Retirement & Assisted Living Directory — Washington, Yamhill, Tillamook & Multnomah County, Oregon
From independent living to memory care, here’s a directory of licensed senior living options serving Washington, Yamhill, Tillamook, and Multnomah County. Levels of care and availability change — please contact each community directly for current information. Facility status has been cross-checked against Oregon’s official Licensed Long-Term Care Settings Search where the facility type is state-regulated (assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, adult foster homes); independent-living-only communities aren’t part of that state database.
Washington County listing cross-checked against Oregon’s Licensed Long-Term Care Settings Search, the Oregon Health Care Association, and community websites — confirm current details directly with each community.

Independent, Assisted, Memory Care — full continuum
Tillamook County has a small number of licensed communities (verified against Oregon’s state licensing database — Kilchis House was excluded because state records show it closed in 2022). A few smaller adult foster homes may also be available; see ltclicensing.oregon.gov. Confirm current details and openings directly with each community.
Multnomah County (greater Portland) has dozens of licensed communities — the ones above are a starting point near the Washington County line. For entrance-fee Continuing Care Retirement Communities in Portland, including Mirabella Portland and Terwilliger Plaza, see the Buy-In / CCRC table below. Confirm current details and openings directly with each community.
Buy-In / Continuing Care Retirement Communities
A different model worth knowing about: continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) ask for an upfront entrance fee — often $150,000 to $1,000,000+, partially refundable to your estate depending on the contract — in exchange for guaranteed access to independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing on one campus as your needs change. Monthly fees apply on top of the entrance fee.

Age Requirements, in Plain Terms
There’s no single legal minimum age. Independent/55+ communities generally require at least one resident per household to be 55+. Assisted living communities set their own minimums, typically 62–65, though some accept younger residents with qualifying care needs. Most people move into assisted living much later than any minimum — the average age is around 84.
