Troutdale Assisted Living

Troutdale sits at the gateway to the Columbia River Gorge where the Sandy and Columbia Rivers meet. The city grew from a little village along the railroad and river systems to a thriving modern community. Troutdale is a city where seniors can still find that old-time, small-town friendliness.

Troutdale Recreation

Savvy residents of assisted living in Troutdale are sure to find bargains at the Columbia Gorge Premium Outlets. The mall offers 45 outlets for such brands as Easy Spirit, Harry & David and Liz Claiborne.

The shops and services in quaint historic downtown Troutdale complement outlet mall shopping. The monthly First Friday Art Walk encourages senior living residents to browse the art and merchants in historic downtown with a little wine and music.

Troutdale Activities

The three museums of the Troutdale Historical Society preserve the rich history of the area’s early settlers. The Harlow House Museum chronicles the area’s pioneer life. The Rail Depot Museum preserves many railroad artifacts from the 1800’s and early 1900’s. The Barn Museum displays a photographic history of the area with changing exhibits.

The Historical Society hosts events and programs such as the annual Ice Cream Social with fresh strawberry shortcakes heaped with ice cream and whip cream, the annual pioneer cemetery tour guided by a local cemetery historian, and “Treks” that tour museums, historic locations, and scenic byways in both Oregon and Washington.

For a special night out, there’s a variety of entertainment for residents of assisted living in Troutdale to enjoy at McMenamins Edgefield. There’s a brewery, winery, classic pub, six bars, fine dining, a movie theater, artisians, gardens, a distillery, and lodging and hostel accommodations. On the National Register of Historic Places, tours of Edgefield’s renovated buildings and grounds are also available.
