Overview of Harvest Homes Memory Care

Harvest Homes Memory Care provides assisted living and memory care in Portland, OR. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing and taking medication. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Both care levels are available in one community, which can allow a resident’s support to increase over time without requiring a move.

The community has 40 beds, supporting a smaller setting where staff and residents may get to know each other. Pets are allowed, so a resident can continue living with a pet. A Walk Score of 42 places the area in a car-dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride. Harvest Homes Memory Care opened in 1965. Dulce Rolon-Lozano serves as the administrator, and TP Harvest Homes Operations operates the community.

Overview of Willamette View Terrace

Willamette View Terrace in Portland, OR, offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Skilled nursing, nursing home care, home care, and residential care are on the same license. Independent living is private living with the community’s services and no daily care. Assisted living adds dressing, bathing, medication, and other tasks, and a resident’s own apartment stays theirs.

For a wandering risk, memory care is the secured and supervised answer. Skilled nursing is the designation under which licensed nursing care is given on site.

Forty-seven beds makes this a small building, where staff and residents get to know each other, and a resident whose needs may grow finds the further levels already here. Matthew Hartley is the administrator.

At 72 for its Walk Score, the area is very walkable, and most errands can be done on foot. Pets are allowed, and one can move in with a resident. A Fitness Center, a Library, and Dining are the named amenities.

Overview of Laurel Parc at Bethany Village

Laurel Parc at Bethany Village is a medium-sized building in the Bethany area of Portland. It has been open for 17 years. There are 153 people living there. The home offers help for people who can live on their own, people who need some help, and people with memory problems. James Stacy is the person in charge of the building.

The helpers include trained nurses and nursing assistants. People who live on their own have their own big apartments. The building has a gym for exercise, a roof porch, a movie theater, and a special salt room for health. People can eat at three different restaurants inside. Chefs cook fresh food, and there is even a baker for treats. They also have fun events like fancy dinners and cookouts.

The neighborhood is very easy to walk around in. Most people can do their daily errands without needing a car. If someone needs a doctor, a large medical center is just two miles away. The middle of the city of Portland is about 11 miles from the home.

State workers visit often to check the building. They look at medicine, cleanliness, fire safety, and how the staff does their jobs. They also check the food and how the building is kept up. By offering different kinds of help in one place with good food and fun things to do, Laurel Parc helps people stay safe and feel very comfortable.

Overview of Raleigh Hills Assisted Living

At Raleigh Hills Assisted Living in Portland, OR, the license includes assisted living and memory care. Assisted living deals with washing, with dressing, and with medication.

For a resident whose dementia has brought a wandering risk with it, memory care is the level licensed for it, and its space is secured with supervision inside. Somebody who needs the assisted living level now and memory care later finds both licensed at this address.

The license covers 90 beds, and the amenities include a salon, a whirlpool, and a fireplace. Outdoors, there is a patio, a barbecue area, a zen backyard, and a flower yard.

Thirty-five is the Walk Score, which is car-dependent, so errands here are a driving matter. Lynda Brown administers the community, and Raleigh Hills Management, LLC operates it.

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.
