What to Consider About Assisted Living in Tigard

Assisted living facilities and residential care facilities in Tigard and across the state are licensed by the Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Licensing and Regulatory Oversight. Every facility must be inspected once every two years to determine whether it’s being maintained and operated per the licensing rules.

Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center is regionally ranked #9 in Oregon and rated top performing in seven adult procedures and conditions.
