Costs of independent living in the Portland, Oregon, area

On average, independent living communities in our Portland partner network cost around $3,982 each month.[01] Note that this number includes associated fees and service add-ons that real residents paid in the past twelve months. Additional fees you might encounter in independent living communities may include one-time admission fees, such as community fees. These one-time community fees averaged $2,500 in 2022-2023.

Communities may also have additional monthly fees for add-on services like the following:

  • Lodging upgrades, such as extra bedrooms or detached cottages
  • Parking on-site, costing between $20 to $60 monthly
  • Pet fees, falling anywhere between $50 to $500 monthly
  • A second person moving in, with costs ranging between $585 and $750

Note that some seniors report flexible pricing in reviews among Portland communities.

Is Portland an affordable place to live?

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

The U.S. Census Bureau indicates that of the retirees aged 60+ in the Portland metropolitan area:

  • 70% are bringing in an annual Social Security income of around $22,000
  • 49% are bringing in an annual retirement income at a mean of $36,000[03]

Given that, it helps to go into independent living knowing how your state taxes this income. One benefit for seniors on both sides of the state line is that neither Oregon nor Washington tax Social Security benefits. Many seniors choose to live in the Portland suburb of Vancouver, Washington, which has more independent living facilities, better tax benefits for retirees, and an overall cost of living at only 4% higher than the national average. In fact, Vancouver housing is 2% lower than the national average housing cost.[04]

Here are some differences between senior taxation in Oregon and Washington:

  • Withdrawals from retirement accounts. The state of Oregon taxes retirement account withdrawals. However, Washington state does not tax retirement account withdrawals.
  • Public and private pension income. Pension incomes are partially taxed in Oregon. As mentioned previously, pension incomes are not taxed in Washington.[05,06]

VA benefits for independent living in Portland

A VA pension and other VA benefits can provide monthly income to eligible senior veterans or their surviving spouses. This income can be used toward the costs of independent living and in-home care.

The veterans Aid and Attendance benefit is a generous pension addition you might also be eligible for as a disabled veteran or surviving spouse. This benefit can be used toward anything that improves a veteran’s quality of life, like living in an independent living community.

Navigating veterans benefits with expert help

Applying for veterans benefits can be a long and difficult process. Without advocacy, your claim may be denied. Because of this, many local Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) have veteran service officers available to help you get the benefits you’re entitled to and even appeal denied claims. Because of COVID-19, offices may or may not have walk-in services available. Many offer phone appointments instead.

Nonprofit organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the American Legion have service officers available to advocate for veterans filing claims. Other local organizations, such as the National Association for Black Veterans and the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) also offer veteran service officers to help Black or disabled veterans access their benefits in Portland.

Residents also have access to numerous veterans helplines for quick, helpful information right over the phone. Below, you’ll find a number of resources to connect you to Portland VSOs, veterans services by county, benefits guides, and more.

Portland Medicaid for independent living

In Oregon, Medicaid — a state- and federally-funded health insurance program — is offered through the Oregon Health Plan. Meanwhile, seniors on the Washington side receive their Medicaid benefits through Apple Health. While Medicaid doesn’t cover the cost of room and board in independent living communities, both Medicaid programs can help cover in-home health care services if they’re medically necessary for you. Eligibility varies depending on which side of the state line you’re on, but typically requires seniors meet these types of qualifications:

  • Be 65+ years old
  • Have a disability
  • Meet low-income requirements
Oregon Health Plan (OHP)

Through OHP, you may be eligible for the following services:[08]

  • Home health care overseen by a registered nurse or health aide
  • Therapies, such as physical, occupational, or speech-language pathology
  • Respite care for caregivers
  • Medically necessary equipment, such as wheelchairs or oxygen equipment

Navigating Medicaid eligibility and enrollment can be a bit confusing. Oregon has Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) that work with OHP as an all-in-one resource for patients. They can help you with your health care questions, appointments, and navigation through the health care systems in Oregon. To help secure your Medicaid benefits or access advocacy, an OHP ombudsman is available for Oregon residents.

Oregon also has the following fantastic 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 you to the most pertinent services by location.
  • The Aging and Disability Resource Connection of Oregon (ADRC). This organization offers free services, such as OHP navigation, and resources for seniors and people with disabilities.
Home and community based services (HCBS) waivers for Portland seniors

Portland seniors on the Washington side may be eligible for the Community Protection Waiver, if they meet criteria including but not limited to the following:

This waiver helps Washington residents stay in their home of choice instead of an institutional setting. This helps in the event of needing assistance such as the following:

  • Round-the-clock care
  • Assistive technology
  • Skilled nursing
  • Specialized supplies or equipment
  • Therapies

Oregon residents over 65 or with a disability may also have access to HCBS waivers. These are distributed through the Oregon Department of Human Services. For more information, contact the department by email.

Apple Health for Washington seniors

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

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

For questions about Apple Health and related waivers, here are some additional ways to get answers:

Medicare coverage for independent living in Portland

Medicare is the designated federal health insurance program for seniors over age 65. Medicare doesn’t cover costs of independent living, but may cover medically necessary health care services.

