The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Tualatin, OR for 2024

 

Known for its picturesque wineries, scenic parks and dining and entertainment amenities, Tualatin offers a welcoming backdrop for retirement living. Its low violent crime rate and comfortable weather support an active lifestyle, and access to hospitals, such as Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center, make it a practical option for those managing ongoing health conditions. Of the city’s 28,000 residents, about 13% are aged 65 and over, creating the need for long-term care solutions.

Assisted living is one of the most popular senior care options in Tualatin for older adults who need daily assistance. In general, assisted living residents don’t need extensive medical support, but they have challenges with daily activities, such as meal planning and preparation, personal care and housekeeping. To meet these needs, assisted living facilities have trained caregivers who administer personal care services according to individualized care plans, and they provide daily meals and regular housekeeping services. On average, seniors in Tualatin pay $4,975 per month for this level of care, which is higher than the national average of $4,500 but comparable to the state norm of $5,045.

This guide provides more information on assisted living in Tualatin, including details on how seniors pay for long-term care costs.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Tualatin

In Tualatin, as well as in the rest of Oregon, all assisted living facilities must obtain licensing through the Oregon Department of Human Services, Community-Based Care Facility Licensing division. This agency enforces rules related to staffing and staff training, move-in and move-out procedures and care planning. It also provides information on how to use its abuse reporting system.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Tualatin

 

  • In Tualatin, seniors pay state income taxes on most forms of retirement income. Rates range from 4.75% to 9.90%, and the state doesn’t provide any deductions or exemptions to reduce what seniors owe on their annual earnings. Fortunately, Social Security benefits are entirely tax-exempt, which may help some older adults afford local assisted living expenses.
  • Tualatin residents enjoy pleasant weather throughout the year, making the city an attractive retirement option for active seniors. On a 10-point comfort index, the city scores 9.3 compared to the national score of 7.8. Year-round temperatures range from lows of 36 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to highs of 81 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, and the city gets about 42 inches of rain and just 2 inches of snow.
  • Property crime occurs at a higher frequency in Tualatin than in a typical U.S. city, but violent crime is comparatively rare. On a 100-point index that gives higher scores to cities with more prevalent crime, the city scores 41.7 for property-related offenses versus 35.4 nationally. Violent crime is uncommon, however, earning the city a score of 9.8 compared to the national score of 22.7. Fortunately, assisted living facilities often have surveillance systems in place, giving seniors and their families peace of mind. 
  • The overall cost of living in Tualatin is about 28% higher than the national norm and 14 percentage points over what’s typical for Oregon, which may be a consideration for those with limited financial resources. Housing costs are very high in this city and transportation and grocery costs run higher than national norms, but choosing assisted living over living independently may enable some seniors to reduce their overall living expenses.
  • Health care costs in Tualatin are about 17% lower than national norms, promoting the financial stability of seniors managing chronic health conditions.
