Living Each Day with Help and Warmth in Portland
Needing a hand with the day should never shrink your world. Our assisted living suites pair private space with friendly, around-the-clock support, so residents can keep their routines, their hobbies and their sense of humour while we take care of the rest. The aim is simple: more good days.

Support Plans That Change as You Do

Plans are reviewed every ninety days, or sooner whenever something changes.
Help That Respects Privacy
Bathing, dressing and medication support handled with patience and discretion.
Whole-Person Wellbeing
Social, emotional and spiritual needs matter as much as physical ones.
Experience
Discover Assisted Living at Heathcote
At Alder Grove and Juniper Court, assisted living is about far more than daily help. Residents choose how they spend their time, join the clubs that interest them and keep the friendships that matter, with our team close by for anything they need.
Every suite has a private bathroom, an emergency call pendant and room for your own furniture. Housekeeping, laundry and three chef-cooked meals a day are included, along with scheduled transport to appointments around Portland.
Home
Suites That Feel Like Your Own
Bring your favourite chair, hang your own photos and set up your suite the way you like it. Studio and one-bedroom suites look onto the gardens or the street, and many have a small kitchenette for tea and snacks.
Shared lounges, a library, a hair salon and a sunny dining room give you plenty of places to spend the day when you want company.
Wellbeing
Staying Active and Involved
Our resident life team plans a full weekly calendar with residents, from chair yoga and garden club to live music, film nights and outings around Portland on our own bus.
Visiting hairdressers, podiatrists and therapists come to the community, so appointments fit easily into the week. Residents help shape the calendar at a monthly meeting, so new clubs and outings appear whenever enough people ask for them.
Reassurance
Care Close at Hand, Day and Night
Caregivers are on site twenty-four hours a day, and a registered nurse oversees every support plan. Families get regular updates and a direct line to the care team.
When needs change, plans change with them, so moving to a different community is rarely necessary.
Words From Residents
Hear it from the people who live and visit here
I came for six weeks after my knee surgery and stayed for the people.
The staff remember how Dad takes his coffee. That small thing means a lot.
I still cook my own breakfast, and someone checks in every single day.
Mum looks forward to the Tuesday garden club more than anything else.
Moving here was easier than I feared. My room felt like mine in a week.
The pool class is the best hour of my week, and I never thought I would swim again.
