What to Consider About Assisted Living in Medford

Medford, Oregon, the Jackson County seat, is home to more than 81,000 residents. The city is perhaps best known as the home of the Harry and David Corporation, the largest direct marketer of fruits and food gifts in the United States.

Oregon state law defines an assisted living facility (ALF) as having six or more residents in a homelike setting with or without care. The 14 ALFs in and around Medford are regulated by the Oregon Department of Human Services

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Medford

  • Medford has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Rogue Valley Council of Governments (RVCG), an agency that offers meals, nutrition services and transportation for residents age 60 and older, as well as a senior center. 
  • The cost of living in Medford, Oregon is somewhat high. Although the cost of groceries are reasonable, the overall cost of living is eight percent higher than the national average. This could be an issue for seniors trying to make ends meet on a fixed income.
  • Medford, and the Rogue Valley, is noted for its wet fall and winter seasons, mild winter temperatures and hot, dry summers. The average high temperature in Medford in January is 47 degrees Fahrenheit, and the average high temperature in July is 88 degrees. The moisture in this climate could aggravate chronic joint conditions like arthritis.
  • The crime rate in Medford is one of the worst in the State or Oregon and is getting steadily worse. It has risen by 14 percent in recent years and is 166 percent higher than the national average. This is concerning for all residents, especially seniors and their families.
  • Medford offers a myriad of transportation options. For seniors with cars, I-5 cuts through the city and connects Medford to Eugene to the north and Reading, California to the south. Rogue Valley Transportation District operates public bus transportation within the city, Monday through Saturday. The system offers reduced fares to riders age 62 and older who obtain a reduced fare card. In addition, Call a Ride offers on-demand transporation to seniors for non-emergency needs.
  • The Medford, Oregon area is home to world-class medical facilities including Asante Rouge Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
