Independent Living in Oregon Defined

Independent living is suitable for seniors who are in good health and can go about their daily activities without assistance from others. Seniors who do need help with basic tasks, like bathing, dressing or eating, would not be eligible for a place in an Oregon independent living community. In this situation, an assisted living facility would be more suitable. You can find Oregon assisted living facilities in our Assisted Living category. Those with memory loss problems, such as Alzheimer's and dementia, would also not be eligible for a place at an independent living community, as they would be better suited in a home that provides specialized memory care. You can find Oregon memory care facilities in our Memory Care category. Back to Top
