We have several residents who have "jobs" within the community for example one resident runs the resident store, and another writes the monthly newsletter called The Brookdale Blab.

What makes the chef or dining program at Brookdale Oswego Springs Portland exceptional? What kind of menu can assisted living residents expect?
Our Director of Dining is from Texas and has been with Brookdale 7 years. She brings her Southern hospitality with her and truly treats residents like family. She does special requests, and they get to help make the menu and give feedback at their menu chats. She diversifies the menu so it does not get boring, and will put someones special recipe on the menu and name it after them (IE; Alice's Chicken Salad). She does very special menus for holidays and has the residents vote on what will be served. During COVID she offers 3 choices for lunch and dinner, but normally there are 5 options to chose from. She can accommodate many special diets if needed, including texture modified. The food is excellent here!
What safety features or security measures does Brookdale Oswego Springs Portland offer to assisted living residents?
Our doors lock in the evening so individuals have to be let in if there is no concierge to screen. All residents have their own locks on their doors. All residents have pendents to call for help in case of an emergency. We can put residents on more regular checks if needed. Hallways are all short and community is very easy to navigate with wide halls and railings, as well as areas to sit and rest. Our clinical team does a daily review of call lights to see if anyone is calling more frequently, and investigates things like falls to help prevent them from occurring. During COVID we have a lot of extra safety in place- which we can discuss in detail with families!
