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

Gladstone is located in scenic Clackamas County, Oregon. Although it’s just 12 miles south of Portland, the state’s largest city, it retains a pleasant small-town feel. The community is home to approximately 12,000 residents, including 2,090 seniors who represent an above-average percentage of the population.

Seniors aged 65 and older are more likely to require long-term care. Assisted living services can also provide peace of mind for healthy, independent adults by giving them access to medication reminders and one-on-one support any time it’s needed. These facilities are more flexible and more affordable than skilled nursing facilities, which provide 24-hour medical care. Locally, seniors can expect to pay $4,975 per month for assisted living, which is higher than the national average but similar to other parts of the state.

In this guide, seniors will find information about the benefits and drawbacks of living in Gladstone, along with information about assisted living prices locally and across the region. The guide concludes with a directory of local agencies that connect older adults to supportive services to help them age as independently as possible.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Gladstone

In Oregon, assisted living facilities, residential care facilities and special care units are licensed by the Community-Based Care division of the Oregon Department of Human Services. This agency is responsible for ensuring facilities comply with all applicable health and safety regulations.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Gladstone

  • Nearby Portland is a member of AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly State and Communities, which means more senior-oriented services and amenities are available in the local area. Clackamas County provides a comprehensive array of senior services, including transportation, companionship and housing assistance.
  • Gladstone is a desirable suburban area, although the community’s cost of living is higher than average due to its proximity to Portland. Overall, residents pay 22% more for essentials compared to the typical American, which may impact retirees and others who depend on a fixed income. However, health care costs here are lower than in the typical U.S. city, which may benefit seniors with chronic health conditions.
  • Quality health care options abound in Gladstone and the Portland metropolitan area. Local facilities include the Providence Portland Medical Center, OHSU Hospital, Sunnyside Medical Center and VA Portland Health Care System. As a bonus, medical care costs about 15% less than average.
  • Despite Gladstone’s proximity to a major metropolitan area, it’s safer than most parts of the state. In 2019, the community reported about 19.4 incidents per 10,000 residents. Assisted living facilities provide a variety of internal and external security measures to protect residents’ safety.
  • One of the area’s drawbacks is its poor air quality. Clackamas County received a D rating for ozone pollution from the American Lung Association. Its air quality is lower than the national average, which is more likely to affect seniors and individuals who have asthma, COPD, heart conditions or respiratory ailments. However, assisted living facilities generally provide indoor activities year-round to accommodate residents with health issues.
  • Gladstone’s pleasant climate is another plus for the area. Although winters can be harsh with 14 inches of snow and average lows in the mid-30s, summers are mild with highs around 80 degrees. The area receives more rain and fewer sunny days than the typical U.S. city. Most assisted living facilities provide individual climate controls to keep residents comfortable, regardless of the weather.
