Overview of Cherrywood Memory Care

Twelve years in, Cherrywood Memory Care is still doing what it opened to do: run a memory and respite care community out on NE Doran Drive in McMinnville, Oregon. It’s not in a walk-everywhere kind of neighborhood. The Walk Score sits at 43, which means a few errands are doable on foot, but you’re driving for most of them.

What’s actually happening inside the building matters more than the sidewalk situation, though. Licensed nurses and CNAs are on staff, which is the baseline you want for a memory care setting, not a nice extra. Respite care is available too, so a family that needs a short-term stay covered isn’t stuck. There’s a residential care program running underneath all of it, and a regular calendar of social and recreational activities, so days have some shape to them beyond meals and medication.

Providence Newberg Medical Center is the closest hospital, a little under 12.5 miles out. That’s not next door, but it’s not nothing either, and it’s worth knowing if you’re mapping out what emergency access actually looks like. Pooneh Gray runs the place as President, so there’s a named person attached to the operation rather than a faceless entity.

What Cherrywood offers is fairly narrow but consistent: a long-tenured memory and respite care community with licensed nursing on-site and a steady activity schedule, not a facility trying to be everything to everyone.
