What to Consider About Assisted Living in West Linn

The Oregon Department of Human Services regulates assisted living facilities and other residential care homes in West Linn and the rest of Oregon. It licenses all communities and ensures facilities adhere to rules and regulations to deliver a minimum standard of care to all residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in West Linn

  • At 221 per 100,000 people, the physician-to-resident ratio in West Linn is higher than the national norm of 210. The city also has several small medical facilities, including West Linn Family Health Center and the Northwest Primary Care West Linn, which specializes in chronic disease management and dementia care.
  • The cost of living in West Linn is 32% above the U.S. average, mainly impacted by inflated housing costs, which are 85% higher than elsewhere in the country. However, seniors residing in assisted living can save 8% on utilities when energy bills are an additional charge on the monthly rental.
  • Seniors pay income tax on private and public pensions and all withdrawals from retirement accounts, including 401(k) and IRA accounts. However, Social Security payments are exempt from taxation. West Linn retirees also benefit from the lowest property tax rate in Clackamas County and Oregon's lack of sales tax.
  • West Linn and the Portland metro area are well-served by the TriMet bus system. Seniors aged 65+, veterans and people who are disabled qualify for reduced fares, allowing them to save up to 72% on regular prices. Older adults and those unable to use public transportation due to disabilities can access door-to-door transportation via Ride Connection, a private, nonprofit organization serving Clackamas, Washington and Multnomah counties.
  • On a scale of 1 to 100, West Linn has a violent crime rating of 6.8, 70% lower than the U.S. norm. At 20 per 100,000 inhabitants, property crime rates are also below the national median of 35.4 and significantly lower than both the Oregon and Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro area rankings of 43.4 and 42.7, respectively.
