What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pendleton

When seniors wrap up in a bright Pendleton wool shirt or blanket to keep warm, they have reason to be grateful to this Eastern Oregon town, where the Pendleton Woolen Mills is one of the largest employers. Pendleton is also home to four assisted living facilities, all of which provide room and board to aging seniors within a secure and comfortable residential setting. These assisted living communities also provide personal care services that include medication management and assistance with the activities of daily living, such as grooming, bathing and eating. All assisted living facilities in Pendleton, and all of Oregon, are licensed by the state's Department of Human Services.
