Each apartment has base rent, and additional care costs will be added based on your needs.  Additional care costs include things such as help to shower, bed mobility, and medication management. The total rent and care costs are determined following an assessment after you have toured and decided which location you prefer. Once you move in, there should be another assessment after 30 days to ensure your needs are met. Most assisted living buildings have a base rate of $4,000 – 4,500 (average) a month for a studio and $6,500+ for two bedrooms, with individual care costs on top of that. Most communities require a one-time Community Fee ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. With more than 100 assisted living facilities in the Portland Metro area, care costs vary and are determined after an assessment by the care provider. Residents and or their families typically furnish the rooms or apartments.
