Glisan Care Center
9750 NE Glisan Street, Portland, OR, 97220
Home to renowned rose gardens and the Trailblazers, Portland is home to over 645,000 residents, with adults 65 and older comprising 12.8% of the population. Several top-ranking medical facilities and programs are here to serve seniors, including OHSU Hospital, Legacy Emanuel Medical Center and Providence Health & Services. The prices that nursing home residents here pay for care is higher than the national average, according to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey. The average cost for a semiprivate room in Portland is $10,083 per month, compared to the U.S. median of $7,756.
Outside of hospitals, nursing homes provide the most sophisticated and comprehensive care available for people living with increasingly severe illness or frailty. These highly regulated facilities offer personal assistance with bathing and eating in addition to skilled nursing care, medical monitoring and a wide range of therapies. As a result, nursing homes are generally much more expensive than other senior accommodations. Home health care or assisted living communities can offer more affordable services that may be equally effective for individuals who do not yet require a high level of medical care.
This guide discusses typical costs of nursing home care in Portland, nearby cities and the nation. It also discusses average fees for other types of senior care and local resources designed to support seniors living at home.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Many Portland seniors depend on the following resources to maintain their independence. These programs help delay entry into a nursing facility or other senior care community.

Some staff are very difficult to work with. They are more interested in being “right” than caring for the patient.
