Washington Gardens Memory Care, in Tigard, OR, brings together memory care, assisted living, and respite care. Its memory care is a supervised setting for residents who might go wandering. Assisted living covers the day’s routine tasks for residents needing help, and respite offers a short stay for a caregiver who must be away or recover.
The three together let care change with a resident rather than forcing a move. At 48 beds, the setting is smaller, and staff come to recognize the residents they look after. Every resident gets an individual room, and a resident’s pet may come too. That mix of small scale and private rooms suits someone who needs memory care.
Payment through Medicaid is an option once a resident qualifies. Tigard Memory Associates, LLC operates the community, and Jennifer Scruggs is its administrator.
The area’s Walk Score of 51 is somewhat walkable. A few nearby errands are possible on foot from there.
