Clay Court AFH

Clay Court AFH is a small adult foster home in Gresham, OR, also called a personal care home or assisted living home, depending on the state, and it tries to create a warm and home-like setting for seniors who need more help than they can get at home but want a place that feels friendly and safe, and in these houses, which are private homes with a bed capacity of ten or less, some rooms are private and some are semi-private, with each resident having their own private bathroom to support dignity and independence. The staff at Clay Court AFH are available around the clock to help with personal care needs like bathing, dressing, and moving around the house, and they have special training to help residents who have diabetes or who need incontinence care or memory care for Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, and they can do one-person or two-person transfers when needed and use mechanical lifts for residents who need that extra help. Seniors can get diabetic care through blood sugar monitoring and insulin injections, though residents usually need to manage their own blood sugar tests, and the caregivers handle reminders for medications, help with activities of daily living, and take care of housekeeping, meals, and laundry as part of the basic services, with a focus on keeping everything simple and safe. The home is on one story, which makes it easier for those who have trouble with steps, and there's a small garden outside where residents can sit, chat, or just enjoy the sunset, and there are indoor common areas for socializing, group meals, or participating in fitness and recreation activities or special memory care exercises. There's a pet-friendly policy, but only certain pets are allowed, and there's a strict no smoking rule inside the building. On top of that, residents can use complimentary transportation to run errands, go to appointments, or visit nearby amenities like the two cafes, four parks, nine pharmacies, 14 doctors, 11 restaurants, and two nearby places of worship, plus a hospital. For medical needs, there are licensed nurses, on-call doctors, and access to hospice care, as well as on-call speech and physical therapists and a full team of healthcare professionals using state-of-the-art equipment and up-to-date methods. Residents who need extra support with cognition can take part in a memory care program, designed to help preserve or even improve brain function for those with dementia, and the focus stays on helping people keep their independence as much as possible, even as care needs change because the community provides multiple levels of care, so residents don't have to move out if they need more help in the future. Parking's available for both residents and visitors, and the price for a typical studio room is about $5,000. The facility offers hospice care for those who need end-of-life support. Every effort at Clay Court AFH goes toward creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for seniors who need more care but still want to feel at home.
