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.
