident-led activities like beat-making or public speaking encouraged for those interested. The building has state-of-the-art amenities and room comforts. Doctors make regular rounds, and staff keep up on each person's needs with regular assessments and therapy adjustments. Safety and health are priorities, with COVID-19 infection controls in place, and people coming straight from the hospital can transition easily to being a resident here.
Sapphire at Fernhill has a philosophy guided by dignity, purpose, and personalized support; care plans are set up with the resident and staff together, aiming to bring meaning and independence back into daily life, whether by going back into the community or building new routines and friendships inside the facility. It accommodates people with complex needs-medical, behavioral, or neurological-and is certified for skilled Medicare stays. Nearby hospitals, drugstores, dining spots, shopping centers, and banks make the location convenient. The community is part of Sapphire Health Services and works with local senior living advisors and A Place For Mom. Since 1970, staff have cared for seniors here with a focus on respect, growth, and quality of life, making it a stable choice for many different care needs.
