Holgate Center

Overview of Holgate Center

The Holgate Center in Portland has been around since 1902. It’s one of those places where you wake up to the sweet sounds of birds every morning, as it sits in the heart of the peaceful Holgate neighborhood. The facility is made up of a great team of licensed nurses, therapists, and pathologists who are there to take care of the residents’ health needs.
They offer a myriad of living options that are designed to cater the distinct needs of their residents. Their apartments are designed to provide a perfect mix of comfort and convenience, and the grounds are just as beautiful. Most importantly, they offer a variety of dietary options, going out of their way to make sure everyone’s delicate needs are met. And it’s not just about the physical care – residents can watch the changing seasons unfold from the comfort of their own home with common areas that have such a functional, welcoming aura.
