Lidia's Adult Care Home sits in a quiet Portland, OR neighborhood and takes care of a small group of around four residents at any given time, focusing on adults and seniors who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication. This place offers both private and semi-private rooms, and some of those single rooms come with their own bathrooms, plus there are hospital electric beds in the rooms so moving in and out is easier for people who need that. There's always at least one caregiver on shift around the clock and often three, speaking English and Romanian, and the owner lives onsite, which means help is never far off whether it's day or night. The staff handles personal care, grooming, wound care, diabetes care, feeding assistance, oxygen help, catheter and incontinence needs, plus they're ready for cancer, Parkinson's, paralysis, stroke recovery, mental health challenges, and memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, with button call systems and alarmed doors for safety.
Residents get regular meals and snacks made fresh in the kitchen, housekeeping and laundry done for them, and there's always WiFi and a TV in the shared area, which gives people a way to relax. Folks can spend time in both indoor and outdoor common spaces, and the place is wheelchair accessible with shared main shower facilities and wheelchair-accessible showers. Pets already living in the home can stay but new ones aren't accepted anymore, and there's no smoking, vaping, alcohol, or recreational drugs-although medical marijuana or CBD oil is allowed if a doctor orders it. The home's LGBTQ friendly and welcomes both men and women, letting people stay as long as they wish, including through hospice and end-of-life care if that becomes needed. Activities are held onsite, and things like memory programs, social events, and rehabilitation services are part of the routine. House staff manage and document all medications, and they meet with families at times to review how everything's going. Lidia's Adult Care Home does accept both Medicaid and private pay, charges an average price of $3,500, and lets families compare different homes and talk with senior living consultants to help them pick the right fit. People tend to describe the care here as gentle, individualized, and attentive, and the home's current rating is 3.5 stars, which is considered very good.
