Overview of Russellville Park

Russellville Park sits in Portland’s Hazelwood neighborhood at 20 SE 103rd Ave, and it covers a lot of ground under one address: independent living, assisted living, and memory care, all offered at the same community. The Walk Score here is 79, solidly in “very walkable” range, so most errands are doable on foot and there’s enough nearby to make walking a real option, not just a technicality. Seventeen years in, this isn’t a new operation.

It’s a 3-story building with 20 beds, and the apartment mix runs studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom. That range matters because independent living, assisted living, and memory care residents often need different amounts of space, and having options under one roof means a resident’s needs can shift without necessarily requiring a move somewhere new.

Meals are chef-prepared, and there’s a bistro on-site for something more casual when a full dining experience isn’t what someone wants that day. Residents also get a pool, a movie theater, a fitness center, and a library to use, plus a running calendar of fitness programs, arts and crafts, and social gatherings. Pets are allowed here too, which is worth mentioning specifically, since for a lot of people moving into senior living, leaving a pet behind isn’t really on the table.

Regulatory oversight comes from Oregon’s Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities, and the recurring inspection themes touch several areas: fire safety systems, emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, care planning documentation, dietary and food service, and general housekeeping. That’s a broad spread of categories, which lines up with how thoroughly this type of community gets reviewed across the board. Taken together, Russellville Park is a mid-sized, multi-level care community with a genuinely walkable location and a built-out amenity list that spans dining, recreation, and daily activity.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Oregon?

Assisted living in Oregon supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Oregon?

Assisted living in Oregon is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. 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.
