You’ll find the historic river city of Albany, Oregon in the heart of the Willamette Valley where the Calapooia and Willamette Rivers meet. Half an hour south of the capital city of Salem, nestled between the Oregon coast and the Cascade Mountains, Albany is easily accessible from all parts of the state.
A living museum of many architectural styles that mark the phases of the city’s growth, Albany is a blend of the historic and the best of the 21st century. This balance creates a great community for seniors looking for a nursing home in Albany.
It’s important to understand the distinctions between different types of long-term care when selecting the right type of community for your loved one. A nursing home is a facility that provides skilled nursing care for seniors with chronic illnesses or disabilities who no longer are able to care for themselves. Assisted living homes are for seniors who need some help with daily personal activities such as bathing, taking medications and meals but do not require constant medical care. See our article on Albany assisted living for more information.
