Overview of Accommodations
Astoria Pointe is a thirty-five bed facility that has been under new management since 2007. The accommodations
at Astoria Pointe are clean, modern and beautifully decorated. Recent renovations include new wall finishes,
furniture, décor and other amenities. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with a relaxing homelike appeal.
The housekeeping staff continues to maintain a high level of cleanliness on a daily basis.
Along with its appealing aesthetics, Astoria Pointe has in-house laundry facilities, a workout room, a game room;
or a resident can just relax in our comfortable front room overlooking the magnificent Columbia River. The
grounds of Astoria Pointe are beautiful and great for a relaxing stroll. Historical houses dot the hillsides;
forests and evergreens abound. While enjoying a peaceful sunrise, you may just see a Black-tail doe with her
fawn wander by looking for some tasty bush to nibble on.
Meals
Our kitchen personnel consists of a staff of talented culinary specialists. They offer three delicious meals every
day of the week as well as beverages and snacks any time of the day. They take pride in preparing meals that are
tastefully presented utilizing the fresh fruits and fresh vegetables grown in the area. We have the freshest
fish along the west coast as our rivers and the Pacific Ocean supply us with their abundance on a daily basis.
The waters surrounding Astoria are known for their famous salmon, halibut, and sturgeon fishing along with
crabbing, clamming, and oysters - a few examples of what may be the catch of the day in our dining room.
The dining room, large and accommodating, is generally full of laughter at every meal. It's a family atmosphere
and everyone relishes the fine food. The quip is, if you need to get your appetite back, you definitely will at
Astoria Pointe. To top it off, the desserts are incredible, thanks to our dedicated and creative culinary
staff.
Activities
Our activities are very diversified and are targeted to help build self-esteem, and stir residents into developing
a social confidence in themselves as they reenter the world outside Astoria Pointe without drugs or alcohol,
sober, well-adjusted men and women.
We offer yoga and guided meditations to help our clients learn to quiet their mind and develop an inner focus.
Once a week we have an in-house art therapy class where a variety of projects such as ceramic painting,
beading, card designs and scrap booking take place. At least once a week, gender-specific groups will go
swimming at the Astoria Aquatic Center. The facility has three pools, including a lap pool, a water slide,
and a spa pool. Aquatic exercise programs also are available.
On Saturdays everyone is invited to participate in an outside adventure such as hiking one of the many challenging
trails, visiting local history and art museums, shell collecting on long sandy beaches, picnicking at any of the
wondrous national parks or finding hideaway places with natural springs and waterfalls off the beaten path.
We have strong ties with volunteer programs in the surrounding areas. Our clients work with agencies fostering
care and adoption for dogs and cats. We are also active at the local stables and farms, where clients learn
the value of taking care of horses and other livestock. Through our partnerships with these organizations we
provide a unique opportunity for our clients to address and work on matters such as responsibility, boundaries,
manipulative behavior, and anger management - or to just have fun and to learn to laugh again.
