Couples & chosen family

We don't yet have documented couples or chosen-family policy details for this organization. Ask them directly, and let us know what you learn.

Trans-inclusive practices

No trans-inclusive care documentation is on file yet. This does not indicate exclusion, ask the provider about their specific practices.

Staff training

No LGBTQIA+ aging staff-training credential is on file for this organization. That is not evidence of exclusion, so ask them directly what training their staff receive.

Location & service area

Portland, Oregon

Serves Portland, OR

Exact street addresses are shown only where a provider has opted in.

Licensing & inspections

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 settings

We 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.

Questions to ask

11 things worth asking before you decide, chosen because the public record does not answer them. A blank means nobody has published the answer, not that the answer is bad.

  • Can a same-sex couple share a room or an apartment, on the same terms as any other couple, at every level of care you offer?
  • Who counts as family for visiting, for medical updates and for decisions, if the person closest to me is not a relative or a spouse?
  • Do you have a written nondiscrimination policy that names sexual orientation and gender identity? Can I have a 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.
