Overview of Cornell Estates

An art center, a greenhouse, and raised gardens are not standard features, and they give you an idea of what residents at Cornell Estates in Hillsboro, Oregon, do with an afternoon. In addition, there’s a fitness center, a library, dining, and a salon to cover the rest, and there is even a guest room for family arriving in from out of town.

Independent living here means private living with community services and no daily care. Assisted living adds that daily care and help with bathing, dressing, and medication. Both sit on one campus, so a resident whose support needs grow over time does not need to find a different address to meet them.

Starting prices run from $2,490 a month. Licensed nurses and CNAs are on staff, with coverage available all 24 hours of the day.

Respite Care handles short-term stays, which is what one adult child uses when another has been carrying the caregiver and needs a defined stretch for time off. A walk score of 72 puts this community in very walkable territory, so someone who no longer drives keeps most errands within reach on foot.
