Portland, OR
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.
