Providence Brookside Manor is an assisted living and memory care community located in the beautiful scenery of Hood River, Oregon, at the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. This residence is part of a thoughtfully designed senior living environment that prioritizes both comfort and medical support, offering a continuum of living styles to suit seniors at different stages of life. The community focuses on creating a home-like atmosphere while providing access to necessary medical care, social activities, and personal assistance, all under the guidance of skilled and compassionate staff.
Designed to encourage both independence and community engagement, Brookside Manor offers spacious assisted living apartments where residents can enjoy the familiarity of their own furnishings and a high level of privacy.

The living experience is further enriched by rotating menus featuring a variety of delicious meals and à la carte options such as crab cakes, BLT sandwiches, and Caesar salads. Residents may notify the kitchen in advance to accommodate breakfast and meal preferences, ensuring dietary needs and personal tastes are honored.
The community delivers seven levels of care, tailored to individual requirements and ensuring that every resident's unique needs are addressed. Trained staff are present around the clock, working under the direction of a registered nurse, to provide assistance whenever it is required. Family members can feel confident knowing their loved ones are supported in an engaging, secure, and attentive environment that emphasizes health and safety.
