Situated on the Willamette River in the northwestern region of Oregon, Wilsonville is a charming community near world-class cultural, entertainment and shopping and dining amenities. The city has a large senior community that makes up about 15% of its 27,000 residents, which it accommodates through a low crime rate, pleasant weather throughout the year and access to health care amenities in nearby cities, such as Tualatin and Portland.

In general, assisted living residents don’t require extensive medical support but need help with day-to-day activities, such as housekeeping, meal preparation and personal care. Facilities are staffed with compassionate, highly trained caregivers who provide hands-on assistance, and they serve daily meals and organize social and recreational activities throughout the week. In Wilsonville, seniors pay $4,975 per month for assisted living, which is higher than the national norm of $4,500 but slightly lower than Oregon’s average of $5,045.
