Overview of The Amber Senior Living

Located on SW Bel Air Drive, The Amber Senior Living is a 40-bedassisted living community in Clatskanie, Oregon, that offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and respite care. For over 23 years, the community has been supporting older adults with comprehensive care options that allow them to age in one setting. Moreover, some errands are available within walking distance, as it is set in a relatively walkable area.

With services beyond traditional assisted living, the community provides 24-hour staffing, along with licensed nurses and nursing assistants. For those seeking care for complex needs and temporary relief, skilled nursing and rehabilitation services, respite stays, and hospice care are available. Transitional independent living is also available for individuals moving from higher levels of care.

Three nutritious meals, along with snacks, are provided daily. Comfortable shared spaces and activity programs are also available to encourage engagement and social connection, while personal support is provided as part of the daily care routine.

State inspections have identified deficiencies related to service planning, treatment orders, medication administration, healthcare compliance, and activity programming. Previous inspections also cited concerns related to meal service, staffing levels, and building maintenance. Some of these concerns were already addressed through follow-up inspections, but others still appear across multiple inspection cycles. It will benefit families exploring care options to discuss with management the steps being taken to address these findings and improve overall operations.
