Columbia Place Assisted Living and Memory Care sits at 15727 NE Russell St in Northeast Portland and offers both assisted living and memory care services for seniors, so those who need a little help with daily routines or more specialized support can find what they need here. The community features a variety of apartment styles, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, and each apartment comes with a kitchenette, private bathroom, personal heating and cooling, and an emergency call system, while some have extra touches like loveseats, chairs, coffee tables, and plenty of natural light. Residents enjoy restaurant-style dining three times a day in dining rooms with white tablecloths and warm lighting, and there's an "Anytime Menu" if someone wants a meal at a different time, which adds a bit of flexibility you don't always see. The fireside seating areas make the common spaces inviting, and there are secure courtyards and patios with umbrellas and raised garden beds where residents can spend time outdoors, along with a memory care neighborhood that's secured, which matters for peace of mind.
There's a full social and activity calendar, and an Activities Director puts together everything from daily exercise classes to educational events, happy hours, volunteer opportunities, and religious services, while a neighborhood clubhouse, outdoor pool, and active resident council give people things to do. Pet-friendly policies mean folks can bring small pets, and pet therapy is available in memory care. Residents get weekly housekeeping and linen service, scheduled transportation for errands or appointments, and support with medication management and daily living tasks when needed, plus access to programs like support groups, rehabilitation, respite stays, coordinated hospice care, and care plans tailored to each person. The staff, including a dedicated memory care team, provide 24/7 support and keep an eye out for residents' well-being, and there's an on-site hair salon and spa, beauty and barber services, and indoor common areas where people gather and catch up. Columbia Place sits close to shopping, medical clinics, and other services, so it's convenient for families and residents, and a front desk staff is always ready to help with questions about the place or moving in. The community is part of a network backed by PACS Services, so local staff can just focus on caring for residents without getting bogged down by other things, and Columbia Place seems to put effort into giving seniors a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment where help is there if someone needs it, but everyone's encouraged to enjoy life and stay involved as much as they want.
