SVC / SEN Oregon & Washington

Senior Care, Assisted Living & RCF Electrical Contractor

Residential care facilities layer life-safety, backup power, and commercial-kitchen requirements on top of a full building electrical scope. Paramount Electric Co. has two ground-up senior care facilities in construction in Milwaukie right now, and we bring that playbook to assisted living, memory care, and RCF projects across Oregon and Washington.

Life safety comes first

Egress and corridor lighting, fire alarm coordinated with sprinklers, nurse call and door-control infrastructure, and generator-backed circuits for medication refrigeration, kitchen equipment, HVAC, water heating, and resident-room receptacles for medical equipment. We build the essential-load list with the operator, not just from the plans.

Two ground-up RCFs, one playbook

Linden Care Home is a 21-unit facility with an 800-amp service, a Type I hood commercial kitchen, and a 48kW standby generator. A second facility of nearly 18,000 square feet is in construction nearby. Both run on the same sequencing: service and generator early, life-safety systems tested before occupancy.

Renovating an occupied facility

Adding units, upgrading a panel, or converting rooms to memory care while residents are home takes planned shutdowns, quiet hours, and crews who know how to work around care staff. We schedule with the administrator and keep life-safety systems live throughout.

FAQ Common questions

Senior Care & Assisted Living Electrical — Questions We Hear

What size generator does a care facility need?
It depends on which loads the operator protects. Linden Care Home's 48kW generator carries egress lighting, furnaces, water heating, designated kitchen equipment, medication refrigeration, and selected resident receptacles. We build the list with you and size from it.
Do you support the state licensing inspection?
We build to the electrical and life-safety requirements the licensing survey checks and provide the test documentation the surveyor asks for.
Can you work in an occupied care home?
Yes. We phase work by wing, schedule shutdowns with the administrator, and keep fire alarm, egress lighting, and call systems operating throughout.
