Costs of memory care in the Portland area

From 2022-2023, partnering memory care communities in Portland cost an average of $5,593 per month.[01] Memory care can be more expensive than assisted living due to the specialized care services. Note that the above figure represents what real families at our partner memory care communities actually paid, including additional care and service fees. These additional fees might include the following common expenses:[01]

  • Advanced care fees. This is gauged by how much staff support a resident might need, from “low care needs” to “high care needs.” In Portland, these fees ranged from $585 for monthly low-care needs to $3,300 for monthly high-care needs.
  • Second-person fees. Monthly costs may apply if you have another person living with you. In 2022-2023, the average cost for second-person fees in Portland was $800 per month.
  • Parking fees. Many memory care residents utilize the complimentary transportation provided by communities. However, partners with a car paid on average $100 monthly for parking on-site.
  • Pet fees. Many Portland assisted living and memory care facilities are pet-friendly, but monthly pet care/rent costs can be steep at an average of $750 per month.
  • Community fees. In Portland, these one-time fees averaged around $2,500 at the time of move in.

Is it affordable to live in Portland?

Compared to the national average, costs of living in Portland are 24% higher. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the following is true of aged 60+ retirees in Portland:

  • 70% have an annual Social Security income of around $22,000.
  • 49% have an annual retirement income at a mean of $36,000.

It helps to retire into a memory care facility understanding how your state taxes Social Security and retirement income. Retired seniors benefit from the fact that neither Oregon nor Washington tax a person’s Social Security benefits.

Vancouver, Washington, is a more affordable suburb

Many seniors and their families choose to live in the Portland suburb of Vancouver, which has many memory care facilities, excellent tax benefits for retirees, and a lower cost of living by comparison. In fact, Vancouver housing is 2% lower than the national average housing cost.[04]

Tax differences for seniors in Oregon and Washington include the following:[05,06]

  • Retirement account withdrawals. Oregon does tax retirement account withdrawals. Washington does not tax these same retirement account withdrawals.
  • Private and public pension income. Pension incomes are taxed partially in Oregon. Pension incomes are not taxed in Washington.

Below, you’ll find figures that represent average baseline costs of memory care communities in Portland. Remember that unlike our partner cost figures, these baselines do not include additional fees that real families paid. We include the figures below to offer an area overview of baseline costs, so you can compare them to the all-inclusive costs of our memory care community partner network in Portland.

Number of veterans who live in Portland as of 2021

About 22% of these Portland veterans are 75+.

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits

If your loved one entering memory care is a veteran or surviving spouse, additional pensions or benefits may apply toward their memory care costs in Portland. For example, many disabled senior veterans use benefits from their VA pensions to cover their ideal senior living community.

A VA pension is monthly income that a senior veteran or their surviving spouse may qualify for. Veterans enrolled in the VA health care system may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit, which is a generous pension addition. This benefit can be used toward anything that improves quality of life, such as memory care services in an assisted living community.

Navigating benefits with veterans service officers

Applying for veterans benefits can be a time-consuming and complex process. To help with this process, many local veterans service organizations (VSOs) have veteran service officers to help vets understand both what they qualify for and how to get their benefits.

Local VSOs include the following:

  • Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
  • Disabled American Veterans (DAV)
  • American Legion local chapters
  • National Association for Black Veterans

For quick guidance, Portland has numerous veterans helplines you can call. Below are a number of resources to help connect seniors to local veterans services officers, veterans services organized by county, benefits guides, and more.

Medicaid

Oregon residents receive Medicaid through Oregon Health Plan, and seniors on the Washington side get their Medicaid benefits through Apple Health. While Medicaid doesn’t cover the cost of room and board at our partner memory care communities, certain Medicaid programs may cover medically necessary in-home health care services wherever the senior calls home.

These programs are usually referred to as home and community based services waivers. Eligibility for these waivers varies across the Oregon and Washington border, but typically requires that seniors meet these types of qualifications:

  • Be 65+ years old.
  • Have a disability.
  • Meet low-income requirements.
Home and community based services (HCBS) waivers for seniors in Portland

Portland seniors in the Washington suburbs may be eligible for the Community Protection Waiver, so they can access home and community based home health care services. The Medicaid patient must meet criteria including but not limited to the following:

This waiver helps Washington seniors stay in their home of choice for longer, so they don’t need to move to a Medicaid-contracted nursing home. This program helps senior residents of memory care communities if they ever need more health care services than their current memory care community offers. Some of the home health care services that these waivers can provide include the following:

  • Round-the-clock medical care
  • Assistive devices
  • Skilled nursing care
  • Specialized supplies or equipment
  • Specialized therapies

Oregon residents age 65+ or who have a disability may also have access to HCBS waivers. Waivers are distributed through the Oregon Department of Human Services. Reach out to the Oregon Health Plan department with their contact information below for more details.

