What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sherwood
When it was founded in 1889, Sherwood was originally called Smockville, but no one, not even the Smock family, liked the name, so they voted for the change of name. In Sherwood, seniors have a choice of two assisted living facilities, with another 58 available in nearby cities of Portland, Beaverton and Tuallitin. These assisted living communities all provide room and board to seniors in a comfortable residential setting. Personal care services offered typically include medication management as well as help with daily living activities. All assisted care facilities in Oregon are licensed by the state's Department of Human Services.
