An assisted living residence or assisted living facility (ALF) is a housing facility for people with disabilities. There are two ALF's in Lincoln City, Oregon. Residents of ALF's receive supervision or assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). Residents also get their health care needs coordinated for them and are monitored around the clock to ensure their health and safety. Assistance can come in many levels, from administering or supervising medication to personal care services. Assisted living is designed to serve people who cannot live alone but are too young to live in a retirement home. Assisted living promotes independence and dignity.

When comparing assisted living facilities and options, you will be reviewing the physical attributes and amenities of the building (i.e. the quality of the rooms and recreation options offered) and the amount and type of care and assistance that is provided to residents.

When looking for assisted living solutions, many people choose the facility that is the biggest, most attractive, and that has many amenities. However, Coastal Care Homes believe that the quality of care provided is the most important aspect of an Assisted Living Facility.

As our assisted living residents age, they find that they require additional physical assistance. This often leads to additional emotional health needs, which are all too easily overlooked. Continuity of care and relationship building with staff and other residents can be a key factor in successfully meeting a resident's emotional health needs. Coastal Care Homes provides the highest level and quality of assistance to all residents, focusing on continuity of care and building strong, open relationships between all of our team members. This approach allows us to do more than simply provide "Assistance". Instead, we get to know and care about our residents on a deep personal level. We believe this approach keeps our residents in the very best emotional health possible.
Coastal Care Homes staff all interact on a daily basis with our residents. As such, residents get to know our staff and feel comfortable and familiar with them. Other facilities tend to send in different caregivers each day, which can lead to residents feeling isolated and depressed. We believe that having strong daily interactions with residents is essential to maximize the feeling of security and belonging that residents are looking for. When you are looking for an assisted living facility, we believe it is most important to ask how a facility promotes continuity of care. We recommend you meet all the staff who will be involved in your day to day care before signing up. When visiting Coastal Care Homes in Lincoln City, we will make sure to make all staff available to you so you can feel confident in your decision.
