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.

St. Andrews Memory Care

7617 Se Main St, Portland, OR 97215
Overview of St. Andrews Memory Care

St. Andrews Memory Care offers assisted living and memory care in Portland, OR. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Having both care levels can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, since available care can change without starting over in a different community. The community has 85 beds and private rooms, so residents have individual sleeping spaces rather than shared rooms.

In the Montavilla neighborhood, a Walk Score of 75 means most errands can be handled on foot. A resident who no longer drives may still be able to get out independently. Medicaid is accepted, which matters when a family’s savings may not cover a long stay.

Alison Athey serves as administrator, and MTA Homes at St. Andrews operates the community.
