Costs of assisted living in the Portland area

On average, our partner assisted living communities cost an average of $5,238 per month in 2022-2023.[01] Note that this figure represents what real families actually paid, including additional fees and expenses. Such additional fees might include the following:

  • Care need fees. These depend on how much staff support a resident might need, from low-care needs to high-care needs. In Portland, care fees ranged from $585 monthly for low-care needs to $3,300 monthly for high-care needs.
  • Parking fees. Many use Portland’s outstanding public transportation system or complimentary community transportation. However, for those with a car, on-site parking fees averaged $100 monthly.
  • Second person fees. Costs may apply if the senior has another person living with them. The average second person fee in Portland was $800 per month.
  • Pet fees. Many Portland assisted living facilities are pet-friendly, but monthly pet costs may be steep at an average of $750 per month for pet rent. Keep in mind that this figure includes pet care as well, like walking, feeding, or cleaning up after.
  • Community fee. In Portland, these one-time entrance fees averaged around $2,500.[01]

Is it affordable to live in Portland?

It depends. Compared to the national average, costs of living in Portland are 24% higher than the rest of the country. While Oregon doesn’t have sales tax and Washington doesn’t tax pension incomes, Portland housing is still 62% higher than the national average.[02]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the following is true of retirees aged 60+ in Portland: [03]

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

It helps to begin an assisted lifestyle knowing how your state taxes this income. Seniors on both sides of the state line can benefit from the fact that neither Oregon nor Washington tax Social Security benefits. Many choose to live in the Portland suburb of Vancouver, Washington, because of its better tax benefits for retirees. Vancouver also has plentiful assisted living facilities and a comparatively lower cost of living. In fact, Vancouver housing is 2% lower than the national average housing cost.[04]

Here are some differences in taxes for seniors across Oregon and Washington:[05,06]

  • Retirement account withdrawals. Oregon taxes retirement account withdrawals. However, Washington does not.
  • Private and public pension income. Pension incomes are partially taxed in Oregon. They are not taxed in Washington.

The figures below represent average baseline costs of assisted living in the broader Portland area. Unlike our partner cost figures, these figures do not include additional fees that families often pay.

How people pay for assisted living in Portland

To pay for Portland assisted living, families and seniors have several options to choose from. In some circumstances, families can use both private and public funds to cover the cost of assisted living in the Portland metro. In this section, you’ll learn about the many options that seniors and their families might have to pay for in assisted living. We also outline several public resources, such as Medicaid, Medicare, and veterans benefits, that could be available to help you pay for assisted living care services.

Private pay methods in Portland, Oregon

Portland area seniors often begin looking at their private pay options to cover their ideal assisted living community. Such options include income like savings, Social Security benefits, pensions, and investment returns. Depending on your resources, the following options may also be available to help fund the ideal senior living community:

VA benefits for assisted living in Portland
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits

If you’re a veteran or surviving spouse, additional pensions or benefits may help with assisted living costs in the Portland metro. For example, many disabled senior veterans use benefits from their VA pensions or Aid and Attendance benefits to cover their ideal senior community.

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

Help navigating veterans benefits

Applying for veterans benefits can be a long and difficult process. As such, many local veteran service organizations (VSOs) have veteran service officers to help you understand both what you qualify for and how to get your benefits. Offices may not have walk-in services after COVID-19, but many offer phone or online appointments instead.

Additional nonprofit organizations offer help as well, like the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Disabled American Veterans (DAV), and the American Legion local chapters. Other organizations with Portland branches include the National Association for Black Veterans, which advocates for Black veterans.

Portland has numerous veterans helplines you can call for quick guidance. Below, you’ll find a number of resources to help connect you to local veterans services officers, with veterans services by county, benefits guides, and more.

Portland Medicaid for assisted living

Portland area seniors may be eligible for Medicaid, the state health care plan for low-income seniors. While Medicaid does not cover room and board at our partner assisted living facilities, it may cover low-income assisted living in Portland at a Medicaid-contracted nursing facility. Medicaid can also cover in-home health care services, such as caregiver assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), at your residence of choice through Medicaid-contracted agencies.

In Oregon, seniors receive Medicaid benefits through the Oregon Health Plan. In Washington, Medicaid benefits are received through the state’s Apple Health program.

Oregon Health Plan (OHP)

Through OHP, you or your loved one may be eligible for the following services:[08]

  • Home health care administered by a registered nurse or health aide
  • Physical, occupational, or speech-language therapies
  • Caregiver respite care
  • Necessary medical equipment, such as oxygen equipment, wheelchairs, or walkers

Seniors may also be eligible for a number of government programs and waivers to offset health care costs. Oregon residents over the age of 65 or with a disability may have access to home and community based services (HCBS) waivers through the Oregon Department of Human Services, so they can remain in their residence of choice while receiving care. Contact the department by email for more information.

Navigating Medicaid and waiver eligibility can be confusing, though. To help navigate health care services, Oregon has Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs). These work with OHP as an all-in-one resource for your health care questions, appointments, and guidance in Oregon. Additionally, an OHP ombudsman can help you secure Medicaid benefits and advocate for you.

