Independent / Assisted Living Portland, Oregon
Calaroga Terrace is a senior living community in Portland's Lloyd District, with views toward Mount Hood, Mount St Helens and downtown. It is a city community rather than a campus one, which suits residents who want to keep walking to things.
It offers active living for people 55 and over, independent living, assisted living and respite care.
Amenities are unusually extensive for an urban building: a spa, on-site restaurants, a fitness center, resident-run stores, gardens, a full weekly activity calendar, personalized dining and medication management. The community is pet friendly.
Pricing is not published. Ask what is included in the monthly fee and what assisted-living care costs on top of it.

In Oregon, assisted living and residential care facilities, including memory care are licensed by the Oregon Department of Human Services. Its public register is the place to confirm this provider holds a current licence and to read whatever inspection history the state publishes.
Search licensed long-term care settingsWe link the register rather than copying records out of it. State licensing data is published in a different shape in every state, updated on its own schedule, and a stale copy of a licence is worse than no copy.

About this information: Evidence labels describe documented policies, credentials or public recommendations as of the reviewed date shown, they are not a guarantee of care quality, and a paid listing plan never influences them. Details can change; please confirm anything important directly with the provider.

We would like to measure how the site is used. That part uses Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies, and it is entirely your choice. Nothing about your search or anything you type is sent to it.
Either way we count anonymous visits to each listing so providers can see whether anyone found them. Those counts have no way to identify you. Read the privacy policy.
