Portland Retirement Communities

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.
