Homes: Harvest Homes has been a fixture in the St. Johns neighborhood of North Portland since 1965. For almost six decades, we have been touching lives with love by providing multi-level and multifaceted care in our Assisted Living and Memory Care communities. We take great pride in our long legacy of care, having served hundreds and hundreds of older adults over the years, and strive to always go the extra mile for our residents and give them a special place to call home. Harvest Homes was designed with the comfort of our residents in mind. Our tagline is “Touching Lives With Love.” For us, touching lives with love is not just a few words on a page. It is a daily call to action. We firmly believe that a strong community, excellent care, and a passionate commitment to serving seniors begin and end with love. Additionally, we are the first assisted living community in Oregon to earn the JCAHO accreditation.

Overview: Care staff are the backbone of the organization and the first, last, and most frequent point of contact with residents each day. The caregiver/med tech assists the resident in maintaining their independence and quality of life by performing tasks and duties to support the resident’s physical and psychological health. Additionally, our care staff promotes the Harvest Homes culture by fostering resident engagement and belonging, encouraging individual choice, and creating opportunities where residents can experience purpose and self-fulfillment.

Follow and consistently build the simple routines and organizational structures of the community. Actively participate in the community with the residents, families and other staff. Document detailed reporting of the ADL care completed and any observations made in the electronic portal, MARs, or handwritten reports, etc. as required. Identify and promptly report changes in resident health status and/or daily routine in the Daily Team huddle, to the RCC and RN/LPN, and in the Progress Notes.
