Assisted living and an adult family home will feel different when you tour.

Watch how staff treat the people who already live there.

In a good community, residents walk up unprompted. They tell you about their life. They ask, “When are you moving in?” They always, always do.

A red flag is touring with someone — even the executive director — who has no time for the people whose home this already is. You’re there to care for them and support them… and they don’t even see them.

A community that engages with residents on the tour is a very good indicator of the care your loved one will get when they’re living there.

That’s what we watch for when we tour with families.

🌿 Bess’s official summer address: the porch.
Garden in the background. Dinner outside when the evening cools down. As much time as possible playing with her son. If the weather’s good, she is not coming inside.
Meet Bess, owner of Care and Keeping. For nearly eight years she’s walked families through the move to senior living with one quiet promise: you’ll feel informed, empowered, and sure you found the right fit.

When she’s not with clients, she’s President of the Portland Elder Care Council and just wrapped five years on the OSRAA board. All of it aimed at raising the standard of care for seniors across the region.

Highly recommend the porch. 🌤️

🎶 Summer, according to Mary:
Outdoor concerts. Beach days. Traveling with family and friends. She had a hard time narrowing it down, but live music under an open sky won.

Mary ShanafeltHousing and Care Advisor.
Mary has always had a passion for helping people. Volunteering in her community, and caring for elderly family members of her own became the driving force behind her desire to do more for seniors.

Families notice it right away: she brings experience, patience, and a real understanding of what they're walking through.

Second stop in our "how we spent the summer" series. ☀️

Finding the best place for Mom and Dad to live is more than a hard decision, it can actually feel impossible.

At Care and Keeping, we completely understand.

Not only is safety a primary concern, but it's often overshadowed by cost. That's why Bess and her team help families navigate all of your biggest concerns to locate the perfect fit.

☀️ Summer, according to Emily:
Long warm evenings. Anything in the water. "The NW shines in summer!"

Meet Emily McNulty, our Housing and Care Advisor — the person families turn to when they're figuring out what's next for someone they love. Whether that's bringing in resources so a parent can stay safely at home, or finding the right care community, Emily has spent years guiding families through those complicated moments with real compassion.
September's here, so we're making everyone report back on their summer.

✨ From a major career transition to building something entirely from the ground up! ✨

Starting "Care and Keeping" at the beginning of 2023 wasn't something Bess originally planned, but it grew organically into a business so close to the heart.

Building a business independently comes with incredible lessons along the way, and the ultimate reward is being able to provide the flexibility and support that family needs.

08/27/2026

When it is time for a new living situation, your loved one deserves a place where they feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home.

Bess, the owner of Care and Keeping, understands how personal these decisions are.

Her background in caregiving gives her a unique perspective on what families need — not just from a practical standpoint, but from a human one.

She does the research, makes the calls, asks the questions and helps families navigate the options throughout the Portland area.

Finding a new place to live isn't simply about finding an available room.
It's about finding the right place for the person you love. ❤️
That’s the heart of Care and Keeping.
