The Springs at Lake Oswego sits in Oregon and blends Pacific Northwest hospitality with flexible living for older adults who want to stay active while having support close by when needed, and what's noticeable is how smoothly people can move from independent living, where chore-free days and apartment homes with kitchens or kitchenettes let residents focus on the things they enjoy, to assisted living or even the Footsteps® Memory Care program, so there's really no need to leave the campus if care needs change. The community offers studio, one, two, or three bedroom apartments, each coming with washer and dryer access, maintenance, safety features like sprinkler systems, and some homes even have their own full kitchens.
For anyone who needs a little extra help, assisted living staff provide customized support for daily needs, and for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's, trained staff work within secure areas, making use of personalized care plans that keep the resident's dignity at the front of everything, which this place takes seriously because the founders built it keeping their own parents in mind, wanting to avoid the feel of an old folks' home. There's a total of 87 beds. The staff helps with personal care, manages medication, and coordinates with board-certified physician assistants, and families can use long-term care insurance or other coverage for payment.
You'll see a great effort put into making life interesting and meaningful, with things like the nine-hole rooftop putting green, rooftop gardens, a bocce ball court, a life-size chess board, plus a heated indoor pool and spa, which is rare for these places, and community spaces such as Fancho's Public House-a rooftop wine bar where neighbors gather, and bright indoor rooms for arts, crafts, and games. Residents can join specialty fitness classes, personal training, and social activities like off-site trips to stores, museums, and theaters, or sit in on talks and live entertainment events. Food is served on-site using fresh, seasonal ingredients in dining rooms that are social and easy to access.
For day-to-day ease, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, WiFi, parking, a salon/barbershop, and guest spaces are available, so needs are met easily, and chores stay off the resident's mind. Memory care follows the Footsteps® program, where routines and activities are designed for people with dementia. Off the apartments, you'll find welcoming tables and friendly staff, creating a place that feels warm and safe, and the idea is to let people age in place, staying comfortable and independent, while care adapts to whatever changes come. Facilities and programs support both individuals who want to live more freely, and those who need complex or evolving support, and staff work hard to help residents fill their days with family, friends, hobbies, and wellness, all in one connected community.
