With a 36-bed capacity, Nyssa Gardens Assisted Living Facility is an assisted living community in Nyssa, Oregon, that offers personal care and respite care. Operating for over 25 years, the community also features licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants available around the clock.

Situated in an area with a Walk Score of 61, the community’s relatively walkable setting indicates that nearby services and errands can be reached on foot. However, many destinations still require transportation.
