The vibrant city of Portland is listed among the best retirement destinations in the United States in Caring’s 2019 Senior Living Report for its high access to health care, low-cost housing options, public transportation system and general quality of life. On average, seniors in this city pay $7,146 for home care, which includes non-specialized services such as companionship, housekeeping and meal preparation. Unlike home health care, in-home care doesn’t include medical services such as occupational therapy or disease monitoring. Fortunately, seniors can obtain services such as these at several outstanding hospitals nearby, including OHSA Hospital and Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Portland area – complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
The Portland region has several agencies that provide services and supports to older adults, helping them remain in their homes for as long as possible. Through the following resources, which include the local senior center, Area Agency on Aging and Meals on Wheels, seniors can obtain services to supplement paid home care.

Hollywood Senior Center | (503) 288-8303 | The Hollywood Senior Center has case managers who help older adults access community-based services that may help them remain in their own homes. The center also provides congregate meals, referrals for local agencies and a range of recreational and social activities. |

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
