Mirabella Portland is a tall high-rise building in the South Waterfront area with views of downtown, Mount Hood, and the river, and it's a not-for-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community that's been operating since 2011, offering a full range of care like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even post-acute nursing, so there's options for people as needs change without having to move out. The building has 44 licensed beds, Medicare certification, and maintains a 5 out of 5 Medicare rating thanks to good health and safety practices, staff levels, and overall quality. People live in different kinds of units-studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom places, and some have walk-in closets, full kitchens, emergency call systems, and wall-to-wall carpets, and units also include cable TV, air conditioning, washers and dryers, in-room kitchenettes, and private dens depending on the layout, so there's quite a few ways to settle in.
Residents use shared spaces like a fireplace lounge, outdoor gardens, several dining rooms, a library, woodworking shop, computer center, salon and barbershop, pool, saunas, steam rooms, fitness areas, parking, and more, and even pets are allowed. There's WiFi throughout, laundry and cleaning services, transportation options including shuttle and valet, security, and maintenance staff on call every hour of the day, so people get help with whatever they need like medication, bathing, getting dressed, and even incontinence care or diabetes support. Mirabella Portland has about 41 current occupants in its skilled nursing, and it keeps a staff of more than 300 people, with nurses, occupational and physical therapists providing medical and therapy services right on site.
Meals are included, prepared by an executive chef and a kitchen team, and residents can eat in a few places, like the formal dining room called Aria East on the 24th floor with big windows, the casual Dolce Vita Bistro, the Aqua Vita Lounge for drinks, plus a café and first-floor bistro and even outdoor terraces; they'll make room delivery and cater to special diets too.
Social life features clubs, arts-and-crafts, book groups, happy hours, resident-run activities, concerts, movie nights, woodworking, gardening, organized trips around town, daily exercise, yoga, pickleball, lectures, and devotional programs-it's a long list and there's something every day, including wellness programs that touch on physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional health. Friends and relatives can stay connected thanks to outreach and family education services, and there's resources for newcomers like FAQs, information sessions, and community-sponsored events to make everyone feel included. People don't have to leave if their needs grow because the property provides a blend of services right under one roof, from basic housing with meals all the way to 24-hour nursing, memory care, and post-acute rehabilitation.
The location puts people right near parks, streetcar lines, restaurants, and cultural events so it's easy to get out and enjoy what Portland offers, but there's plenty inside too, with activities and support to encourage a secure, active, and social life in a modern urban building that tries to keep things both comfortable and engaging as people age.