Medicare plans include the following parts:

  • Medicare Parts A and B, or Original Medicare. This is the basic Medicare plan. Part A covers skilled nursing, hospital stays, and lab tests. Part B covers home health and doctors’ office visits.
  • Medicare Advantage or Part C. Medicare Advantage plans are offered through private insurance companies. Fewer health care providers may take these plans, but these plans do typically cover prescription drugs in addition to everything that Original Medicare provides.
  • Medicare Part D. This is often added to Original Medicare and offers additional prescription drug coverage.
  • Medigap. This is a supplemental insurance plan with extra coverage for those with Medicare A and B. Medigap plans provide assistance with copays and overseas medical coverage, to name a few.

Seniors with AIDS or HIV may be eligible for additional pharmaceutical assistance through either Oregon’s CareAssist program or Washington’s Early Intervention program. Medicare Savings Programs are available to Oregon seniors with Medicare Part A whose income falls within a certain limit. These programs may cover some of a senior’s Medicare premium.

Oregon has three Medicare programs. You can apply for Medicare savings programs online and see which best fits your needs.[10] Oregon and Washington both offer PACE services, which stands for Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly. PACE is a Medicare program with a Medicaid service option. It’s designed to bridge some of the gaps in Medicare Parts A-D. You can explore further details on the state websites in the resources below.

PACE coverage might cover the following health care costs:

  • Primary care expenses
  • Medically necessary prescription drugs
  • Transportation to doctor appointments
  • Numerous therapies

To apply for Medicare online, visit the Social Security Administration application website. Contact Portland’s Social Security Administration office or connect with the long-term care ombudsman for your county for assistance with Medicare benefits and Medicare Savings Programs. In addition to Medicare benefits, the local ombudsman can help residents know their rights and serve as a source of further advocacy for seniors.

In Oregon, seniors also have access to Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance (also known as SHIBA). Washington residents have access to a similar program called the Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (also SHIBA), which serves residents in the same capacity as Oregon’s version. In both states, SHIBA is a network of volunteers, trained and dedicated to educate and advocate for Oregonians and Washingtonians who have or need Medicare.

Understand Oregon and Washington laws and regulations for independent living communities

Of the 27 independent living communities in the Portland metro, nine offer assisted living in addition to independent living. Seven offer assisted living and memory care in addition to independent living and 11 offer independent living only.

If an independent living community offers assisted living and/or memory care, they may be subject to regulations for assisted living facilities. Such communities are licensed and regulated by either Oregon’s Community-Based Care team or Washington’s Residential Care Services team, depending on where in the metropolitan area that community is located. Note that the extra regulations may only apply to a facility’s assisted living or memory care wings. If a community offers independent living only, they may only have the local standard apartment regulations.

Regulations in multicare facilities

If an independent living community offers assisted living and memory care services, Community-Based Care and/or Residential Care Services regulate the care that independent living facilities are providing in assisted living or memory care wings. This is to ensure that independent living residents are legally protected from potential mistreatment or neglect.

These rules state that higher-care wings are required to comply with regulations, including but not limited to the following:[11]

  • Facility management and caretakers may not neglect, financially exploit, or abuse residents verbally, mentally, sexually, or physically.
  • Facility management must provide homelike, safe living environment.
  • Facilities must have 24-hour awake staff if residents with dementia are present.
  • Care providers must observe residents for and report changes in overall functioning if the facility is providing care services.

Additionally, residents in independent living have the following rights, according to these same regulations:

  • Residents in independent living should be informed of available care options by their assigned caretakers, and residents should be given the opportunity to select or refuse service, accepting responsibility for the consequences.
  • Residents have freedom from retaliation after exercising their lawful rights.[12]

Regulations in stand-alone independent living facilities

In independent living communities without assisted living, more general regulations might apply, like the following:

  • Landlords or owners must provide waterproof and weatherproof facilities.
  • Owners must keep residences pest-free.
  • Residents must be provided with hot and cold water that’s safe to drink.
  • Heating and air conditioning must be available.
  • Electrical equipment must be properly installed.
  • Appliances provided must be in good working order.
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors must function properly.[13,14]

Under these regulations, there are also certain rules that tenants have to follow. These include things like keeping your home sanitary and not disturbing the neighbors.

Residential and disability rights in Portland

Under Oregon and Washington law, tenants’ rights protect them against potentially unsafe or unfair conditions. This means that units should meet the following standards, to name a few:

  • Landlords cannot discriminate against tenants based on age, gender identity, sexual orientation, parental status, creed, race, disability status, or immigration status.
  • Buildings must be kept up to code by the landlord, with needed repairs made in a timely manner.
  • Landlords must act in accordance with rent raise limitations. For example, they may not be able to raise the rent within the first year or over 10% of your income.
  • Landlords must abide by ADA requirements as needed.

These rights are enforced in Portland by Building and Development Services (BDS); concerns of violations or complaints can be directed to their email address or helpline.

For seniors with disabilities, ADA requirements might include the following:

  • Landlords must consider disability income payment dates when crafting a payment schedule.
  • Landlords must assign an easy-entry parking spot to the dwelling.
  • Landlords must allow reasonable modifications to a residential dwelling, which might include specialized smoke detectors, widened doorways, or wheelchair ramps, to name a few.
  • Landlords must allow a service animal to live in the residence, even if there’s a no-pet policy in place.

These rights are protected by the Fair Housing Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Section 504.
