Cherry Heights Living in The Dalles, Oregon, offers many options for seniors, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, continuing care, respite care, home care, adult day care, and care homes. Folks can choose from studio, one-bedroom, or deluxe apartments, all on the ground floor, with emergency call systems and private bathrooms, some even with kitchenettes, and residents can bring their pets. The monthly rent includes basic utilities except telephone, plus weekly housekeeping and laundry, with maintenance for apartments and grounds taken care of so no one has to worry about chores. Residents get three meals a day served in a dining room that feels like a restaurant, and there's always a 24/7 beverage bar for snacks and drinks.
There's staff on-site and available day and night, and managers like Nelda Johnson keep things running smoothly, with help close by if anyone needs medical attention or support with daily medications. Residents can use their own private mailboxes, cable or satellite TV, elevators, and the community welcomes people aged 55 and older who want to live independently or need more support. Every apartment comes with an emergency call system, and there's daily health monitoring for folks who need it, with personalized care plans and medicine management.
The property has a warm, homey feel with outdoor patios shaded by red umbrellas, walking paths by a creek, and cozy sitting areas with fireplaces and comfortable chairs for reading a book or entertaining guests. There are social lounges, billiards, a multipurpose room with a big TV, and a community library with sunny windows and lots of books, plus a beauty and barber salon, sundry shop, and spaces for exercise and group activities. Residents enjoy regular events like bingo, morning exercise, bible studies, shopping trips, outings, and Saturday movies.
Cherry Heights Living is across from the Mid-Columbia Senior Center and just a short walk to shopping centers along 6th Street and Cherry Heights Road, making it easy to run errands, see friends, or get to appointments with community transportation. Folks are welcome to drop by for a tour, meet the staff, and see how everything works. The community aims to help seniors stay as independent and comfortable as possible, offering support where it's needed and a chance to take part in social, recreational, and faith-based activities onsite and offsite, with a focus on keeping everyone healthy, happy, and involved.
