Avalon Care Center Portland sits in a quiet Portland, OR neighborhood and has 40 beds in a small, home-like setting. Residents can pick private or semi-private rooms, many with views of a secure courtyard that has a gazebo, gardens, and outdoor seating, so there's always some place peaceful to relax or enjoy fresh air, and walking those paths. Residents get three meals a day in two dining rooms, with menus that always try to include fresh fruits and vegetables, and there's always help for those who need special diets or extra support at mealtime. Avalon Care Center Portland is part of the Avalon Health Care group and the staff works with residents and families to build care plans as personal as possible, and everyone gets the care that fits them, not just a standard routine, and that's true whether someone needs skilled nursing, memory care, palliative help for illness, hospice or respite care, or services after surgery like physical, occupational, or speech therapy.
Avalon Care Center Portland keeps round-the-clock nursing available, so when anyone needs help, someone's always close by, and staff can handle things like wound care and medication management, and there's a bariatric program for residents who need special weight support, and staff will also help with medication support and all the usual personal care, bathing, dressing, and just daily living. Residents can see visiting doctors, nurses, and even specialists like podiatry, and therapy programs go past the basics, with activities and exercises built to maintain or even regain memory, mobility, and strength. Rooms come with housekeeping, a cable TV, and accessible showers, and the building meets safety needs with things like a sprinkler system and handicap features throughout. The center has good indoor lighting from skylights and windows, so it feels open, and spaces everywhere are set up for safety, comfort, and easy movement, whether it's a reading corner, the dining room, or the game and fitness areas.
Residents at Avalon Care Center can join in group activities like a garden club, cooking class, musical entertainment, or exercise class, and there are plenty of arts and crafts or wellness programs to keep the mind and body active, but there's also always space and encouragement for quieter hobbies, like art, puzzles, and reading, and everyone's welcome to set their own pace. Avalon also offers internet access, a salon for hair care and grooming, laundry, dry cleaning, and transportation for appointments or trips. The building stays secure, with medical help a button push away in every room, and the outdoor spaces are fenced for safety, so even those needing memory care can enjoy the garden without worry. The staff can help families figure out things like Medicare, Medicaid, waiting lists, financing, and care coordination, and families get regular updates and support to handle planning and any changes that come up.
Avalon Care Center Portland is for people who need skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or memory care in a setting that feels friendly, not overwhelming, with small touches meant to make things brighter and easier but also keep things personal, and while it has all the expected amenities-dining room, salon, wifi, game and activity rooms, guest parking, kitchens and kitchenettes in some rooms, and a good laundry system-it's mostly focused on helping each resident live well, with a support team that pays attention and considers what each person wants or needs, not just for health, but across daily life. Private rooms run about $4,000 to $8,000 per month and semi-private options range from $3,000 to $6,000, with tours and virtual visits available so families can see what the place feels like before making a choice. Avalon Care Center Portland has its state license and inspection records open for review and tries to keep things as open and friendly as possible for residents and their families, working with a small staff who know the importance of comfort, good food, safety, and a place where people matter.
