Pacifica Senior Living St. Andrews

Welcome to St. Andrews Memory Care, a premier, an award-winning senior living community in southeast Portland, OR, specializing in Memory Care. Our historical building features over 2.5 acres of lush greenery and elegant interior designs reminiscent of a quaint, royal vacation home. We are aware that Alzheimer’s and dementia are challenging to deal with and involve making difficult decisions–but we are here to make sure that our residents, despite it all, enjoy a lifestyle that is healthy, active, fulfilling, and joyful. We also help their family members have peace of mind and work together with them to provide comfort and support for their loved ones.

St. Andrews Memory Care in Portland, OR, is a Pacifica Senior Living community offering full-service memory care programs, providing a warm, inviting, and familiar environment for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Our Memory Care program includes various therapies and life enrichment activities that focus on engaging the cognitive functions, thus slowing down the process of memory loss. Through the program, seniors living in our community enjoy a carefree lifestyle where their sense of independence and confidence is preserved, while their family members get to embrace their roles of being the daughter, son, wife or husband, rather than a caregiver. Our 24-hour staff is trained and certified in Alzheimer's care, ready to provide all our services with a smile. These include animal therapy, scheduled outings, spiritual activities, monthly support groups, restaurant-style dining, creative arts and music activities, and more.

Every arrival is carefully planned out. Prior to moving in, we conduct an initial health assessment and a detailed interview with everyone involved, which helps us determine not only the appropriate level of care for our residents but also get to know them and learn their life stories. After that, our Resident Care Director customizes a care plan that satisfies everyone involved. The goal is to help individuals with memory loss to live happily—even thrive—while managing the issues of dementia. Our dedicated, 24-hour staff, which includes certified nurses, delivers all our assisted living services with a smile. We take care of housekeeping, assistance with daily activities, transportation with our own bus with a lift, medication management, and more. We organize music and animal therapies, and when needed, arrange for visiting speech, occupations, as well as physical therapists. Apart from these, we offer restaurant-style dining three times a day, catering to specialized diets.

Residents can schedule appointments at our professional, on-site beautician, enjoy a concert at our chapel, or take peaceful strolls through our safe premises. They are also welcomed to join any of our life-enrichment activities–we have plenty. We organize stress-free classes ranging from patterning to sensory stimulation, dementia-specific activities, such as memory boxes and scrapbooks, exercise programs that include stretching, walking, and balance activities, as well as music events.

Found in the Portland Metro Area, less than 2 miles away from Mt. Tabor Park and Rose City Golf, St. Andrews Memory Care is ideally near several attractions and has easy access to I-205. We are close to the Oregon Zoo, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, and many restaurants. Loved ones may bring their pets when visiting.
