Fanno Creek by Elite Care is a peaceful assisted living community located in Tigard, Oregon, tucked away in a tranquil, residential neighborhood. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and winding walking paths across 2.5 acres, the community is adjacent to the namesake creek and a serene wetlands preserve, offering residents the joys of nature, birdwatching, and quiet reflection just outside their doors. The charming downtown of Tigard’s Main Street lies less than a mile away, within easy walking distance, but the ambiance on campus remains cozy, quiet, and imbued with the restful spirit of the surrounding landscape.
Designed with intention, Fanno Creek comprises just two houses, cultivating an exclusive and tight-knit sense of belonging among its residents. The smaller community size allows for close relationships to naturally develop, not only between residents themselves but also with the dedicated Elite Care team members. Weekly house meetings are a cornerstone of life here, encouraging open communication, fostering transparency, and ensuring that resident voices are prioritized in everyday decision-making processes. Communal areas are large and inviting, offering ample space for residents to socialize comfortably with visiting friends and family members.
One of the signature features of Fanno Creek is the more than 100-year-old barn, which serves as a hub for fireside chats, special events, painting, planting, and other engaging activities. The barn, alongside the extensive and wheelchair-accessible gardens, provides enriching opportunities for residents to enjoy the outdoors and participate in hands-on gardening, where they can help grow tomatoes, fruit, and vegetables that are harvested and shared year-round.
The kitchen and dining experience at Fanno Creek have been carefully crafted to evoke the warmth and inclusivity of a true home. Kitchens are positioned at the heart of each house, open and welcoming rather than tucked away, extending the mealtime experience to everyone present. Residents, staff, and family members share meals together family-style, reinforcing bonds and creating a multigenerational environment where conversations flow easily and community ties are strengthened at every meal. Family members are welcome and encouraged to participate not only by sharing food but by engaging with all residents, contributing to the supportive daily rhythm.
Fanno Creek’s private suites are thoughtfully designed with tall ceilings that give a sense of spaciousness and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light and offer sweeping views of the surrounding greenery. Each suite features a living room, bedroom, and a large, accessible bathroom with pocket doors to enhance safety and maximize usable space. One and two-bedroom suites are available, and couples are never separated based on different levels of care.
