Overview of Cornell Estates

Cornell Estates offers assisted living and independent living in Hillsboro, OR. In assisted living, residents receive help with bathing, dressing and medication while keeping an apartment; Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Having both options on one campus can suit someone whose support needs may increase over time. Respite care also provides a short term stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 63 beds and opened in 1989. Residences include studios, one bedroom apartments and two bedroom apartments, with the larger layouts able to accommodate a couple or a resident who wants a companion. Each unit has a full kitchen or kitchenette, so residents can prepare food in their own living space if they choose.

Monthly prices start at $3,175, giving families an initial figure for planning costs. Restaurant style dining, chef prepared meals, home style scratch cooking and an on site bistro offer several places to eat within the community. Residents can also use the salon and spa, join watercolor painting, digital photography, book discussions or fitness classes, and take part in guided museum visits.

Pets are allowed, and the courtyards include room for walking a pet. A bus goes to shopping and doctors three times a week, providing scheduled transportation for errands and appointments. The area has a Walk Score of 72, in the very walkable range, so most errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still reach nearby shops or services independently.
