The Village Retirement Center

The Village Retirement Center

Overview of The Village Retirement Center

Gresham, OR, has The Village Retirement Center, where the sole care type is independent living. The arrangement is private housing plus community services, excluding daily care, and it’s a match for a person who wants that plus amenities on-site.

Homes come with a single bedroom or a pair of them, the larger for a couple arriving together and the smaller for a single resident. Keeping a pet is allowed. Very walkable at 74 on Walk Score, the neighborhood keeps most errands within walking distance, and not driving doesn’t stop a resident from getting out independently.

Reading, grooming, and refreshments are covered by the on-site library, salon, and café, without going anywhere. For trips farther afield, the community has transportation. The chapel is where Christian church services are held multiple times during the week, for anyone wanting regular worship. The resident council and the activity committee give residents a role in planning, as well as volunteer opportunities, educational programs, and community events.
