Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bend

  • Health care costs in Bend are 8.1% less than the national average, although they’re slightly higher than the overall average for Oregon. This helps offset the cost of living in Bend, which is higher than both the national and Oregon averages. 
  • Bend offers a diverse array of outdoor recreation opportunities. Options include hiking, biking, fishing, hunting and simply relaxing and enjoying a picnic at one of the area’s many parks. 
  • Bend has one hospital, St. Charles Hospital, but the city is within driving distance of Portland, which has a number of highly rated medical facilities, including OSHU, a teaching and research hospital offering state-of-the-art services. 
  • Oregon is moderately tax-friendly for seniors. Although there’s no sales tax in Oregon, retirement income other than Social Security is subject to state income tax. 
  • Bend has a slightly lower property crime rate than a typical U.S. city. Its violent crime rate, however, is pretty much on par with the national average. 
  • Although Oregon has a reputation for being a rainy, gray state, Bend is located on the east side of the Cascade Mountain Range, which means it gets less rain and more sun than the western part of the state. With only 11 inches of rain per year, Bend gets less precipitation than the national average.

Assisted Living Laws and Regulations in Bend
