Cottage Care Adult Family Home sits in southeast Bend, Oregon, close enough to St. Charles Medical Center and shopping areas that folks can get to things when needed, and you'll find it's one of those certified residential care homes that tries to keep a homelike atmosphere. Residents get private rooms they can make their own with their favorite decorations and small furnishings, and the whole place is set up for seniors who need a hand with daily living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, or who just can't get around like they used to. Meals are planned for three times a day, with snacks, and the dining group ensures everyone eats together. Nurses are always onsite, day and night, and they help with medicines or special health needs, incontinence care, or care for folks who can't walk much.
Families can visit, and the small group setup helps everyone get to know each other, so the mood stays pretty friendly. The home has ground floor rooms and makes it easy for wheelchairs to get around. Staff likes to help residents feel independent but will step in to help with bathing or dressing, or even take folks to their medical appointments when needed. There's a steady schedule with games, social gatherings, and educational things to do, which helps everyone stay busy and connected.
Pets are allowed, which many like, and safety and cleanliness matter to the staff. Cottage Care aims to match care to each person, supporting both physical health and emotional well-being, and they encourage residents to take part in planning their care. Payment options exist, and those interested can visit and take a tour before deciding.
