Providence Down Manor in Hood River, Oregon sits at 1950 Sterling Place and gives seniors a calm and easy place to retire, with everything from independent living to skilled nursing and memory care, giving people a lot of choices depending on their needs. The apartments are roomy, some even come with two bedrooms, walk-in closets, and small kitchens, plus private patios or balconies, and you'll find each one has cable and Wi-Fi so staying connected isn't a problem, and with pet-friendly rules, folks can bring cats and dogs up to 25 pounds, sometimes even bigger pets with exceptions. The place stands out for being part of Providence Senior Village, with a full range of health care, like on-site nurses and doctors, physical therapists, occupational and speech therapy, and even Medicare-certified home health care if someone needs help after a hospital stay, and if things get more serious, they offer skilled nursing, hospice, respite, and memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia.
Three meals a day are served with a focus on nutrition and good ingredients, and you get vegetarian and kosher options too, plus the monthly rent covers most utilities except the phone, making life simpler, and housekeeping is done regularly so residents don't have that extra worry. People living here can enjoy a big choice of activities-a schedule full of events like book clubs, water aerobics, golf outings, shuffleboard, bingo, and even devotional services, helping keep both mind and body active, while the indoor and outdoor spaces, TV room, patio, gardens, fitness room, tennis court, and beauty shop give plenty of places to relax or socialize. There's an easy system for getting rides to doctors, stores, and group trips, and when someone finds themselves needing more help, trained staff offer support with bathing, toileting, wheelchair use, medication management, and even running errands or grocery shopping.
The facility has strong safety, with a no-smoking rule inside, wheelchair accessible showers, and a team on duty around the clock for emergencies or medical needs. They give residents and families support with bill paying and estimates, plus offer online tools like MyChart for scheduling and paying bills, and you can even see a doctor remotely or arrange same-day care if something comes up fast. Providence Down Manor gets a high review rating of 8.5 and is recognized as a Best of Senior Living location, with many residents saying the friendly, homelike environment and busy activity calendar help make retirement enjoyable and social, letting folks keep their hobbies and build new friendships as their needs and lives change.
