The 5 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Roseburg, OR for 2024

Set within the stunning scenery of the Umpqua River Valley, Roseburg is a city of approximately 23,700 residents, with a far above-average 22.1% in the 65 and over age group. The city offers a low cost of living, affordable transportation services, below-average rates of violent crime and quality health care facilities for residents and veterans. Also, it’s easy to travel up to Oregon’s most populous cities or down to California, as the I-5 runs through the city.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Roseburg

The Office of Safety, Oversight and Quality, a division of the Department of Human Services, regulates and licenses assisted living facilities in Oregon. The division has the authority to conduct unannounced inspections to determine if licensed facilities continue to uphold standards. It can also revoke licenses from those that fail to comply with license conditions.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Roseburg

  • One of the benefits of residing in Roseburg is the cost of living, which Sperling’s BestPlaces gives an overall index of 90.7. This is significantly below the state and national indices of 113.1 and 100, respectively. As a consequence, it’s fair to say seniors are likely to get more for their money in Roseburg.
  • Roseburg’s crime statistics show the city in both good and bad light. BestPlaces ranks its level of violent crime at 16.7, which is notably below the U.S. average of 22.7. However, property crime ranks at 78.5, which is more than double the national average of 35.4. Those worried about crime in Roseburg may be pleased to know assisted living facilities always have staff on-site, and most provide security and surveillance systems as standard.
  • Roseburg has a good Comfort Index of 7.6 out of 10. The index relates to how comfortable the city’s climate is for residents. Summer’s temperatures average around 83 degrees, with generally low rainfall — although some humid days between June and August are likely. Winter is colder, with temperatures averaging a chilly 36 degrees. However, it doesn’t often fall below freezing point, so slippery sidewalks aren’t frequent and snowfall is rare.
  • The city’s Health Cost index of 96/100 is good. Air quality is a little below the norm, but not unhealthy, while water quality is better than average. Roseburg is also on par with other U.S. cities in removing contaminated land as per EPA’s Superfund program.
  • The primary medical facility in Roseburg is Mercy Medical Center, a 174-bed full-service hospital ranked high-performing by U.S. News and World Report in heart attack, heart failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease treatment. Veterans and their families can access the Roseburg VA Medical Center.
  • Dial-A-Ride is a curb-to-curb transportation service for adults aged 60 and older and persons with disabilities. Wheelchair-accessible buses provide shared rides throughout North Douglas County and Roseburg on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., except on public holidays.
