Overview of Kellogg Assisted Living at Mary’s Woods

Kellogg Assisted Living at Mary’s Woods provides assisted living, independent living, memory care, and residential care in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Independent living offers private living without daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision. Respite care is available for a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The range of care levels may suit someone whose needs could grow, since a resident can move between levels without leaving the community or starting over socially. There are 56 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Studio and one bedroom units are available. A studio is one private living space, while a one bedroom unit separates the bedroom from the main living area.

Medicare is accepted as a payment option, so families can apply that coverage where Medicare benefits are available. Elizabeth Moore serves as administrator, and Mary’s Woods At Marylhurst operates the community. A doctor on staff and an onsite nurses’ clinic provide medical support within the community.

Residents may keep pets. A pool and fitness centers support exercise on campus, while walking trails and gardens offer outdoor space. Onsite salons, transportation services, rehabilitation services, and religious services are also available. Dining includes meals in the dining room and room delivery, giving residents a choice of where to eat.

A Walk Score of 34 places the area in a car dependent setting, where most errands require a car or a ride. For someone who no longer drives, independent trips for errands are generally not practical on foot. The community opened in 2001.

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Oregon Medicaid cover assisted living?

Oregon Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Oregon) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
