Avamere at Hillsboro

Avamere at Hillsboro sits in a spot where the staff really put care and daily life in the front, and you'll find a choice of independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, respite care, and even rehabilitation and transitional care, all in one place, which can make things easier if needs change down the line. Folks living there use spaces they call The Atrium, plus there are 89 apartments and several independent living cottages, so there's some variety depending on what someone's looking for, from studio and one-bedroom assisted living apartments to two-bedroom cottages that start at $5,326 a month, while memory care studios range up to $13,478, and there are set fees for community and pets. Residents don't have to worry about basics like housekeeping or maintenance, since staff take care of that, and the place has lots of the things people expect now-a dining room with restaurant-style meals, a library, computer room, landscaped grounds with walking paths and a courtyard pond, plus a fitness center and classes, indoor seating areas, and pet-friendly spots. Memory care is set up with two secured spaces and specialized programming for people with Alzheimer's and other kinds of memory loss, designed to really tailor support while keeping folks safe, and there's help for daily activities in assisted living, with nurses, physical and occupational therapists, even podiatry and dental care, all coming in as needed. There's a full calendar of activities, so plenty to keep busy, whether that's social events, educational programs, or just spending time outdoors in one of the common areas, and while staff are around 24 hours and safety features like emergency call systems are in place, the whole place is set up to feel comfortable and dignified, not clinical. The community does wellness checks, medication reminders, and offers things like hospice, in-house transportation, and even access to devotional services, both onsite and offsite, so there's room for different routines. Pets can come along with a fee, and there's a focus on individualized care that tries to match support with what each person actually needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule, which can matter as things change over the years. The facility's won an award-the American Health Care Association's Bronze Commitment to Quality-so staff know what they're doing, and people can choose virtual or in-person tours to see the details for themselves without any pressure to make a decision right away.
