What to Consider About Assisted Living in Tillamook

This small coastal town with a population of about 5,000 residents is located on the southeast end of Tillamook Bay on the Pacific Ocean. Tillamook is a foodie's paradise. It’s home to the Tillamook Cheese Factory, Debbie D’s Sausage Factory and Pacific Oyster, to name just a few of the local producers.

About 14% of Tillamook’s residents are aged 65 and older, and the city provides three assisted living communities to serve them. ALFs in Oregon require an apartment-like unit with a private bath and kitchenette. Residential care facilities (RCFs) may offer shared rooms and baths. The Oregon Department of Human Services licenses both ALFs and RCFs in Tillamook and the rest of the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Tillamook

  • Tillamook has an array of community resources for seniors, including NorthWest Senior and Disabilities Service. This intergovernmental agency provides seniors in five Oregon counties with a variety of programs, activities and resources.
  • Oregon does not tax Social Security retirement benefits, but income from other retirement accounts is taxed at the full state rate. The good news for budget-conscious seniors in Tillamook is that Oregon does not impose a sales tax on purchases.
  • Tillamook's cost of living is nearly 2% higher than the U.S. average. This is primarily due to the price of housing, but seniors do pay about 13% more for groceries. Other expenses, including healthcare, transportation and utilities, are less than the national average, possibly leading to significant savings for seniors.
  • A relatively high Sperling’s Comfort Index score of 77 out of 100 reflects Tillamook's comfortable year-round temperatures that range from 39-69 degrees. But seniors should note that Tillamook receives, on average, 94 inches of annual rainfall. That’s significantly more rain than the national average of 38 inches.
  • Tillamook’s violent crime ranking of 12.2 out of 100 is about half that of the U.S. average of 22.7. However, property crime is about 10 points higher than the national average. Tillamook scores a 46.2 for burglary, arson and vehicle theft, while the U.S. average is 35.4. Seniors should ensure the facility they choose is properly equipped with security systems.
  • The Tillamook area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Adventist Health Tillamook, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
