Hope N Care, which the Asa family has owned and operated since 1994, sits in Southeast Portland and serves up a warm, hands-on approach to senior living, with the family involved every day and truly making sure residents feel at home and cared for, and you know, the place is set up to offer several levels of support including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing so people can stay as their needs change, which they call aging in place. The facility holds about 64 residents in roomy suites and semi-private or private bedrooms, all regularly updated with things like air conditioning, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair access, and there's a focus on keeping spaces bright and comfortable through steady upgrades. Residents get access to a wide range of amenities such as a dining room with restaurant-style meals (plus special diets for allergies or diabetes), a small library, beauty salon, computer center, activity and gaming rooms, a fitness center, gardens, and outdoor walking paths, and folks who want to stay active can join in on community-sponsored and resident-run events, social outings, movie nights, arts, and music programs, or check out the unique Chinese elderly care program.
Staff help residents with bathing, dressing, medication management, transfers, housekeeping, laundry, and daily routines, and memory care units are secure to protect folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, offering special routines and activities to help with anxiety and wandering, plus there's a 24-hour call system and ongoing supervision. For those needing more care, skilled nursing offers 12-16 hour nursing with wound care, rehab, wellness support, and short-term stays for those recovering from illness or surgery, while respite care lets caregivers take a break by placing loved ones with trained staff for a short time. The community promotes mental and social wellness with classes, games, off-site trips, vitality programs, and regular cultural events, encouraging learning and companionship, and they provide transportation for medical appointments and errands, making sure residents don't lose their connection to the outside world.
