Two are located in the city proper and the other 17 are in nearby cities, including Portland and Tualatin.

Oregon has a separate set of rules and licensing requirements for these communities, and any facility that offers memory care must obtain an endorsement to do so.
- Social Security benefits are tax-exempt in Oregon, meaning that seniors who rely solely on this income will not pay income tax. Other types of retirement income are taxable, though some seniors can claim a credit on that income.
