Diabetic Care in Salem, Oregon

We offer care support to people who are living with comprehensive medical issues. After evaluation, we will deliver the care needed to stabilize and hope to see an increased, healthier baseline for a better aging experience. This begins with an in-depth meeting with you, “the person in charge,” then corresponds with all attending physicians to understand overall health and identify any concerns for your loved one. Comprehensive medical tasks in long-term care settings are not always managed diligently, but here at IRC, we are highly focused on providing the complete service deserved. Our care model has evolved as our aging population and their needs have evolved; the priority is to support and satisfy the needs of each person we care for.

• Monitoring of chronic illness & disease
• Home Health~ PT, ST, OT
• Skin integrity issues
• Wounds/Wound vacs/wet to dry dressing
• Ostomy/colostomy
• Foley Catheter/PleurX Cath
• Urostomy
• Jackson-Pratt (JP) surgical drain
• Feeding tube/G-Tube/PEG-Tube

Comprehensive Medical Care: What Sets Us Apart?

What makes comprehensive medical care at IRC different? It’s our commitment to treating the whole person, not just the condition. Instead of approaching care with a checklist, we ask: What does this individual truly need to feel safe, supported, and comfortable each day? We know that behind every medical diagnosis is a person with preferences, goals, and a story. That’s why we combine medical expertise with human connection—because better care starts with understanding.

Our approach is rooted in collaboration. We work closely with healthcare providers, families, and residents themselves to create continuity of care. Whether someone is staying with us or transitioning from a nursing home in Oregon, our focus remains the same: to deliver seamless, compassionate, and attentive medical support. From managing chronic illnesses to supporting post-surgical recovery, every detail matters. By focusing on proactive care—monitoring health changes, addressing concerns early, and maintaining open communication—we help create an environment where residents feel both cared for and respected.
