Whether you’re searching for a senior living home in Portland or in one of Oregon’s smaller cities, the state has a range of options. The transition to an elderly housing facility is a big decision. Not all providers are alike. What are the services you should be focusing on? Is assisted living enough, or is specialized care required?
Perfect senior living facilities don’t exist. But there are many that will match your specific needs, and the search process does not need to be a stressful event. Our top 10 Oregon elderly adult communities are the state’s leading providers. If you do not see your city represented in this list, our senior living directory can help you to identify a community in your neighborhood. We are also available to guide you in your search and you may contact us at your convenience.
How to Choose an Oregon Senior Living Community
Being close to loved ones is important. A senior living community that is hours away from family and friends is not ideal. But there are many other factors to consider as well. For example, proximity to your primary care physician or specialists and your hospital is very important. As is making sure the facility you choose has reliable transportation for monthly appointments.
Ranking The Best Senior Living Facilities in Oregon
Rankings can be difficult, especially choosing a handful from hundreds or even thousands of quality providers. Our rankings of the top Oregon elderly housing facilities took into account the reviews left on our website and reviews on reliable sites such as Facebook and Google. Feedback from citations or violations from the Oregon Department of Health were also taken into consideration. We assigned the providers a score from 1 to 5, and arrived at our highest ranked communities in Oregon.
The cost of assisted living in Oregon is highly dependent on the senior’s needs. Nursing homes as well as memory care provide the highest level of care, and this can result in thousands of dollars more per month. By contrast, independent living is for active adults and is comparable to local rent. The average price for an assisted living community in Oregon is $2,400. This includes meals, basic amenities, and services.

What residents and loved ones have to say about Courtyard at Mt Tabor:
I love living here at Courtyard at Mt. Tabor, and my favorite concierge, Tarrah, can assist me with many technological issues and answer many questions. The other concierges are also very helpful and able to answer and assist in many ways, both technologically and with all their wisdom and knowledge. This was absolutely the best move I ever made, to sell my house, consolidate my bills. The other residents are friendly. Of course, my very favorite room is the fitness center and participating in exercise classes and having the opportunity to lead some. I can watch the movie in the theater every night and there are church services for Protestants, Catholic, and a Jewish service as well. Yes, I can still cook in my own kitchen, but, I can also go to the dining room, if I don’t feel like cooking. Yes, I very much like my HOME! Susan Shank (Resident since August 2021)

What I love most about Cornell Landing are the team members and how much you can tell they love the people they serve. No where will ever be perfect but they show a great amount of love and affection to the residents. The food is also terrific.

What residents and loved ones have to say about Casa Shattuck Senior Care:
My aunt lived at Casa Shattuck for the last few years of her life and I can’t express enough gratitude for the excellent care, the lovely staff and the comfortable home environment. As particular as my aunt could be about nearly anything, the staff always worked with her to find solutions that would make her happy. They improved her quality of life by engaging her in activities and providing her the opportunity to set goals for herself. Ultimately the staff treated her like their own family, I wholeheartedly believe they truly loved her as if she was their own family. I would recommend Casa Shattuck to anyone looking for a part to full-care facility for a loved one.

What residents and loved ones have to say about Oak Lane Assisted Living & Memory Care:
My father was very reluctant to enter a retirement facility. However after being their for the past month he really likes it. I can honestly say that I have noticed a huge difference in him both mentally and physically. He is way more attentive and active than I have seen him in years. He likes all the employees and interacts with all of them. I can rest easy knowing that he is well taken care of. Thank you all at oak lane for making him feel at home and not just a place to live.
