Portland Assisted Living And Senior Care Services

The Portland/Vancouver/Beaverton is the 24th largest metropolitan area in the country making is a large enough area to support a wide variety of assisted living, independent living, nursing homes and Alzheimer’s care facilities. Many of the facilities offer continuum care. This allows seniors to move from one level of care to another without a significant and disrupting change. Residents at a Portland continuous care facility can move in and out of skilled nursing care during short periods and then return to assisted living or independent living as their health returns. The Portland, Vancouver Beaverton each offer a very unique selection of assisted living and senior care facilities. In fact each larger area has smaller neighborhoods that offer a subset of facilities.

Most seniors or families of seniors begin searching the neighborhood surrounding their home to minimize travel time and make it easier for the family to visit. By expanding your search area to surrounding areas, you stand a better chance of finding the perfect assisted living facility or other senior housing option.

The Portland metro area offers both large commercial assisted living facilities and smaller private housing options. The larger facilities offer more amenities and the assures of standardized care while the smaller institutions offer move  personal service. Once you  have narrowed down your  options to a handful of facilities, make sure to visit as many as possible  before making a final decision. Moving a senior into a facility is traumatic change so you want to make sure that the facility will work for the long term even if you are only searching for respite housing.  Make sure to check the state site for the status of each assisted living or nursing home to confirm that the facility has a good track record. Last but no least, talk to the staff and residents to make sure you agree with their style of care. Selecting an great assisted living facility can require a lot of homework but the payoff is huge.
