Park Forest Care Center sits in the Rose City Park neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, and it stands as a retirement care community offering support for seniors who need different levels of care, and you'll find people living pretty independent lives, and some who need more help due to memory loss or health problems, and there's folks who just need a little help with daily activities like dressing, bathing, or getting to meals, and the staff provides around-the-clock nursing and personal care, so someone's always there if needed, and they do their best to keep the place clean, comfortable, and safe, which a lot of families and residents have noticed in reviews. They have a program called Expressions Memory Care for those living with memory-related illnesses like Alzheimer's, and the environment's set up to help reduce confusion and keep wandering to a minimum, and there's different sorts of therapies available-things like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, especially for those who come for rehabilitation after surgery or illness, or folks who need longer-term care, and people can get help with Medicaid or Medicare health plans. Residents get medical, psychiatric, social, and even spiritual support if they want it, and for those nearing the end of life, there's hospice care available, and the care is all tailored to what each person needs, since everyone's situation is a bit different, and the staff speaks English. There are exercise programs and other activities aimed at helping people stay as active as possible, and those who need skilled or nursing home care can get those services without needing to move. Many families say the staff's friendly and kind, and they like how the communication's kept open so everyone knows how their loved one's doing day-to-day. Park Forest Care Center runs under Prestige Care, which is a family-owned business, and the place has earned good review scores thanks to happy residents and positive reports about therapy and staff. The community takes pride in offering different care options-Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, and Memory Care-so seniors can get the care they need as their needs change, whether it's help with rehab, managing memory conditions, or support with basic daily routines, and it seems that everyone tries to make the environment feel as much like home as possible.

8643 NE Beech St, Portland, OR, 97220- Assisted living
- Memory care
- Skilled nursing
Compassionate staff, facility poorly managed
I had a mixed, mostly disappointing stay. Several nurses and rehab therapists were excellent, compassionate and communicative, and the courtyard/activities had bright spots, but the facility is run-down and often smells of urine. Staffing and training are inadequate - long waits, inattentive care, missed meds, poor orientation/discharge planning - and the food is cold/inedible with no menu or activities calendar. Safety and management issues (including a reported wallet theft and defensive responses) leave me reluctant to recommend it unless you need specific strong nursing or therapy staff.
