What to Consider About Assisted Living in Clackamas

As a Portland suburb, Clackamas offers seniors the benefits of city life but without the inconveniences of hectic urban centers. Clackamas is set within Clackamas County and is also included in the recreational Mt. Hood Territory, offering a variety of cultural and recreational activities seniors can explore.

Like all of Oregon, Clackamas' Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) are licensed through the Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Licensing and Regulatory Oversight. ALFs are required to house at least six residents in individual units, with 24-hour access to supportive services in a homelike setting. There are two ALFs available within Clackamas' borders and 58 other options in the surrounding areas.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Clackamas

For eligible Oregon seniors, the state's Medicaid program offers some options to ease the costs of assisted living.