Oregon Health Plan (OHP)

Through OHP, seniors with disabilities may be eligible for the following home health care services in their residence of choice, like their preferred memory care community:[08]

  • Home health care aide services
  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Speech-language pathology
  • Wheelchairs or oxygen equipment (as medically necessary)

Medicaid eligibility and enrollment can be confusing. To combat this confusion, Oregon has coordinated care organizations (CCOs) that work with OHP as an all-in-one resource for residents. They can help with questions about health care services, appointment scheduling, and general navigation through Oregon’s health care systems. To secure your Medicaid benefits or access advocacy, an OHP ombudsman is available for Oregon residents.

Medicaid benefits counseling in Portland, Oregon

Oregon also has the following public services to help guide Portland seniors through the process:

  • The Community Services and Supports Unit (CSSU). This is Oregon’s Area Agency on Aging. They can help connect your loved one to the best services by location.
  • The Aging and Disability Resource Connection of Oregon (ADRC). This organization offers free services and valuable resources for seniors and people with disabilities.
Apple Health for Washington seniors

Seniors on the Washington side of Portland’s suburbs get Medicaid benefits through Apple Health. If you’re in Vancouver, you may be eligible for these Apple Health services:[09]

  • In-home care services
  • Payment support for health care costs and Medicaid premiums
  • Prescription medications
  • Medically necessary lab services
  • Transportation to and from medical appointments

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for seniors. Medicare may be used to cover some costs of medically necessary senior care services, such as in-home health care. While some Medicare plans are all-inclusive, other plans offer more specific a la carte coverage, such as doctors’ visits or medical equipment. Seniors with AIDS or HIV may be eligible for pharmaceutical help through either Oregon’s CareAssist program or Washington’s Early Intervention program.

Medicare Savings Programs may apply toward an Oregon senior’s Medicare premiums if the person has Medicare Part A and if their income falls within a certain limit. Note that Medicare programs do not cover room and board in our Portland memory care partner facilities.

Apply for Medicare Savings Programs online to see which of Oregon’s Medicare programs best fit your needs.[11] Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) services are also available to residents in both Oregon and Washington. A Medicare program with a Medicaid service option, PACE bridges some gaps in Medicare Parts A-D. You can explore details on the state websites in the resources below.

PACE coverage might include the following:

  • Prescription drugs
  • Primary care
  • Transportation to appointments
  • Medically necessary therapies

Seniors can apply for Medicare online through the Social Security Administration application website. Portland’s local Social Security Administration office can offer assistance with Medicare benefits and Medicare Savings Programs. You can also connect with your county’s long-term care ombudsman. In addition to addressing consumer concerns with Medicare benefits, an ombudsman can help seniors and their loved ones understand Medicare rights and serve as advocates for Portland area residents.

Seniors in Oregon also have access to Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance (SHIBA). Washington residents have similar access to Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (also called SHIBA). Both SHIBA programs offer seniors a local network of volunteers, trained and dedicated to educating and advocating for Oregonians and Washingtonians who have or who need Medicare.

Understand Oregon and Washington laws and regulations for memory care facilities

In Oregon, memory care facilities serving six or more residents are licensed and regulated by the state’s Office of Safety, Oversight, and Quality. Note that Portland also offers memory care facilities known as adult family homes, serving fewer than five seniors.

Also known as care homes, adult family homes are regulated by the same governing body. You can learn more about the stringent regulations for adult care homes in Multnomah County on their website.

Oregon has an essential layer of qualifications that any residential, assisted living, or nursing facility serving six or more residents must meet before they can offer memory care. These facilities must submit to an initial on-site inspection to become endorsed memory care communities by the Department of Human Services, Aging, and People with Disabilities Program.

To be endorsed, communities must meet design standards backed by research to improve the lives of residents with dementia. Follow-up endorsement inspections and renewals take place as the facility’s business license gets renewed.

In Washington, memory care and assisted living facilities are licensed and regulated by the Aging and Long-Term Support Administration office (ALTSA), specifically its Residential Services branch. This branch regulates care for facilities serving seven or more residents.

At minimum, facilities offering memory care in both Oregon and Washington must provide services such as the following:[10,11]

  • Three nutritious daily meals and snacks
  • Social and recreational activity programs daily
  • Laundry services
  • 24-hour services to help with activities of daily living (ADLs)
  • Medication administration
  • Transportation for medical and/or social appointments
  • Supportive medical care, such as visiting therapists and specialists

Additionally, facilities in both states must adhere to outdoor and indoor regulations, such as the following:[10,11]

  • Memory care facilities must take measures to prevent pests.
  • Facility grounds must be free of litter.
  • Thresholds must be maintained with easy wheelchair use in mind.
  • Facilities must be free of unpleasant odors indoors and must be kept clean.

