The Springs at Carman Oaks sits in a quiet neighborhood at the base of Lake Oswego's Mountain Park, tucked among oak and pine trees with paths and rose gardens that make it feel peaceful and relaxed, and when you walk around you'll notice they've got studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences that are age-restricted and designed to make life easier, especially for folks who want less upkeep and more freedom in their independent years, but there are also options for assisted living and memory care, like Footsteps® Memory Care, with programs made for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and everything's set up so care can adjust as needs change over time, which is something a lot of people find helpful. The community covers a wide range of services, including help with daily living such as grooming, dressing, and medication management, and there's always trained staff around, including registered nurses who handle care coordination, and you'll see a wireless emergency call system for safety, with health and wellness staff on-site 24/7 if someone needs it, making it a place where physical, emotional, and social wellness are all taken seriously.
Residents get plenty of ways to stay active and social here, like planned activities, classes, and special events, both on-site and off, including excursions to local shopping or museums and chances to join in on live music, hobby workshops, or hands-on projects, which helps keep days interesting and meaningful, and you'll find amenities like an indoor heated pool and spa, a wellness studio, fitness center, and even a private movie theater for entertainment, while common spaces such as Fancho's Public House, the fireside patio, and other sitting areas invite people to gather and spend time together. There's a pet-friendly policy, which means most pets are welcome to live alongside their owners, and for those who need spiritual support, the community holds devotional services right on site.
Meals are provided in various dining rooms, including Pacific Ridge and Fancho's Pub, and there's even a beautician on-site if you need a haircut or want to feel a bit more put together, which is nice for those who don't want to travel for appointments. Outdoors, the grounds include walking paths and gardens where residents can relax or go for a stroll, and with amenities like wheelchair accessibility and options for personal training and group fitness classes, people at different ability levels can participate. The facility has 145 beds, offers memory care, assisted living, and independent living, and describes itself as a senior retirement community that supports staying active, building relationships, and leading a life full of interests and connection, all within a setting built by The Springs Living, a family-run company focused on treating aging with dignity.