Oregon also offers these services to help guide you through the process:

  • The Community Services and Supports Unit (CSSU) is Oregon’s Area Agency on Aging. CSSU connects you or your loved one to the most applicable services by location.
  • The Aging and Disability Resource Connection of Oregon (ADRC) offers OHP navigation and disability resources, among other free services for seniors.
Apple Health

Seniors in Washington may be eligible for the following health care services through Apple Health:[09]

  • In-home health care
  • Financial assistance with Medicare premiums, medical expenses, and health care costs
  • Prescription medications
  • Lab services
  • Transportation to and from medical appointments

Additionally, assisted living facilities providing Medicaid care in Washington may offer one or more of the following service packages:[10]

  • Adult Residential Care (ARC). This package is for those able to take their own medication and care for themselves, but who may need help sometimes. Examples include medication reminders or activities of daily living assistance.
  • Enhanced Adult Residential Care (EARC). This package includes everything in ARC, in addition to help for someone who cannot take their own medication. It has provisions for occasional nursing, if needed.
  • Assisted Living. This package includes a private apartment, along with some occasional nursing care, medication administration, and personal care.

As a Washington resident, you may be eligible for additional programs and waivers. For instance, seniors preferring to stay in their home over moving to an institutional setting may be eligible for home and community service (HCS) waivers through Washington’s Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA). The Community Protection Waiver is especially helpful in the event of needing 24-hour care, skilled nursing, specialized health equipment or supplies, assistive technology, therapies, and more. For more information, check out the home and community services page on the ALTSA website.

Medicare assisted living coverage in Portland, Oregon

Medicare is a federal health insurance program that may cover some of a senior’s medically necessary assisted living costs, such as in-home health care. Seniors with AIDS or HIV may be eligible for pharmaceutical help through either Oregon’s CareAssist program or Washington’s Early Intervention program.

  • Medicare Parts A and B or Original Medicare. Part A covers hospital stays, skilled nursing, and lab tests. Part B covers doctors’ visits and home health care.
  • Medicare Advantage or Part C. Part C plans are provided through private insurance companies. Fewer providers may accept Part C, but the benefits are substantial. In addition to everything Part A and B cover, these plans also typically cover prescription drugs.
  • Medicare Part D. Part D offers prescription drug coverage, and it’s often added to Parts A and B.
  • Medigap. Medigap is a supplemental insurance plan offering extra coverage after Medicare A and B. Medigap plans help with things like copays and overseas medical coverage.

For Oregon seniors, Medicare Savings Programs may apply toward a person’s Medicare premiums if the senior has Medicare Part A and their income falls within a certain limit. Note that Medicare and Medicare Savings Programs do not cover room and board in our partner assisted living facilities in Portland. Apply for Medicare Savings Programs online to see which of Oregon’s three Medicare programs best fit your needs.[11]

Both Oregon and Washington also offer Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) services. A Medicare program with a Medicaid service option, PACE bridges some of the gaps in Medicare Parts A-D. You can explore details on the state websites in the resources below. PACE coverage might include the following:

  • Primary care
  • Prescription drugs
  • Transportation to appointments
  • Therapies

Visit the Social Security Administration application website to apply for Medicare online. For assistance with Medicare benefits and Medicare Savings Programs, you can contact Portland’s Social Security Administration office. 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 understand their rights and serve as advocates for Portland area residents.

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

Understand Oregon and Washington laws and regulations for assisted living facilities

In Oregon, assisted living facilities serving six or more residents are licensed and regulated by the state’s Office of Safety, Oversight, and Quality. Portland has several facilities serving fewer than five seniors. In such cases, facilities may qualify instead as adult family homes, also known as care homes, and are regulated by the same governing body.

According to Oregon regulations, assisted living facilities must give residents shared or individual apartments in a homelike setting with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. They must also be equipped to coordinate a range of supportive services, including activities of daily living (ADLs) and social events. These communities must also have staff available to residents on a 24-hour basis.[12]

In Washington, assisted living facilities are licensed and regulated by the Residential Care Services branch of the Aging and Long-Term Support Administration office (ALTSA). They are licensed to provide housing and care to seven or more individuals. Washington also requires these facilities to assume general responsibility for the care and safety of their residents. They may offer the following services:[13]

  • Assistance with personal care
  • Medication administration
  • Intermittent nursing care
General regulations in Oregon and Washington

At minimum, assisted living facilities in both states must provide services such as the following:[14,15]

  • Three nutritious meals per day, and snacks, seven days a week
  • Daily social and recreational activity programs
  • Laundry services
  • 24-hour services to assist in activities of daily living (ADLs)
  • Medication administration
  • Transportation for medical and/or social reasons
  • Supportive medical care, such as visiting medical specialists

Additionally, assisted living facilities in both states must adhere to outdoor and indoor regulations, such as the following:[14,15]

  • The facility must take measures to prevent pests, and the grounds must be free of litter.
  • The facility must provide an accessible outdoor recreation area for all residents to enjoy.
  • Indoor thresholds must be maintained with easy wheelchair use in mind.
  • Indoor facilities must be free of unpleasant odors and must be kept clean.
Disability accommodations in Oregon and Washington

Additionally, assisted living facilities in both Oregon and Washington must make reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Reasonable accommodations and modifications at a facility are designed to provide equitable opportunity for tenancy of people with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations may include the following:[16]

  • Landlords must allow necessary modifications that make a dwelling more accessible, including installation of grab bars or widening doorways.
  • Landlords must allow tenants to pay their room and board according to their income assistance schedule.
  • Landlords must allow tenants to keep service animals even if the assisted living facility does not allow pets.

For advocacy help in situations of disability law in assisted living, you can contact Fair Housing Center of Washington in Clark County or the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) in Multnomah County. You can look up Portland area assisted living facility reports using the following sites:
