Clatsop Care Memory Community

Clatsop Care Memory Community sits at 2219 South East Dolphin Road in Warrenton, Oregon, and provides both assisted living and memory care services as part of the Clatsop Care Center Health District, and you'll find 32 total beds here, all dedicated to memory care, in a medium-sized building that feels close-knit, with staff who take time to know residents and focus on personalized support every day, so people get help with everyday things like bathing, getting dressed, moving around, taking medicine, and even spoon-feeding if they need it, and they have trained staff for memory care, including a locked Alzheimer's unit and secure outdoor areas, which really matters for folks who might wander or need stable routines. The community has shared apartments, small studios that are made for function and comfort, one-bedroom units, and even two-bedroom units available, and the whole place is designed to make it easy for people with different needs to get around and feel at home, with emergency systems in every room, 24-hour supervision, and a call system for safety. When it comes to food, there's a dining room with all-day meal service, restaurant-style options, special menus for people with allergies or diabetes, and every resident gets three meals a day, so no one has to worry about nutrition. You'll see a lot of amenities around, like a community kitchen, laundry and housekeeping services, flat screen TVs, an on-site salon and barber, chapel services, a reading area, and internet access. There's a real effort to make the environment homelike and welcoming, so you get resident-run activities, education programs, arts rooms, walking paths, jogging trails, gardens, and movie nights-plus activities and trips go out twice a week for anyone who's able and interested. Staff also help with more advanced healthcare, drawing blood on site, medication management, incontinence care, diabetic care, and non-ambulatory care, and if someone just needs a short stay, there's respite care available for them too. The community lets people bring cats and dogs, and there's safe parking for family visitors. The facility includes several common areas where people can gather indoors, as well as three secure outdoor spaces. They provide special support for residents with mild cognitive impairment, working to help each person stay as independent as possible. The Clatsop Care Memory Community scores 3.8 on Seniorly's rating, and many folks find it a family-oriented, calm, and steady place to live, with a focus on safety and dignity, and all the important things needed for seniors who might need extra help as they age.
