Love and Care ACH II

Love and Care ACH II sits over on SE Hines Rd in Clackamas, and folks know it by that full name because they use the "ACH II" in all their paperwork and signs, which sort of sets it apart, and it's got a set of services people looking for adult or even some child care seem to come by asking about because it takes in a wide range of needs, from folks who need a hand with daily things like getting dressed or taking medicine to folks who might need ventilator support or trach care or even TPN if eating's a problem - so the staff covers quite a bit of ground with that, and Mihaela Ion runs the place, and she's a nurse with over a dozen years nursing behind her, so she seems to know how to keep the care side of things steady. The place has private rooms going for $1,800 a month, but the baths are sometimes shared, and you'll find that Wi-Fi and quick internet if you're keeping up with family or like your shows, and they do allow pets within reason, which makes a difference for a lot of people. It's got a board and care home setup, but you'll hear about their adult care home services, assisted living, independent living, and even skilled nursing or hospice if things move in that direction, and there's a memory care program if dementia or Alzheimer's is the worry. For those who need heavier support, the home's got the equipment you often don't see like Hoyer lifts, two-person transfers, and bariatric setups, and their diabetic care goes right up to insulin-dependent help. Folks with Parkinson's, behavioral health, or traumatic brain injuries find programs here, same with those in the LGBT+ community since the home says they're welcoming, and for some, they require vaccines to try to keep everyone safe. Now, Medicaid's accepted right off the bat and they'll work with people on spend-down or VA contracts, so finances don't always block the door. Activities come in the form of games, outings, some group exercises, and people use the communal areas for catching up or sharing a laugh, with parks and pharmacies, doctors, and hospitals not too far out if something's needed. Transportation and parking are put in, and they've got support and referral help to connect families with other services. The whole setup means people with all sorts of care needs from simply needing help with moving around to the heavier care for health problems can get help here, and the staff tries to look out for both the day-to-day needs and the softer side, making sure folks feel looked after in body and mind.
