Overview of Columbia Place Assisted Living

Columbia Place Assisted Living offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Portland, Oregon. Assisted living includes help with daily activities, while memory care provides a secured, supervised setting for residents with dementia related needs or a risk of wandering. Respite care offers a temporary stay when someone’s usual caregiver needs short term support. This combination may suit a resident whose care needs could grow over time, or a family needing temporary care.

There are 96 beds here. A Walk Score of 40 out of 100 places the area in a car dependent category, so a resident who no longer drives will generally need a car or ride for most errands. Transportation is available through the community, giving residents another option for reaching destinations. Pets are allowed, so residents can bring a pet. Columbia Place also offers a program called Senior Living Resources. Evan Windsor is the administrator, and Summerplace Community Healthcare operates the community.

Oregon’s Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities handles inspections at this facility. Inspection themes across the record have included medication management, fire-safety systems, staffing and staff credentials, dietary and food service, and resident rights and protections.
