Situated less than six miles from Ashland, Oregon, Talent is a small town of slightly less than 6,300 citizens with a charming downtown core that hosts events such as Friday evening community gatherings that feature live music, fresh produce and crafts vendors. Seniors who choose here are in good company — approximately 22.7% of Talent’s population is aged 65 and over. Oregon also offers a moderately tax-friendly environment for seniors. Although most retirement income is subject to state income tax, Oregon doesn’t tax Social Security payments, and there is no state sales tax.
Assisted living facilities are designed for seniors who don’t need a nursing home level of care but do need extra help with some of the basic tasks of daily living. Services that may be provided by these facilities include housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry and linen services, and assistance with bathing, dressing and grooming. Seniors in Talent pay an average of $4,640 per month for assisted living, which is several hundred dollars lower than the average for Oregon and $164 higher than the national average.
This guide provides an introduction to assisted living in Talent. It also includes cost comparisons and a list of resources for seniors.

The Weatherly Inn assisted living community was very nice. They had excellent facilities, and it looked like they took excellent care of the people that were there. I was very satisfied with it.
The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. She knew exactly where everything that she needed to tell me was and what I needed to know. She answered all the questions that I needed to be answered. It was perfect, I couldn’t find a better place.
The dining area was nice. I’d want to live there myself. The rooms were beautiful and there was plenty of room to roam around in it. The studio apartment was nice and big. The 1-bedroom apartment was really big too.
The place was very clean, nothing was out of order, and it was very nice. You can also get fed 24-7 with everything that they got. They had little snacks so if you want a snack in between their dinners, you can go get some and they’d bring it to you if you needed it or you could go get it yourself.

COVID-19 Rules for Assisted Living in Talent
Since most COVID-19 rules for Assisted Living Communities and other Senior Living Facilities are set at the state level, you can view the specific rules for your state on our Guide to Assisted Living in Oregon. Keep in mind that every community has specific policies that they put in place to protect their residents, so you should contact your local community for more information. Additionally, you can contact your local Area Agency on Aging to learn more – find contact information here.
What to Consider About Assisted Living in Talent
Long-term care facilities in Oregon are overseen by the Oregon Department of Human Services. This agency conducts periodic inspections and resident surveys to help ensure that facilities continue to maintain licensing standards and are complying with all relevant state and federal rules and regulations.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Talent
- With mild winters and less rainfall than the national average, the climate in Talent is appealing to seniors who enjoy having access to outdoor activities all year round. Talent gets an average of four inches of snow per year, which is just enough for those who appreciate occasional snowfall but don’t want to live with it for the entire winter. Summers are warm, and there are nearly 40 days each year when summer daytime temperatures rise to about 90 degrees.
- Because Talent has a lower crime rate than most U.S. cities, seniors don’t have to worry as much about being the targets of in-person crimes such as mugging or carjacking.
- Although the overall cost of living in Talent is slightly higher than the national average, it’s significantly lower than the overall average for Oregon, making it a good choice for seniors seeking a Pacific Northwest lifestyle without the often hefty price tag that comes with it.
- Seniors in Talent will have no trouble keeping busy. Those who love live theater will appreciate being in close proximity to Ashland’s renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The area also hosts several smaller festivals and community-based activities such as the Talent Harvest Festival and the Talent Art & Music Festival.
- Those who enjoy big city life may have trouble getting used to the slower pace of life in Talent. The closest city, Medford, has a population of approximately 86,000 citizens and may not have all the urban amenities associated with larger metros.
While the air quality in Talent is reported as good, recent years have shown an increase in wildfire activity in Southern Oregon, and wildfire smoke may contribute to respiratory issues. Seniors should stay inside during these events.
Paying for Assisted Living in Talent
According to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, the average monthly cost of assisted living in Talent is $4,640. The overall average for Oregon is $5,045 per month, while the national monthly average is $4,500.
The Cost of Assisted Living in Nearby Cities
The cost of assisted living in other Oregon communities range from a high of $5,623 in Eugene to a low of $4,485 in Corvallis. Those in Oregon’s largest city, Portland, pay an average of $4,975 per month, while their counterparts in Oregon’s capital city, Salem, pay an average of $5,500.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Residents of Talent have several other options for senior care besides assisted living. The most affordable choice is adult day health care at an average of $1,408 per month, while the most expensive option is nursing home care at $10,889 per month for a private room and $10,190 for a semiprivate room. Homemaker services and home health care both average $6,101 per month in Talent.

Note: Data for Talent was unavailable, so data for the nearest city, Medford, was used instead.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Talent
Oregon Medicaid has four programs to help eligible seniors cover the costs associated with assisted living. The K Plan, or Community First Choice (CFC) plan, offers long-term supports to avoid nursing home placement and the Independent Choices Program (ICP) provides monthly cash payments to allow self-managed care. The other two programs are Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, which include the Aged and Physically Disabled (APD) waiver to prevent nursing home placement and the Client-Employed Provider (CEP) program to allow seniors to choose their care providers.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Oregon page.
More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
- Veterans Benefits
- Life Insurance Policy
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Reverse Mortgage
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Oregon page.
