10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Grants Pass, OR for 2024

Grants Pass is a city in the Rogue Valley region of southwest Oregon that has nearly 40,000 residents. One in every five people in the community is 65 and older. A reasonable cost of living, mild weather and good water quality may be just a few reasons why its senior density is so high. They have access to Asante Three Rivers Medical Center, a high-performing hospital within city limits.

Some seniors in Grants Pass reside in assisted living facilities because they need help with routine activities, such as bathing, grooming, housekeeping and taking medication. Those who need more support and a high level of medical supervision are better off in nursing facilities. Seniors who need no or very limited assistance may prefer living at home or in an independent living community. The average cost for assisted living in Grants Pass is $5,570.

Families can use this guide to compare the cost of assisted living in Grants Pass with other cities in Oregon and other types of senior care. In addition, links to free resources that can help families with issues related to long-term care are available.