Regulations specific to Oregon

Sample requirements from Oregon-endorsed memory care facilities include the following:[12]

  • Artificial lighting must be minimal to allow residents to experience natural daylight cycles; necessary artificial lighting must be indirect or diffused.
  • Facilities must have large and fence-secured outdoor recreation areas for residents to enjoy.
  • Indoor common areas must have windows or skylights equivalent to 12% or greater of the common area’s square footage.

In addition to these memory care specific requirements, memory care and assisted living facilities must give residents a homelike dwelling with a private bathroom and a kitchenette. Portland memory care facilities must also be equipped to coordinate a range of supportive services, including a calendar of social events and help with activities of daily living (ADLs). Staff must also be available to residents on a 24-hour basis.[13]

Regulations specific to Washington

Washington requires memory care facilities to assume general responsibility for the safety and proper care of their residents. They may offer the following services:[14]

  • Personal care assistance
  • Medication administration
  • Occasional nursing care

For more information on Washington memory care regulations, visit our informative guide.

Disability accommodations in Oregon and Washington

Facilities providing memory care in Oregon and Washington must accommodate people with disabilities, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). By design, reasonable accommodations and modifications are to help provide equitable opportunities for people with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations may include the following:[15]

  • Installing grab bars or widening doorways
  • Altering due dates to align with a resident’s income assistance schedule
  • Allowing service animals even if the facility does not allow pets

In situations of disability law advocacy while a loved one is in memory care, you can contact Fair Housing Center of Washington in Clark County or the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) in Multnomah County. Additionally, you can look up reports on Portland area assisted living and memory care facilities using the following sites:

COVID-19 regulations for Portland memory care facilities

Facilities in Oregon are required to take COVID-19 precautions, such as posting notices at entrances and exits if a staff member or memory care resident has a suspected or reported case of COVID-19. Indoor visitation is allowed in Oregon and Washington, so long as visitors and residents follow precautionary steps, such as social distancing and masking.[16,17]

Social distancing.

In Washington, social distancing is recommended to reduce the spread of COVID-19. To support this effort, residents can enable WA Notify, which tracks reported exposures. By enabling WA Notify, you can get notifications if you’ve been exposed to COVID-19. This can help residents clarify whether they need to social distance to reduce the spread of infection.

What to expect from memory care in Portland

In many cases, memory care in Portland is offered through a couple different types of facilities:

  • Assisted living with designated memory care sections
  • Adult care homes

Assisted living with memory care in Portland

Portland is home to many memory care facilities that qualify as both an assisted living facility and a residential care facility. Should you encounter one or the other in your search for Portland memory care, the main differences between the two, while not mutually exclusive, are listed below:

  • Assisted living facilities offer fully self-contained individual living units
  • Residential care facilities offer homelike facilities with shared or individual living units

A major benefit to assisted or residential care facilities is that residents in memory care have ready access to explore many more spaces. Exploration and freedom to wander is particularly helpful for people with dementia. Because of this, many of our memory care partners in Portland put an emphasis on calming colors, lots of natural light, and easily navigable walking environments, both indoors and outdoors.

For added convenience and reduced hassle, larger facilities also often have on-site amenities, such as snack shops, beauty or barber shops, and postal services. These amenities bring a sense of positive, familiar errand-running for residents but without the fuss of having to leave the assisted living environment.

Prioritizing resident safety

In reviews of Portland facilities, residents’ loved ones consistently praise our memory care partners for how safe they make residents feel. Some communities are able to offer licensed nursing and oversight, while the vast majority of facilities offer 24-hour emergency availability from team members trained in dementia care.

Staff give family members proactive and consistent communication about how their loved one in memory care is faring; the attentive, respectful care that memory care staff give to seniors makes families feel secure in the knowledge that their loved one is in good hands.

Adult care homes in Portland

Adult care homes make up a substantial number of Portland’s senior living facilities with memory care. These communities are good options for seniors who prefer to live in smaller, more intimate settings that remind them of home. While they generally offer the same level of care as larger memory care communities, they tend to be cheaper.

Most care home residents share rooms with another senior. They take three meals a day in a traditional dining room and can enjoy common areas and outdoor yards similar to a private residential home. Though activity offerings aren’t as robust as those offered at larger memory care facilities, residents in these homes gain immediate access to live-in caregivers.

Our data indicates that 45% of facilities also offer transportation at cost.[01] As it’s unsafe for memory care patients to travel or navigate the city alone, drivers employed by these memory care communities may be charged with keeping residents safe.
