Beaverton Lodge stands as a retirement community in Beaverton, Oregon, just about 10 miles from downtown Portland, where folks 62 and older find a place with different care options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and long-term care services, all inside a three-story building that holds 121 apartments. There are studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom choices, each one pretty roomy, starting at about 520 square feet and going up over 1,000, most with covered decks or patios, except for the studios, and they've got big windows with safety latches and thick curtains, plus wall-to-wall carpets and kitchens fitted with full-size fridges, countertop cookers, disposals, and lots of storage, and every place has its own air conditioning and heating unit, big storage rooms, and emergency pull cords. Bathrooms come with support bars, low barrier tubs and showers, and everything gets cleaned with weekly housekeeping and linen changes, so things stay tidy, with sound-resistant construction to keep it quiet, sprinklers for fire safety, and on-site resident managers ready to help any time of the day.
They made sure pets can stay too, and used special air systems-the kind NASA made for hospitals-to get rid of odors, help keep out wildfire smoke, and stop germs like COVID-19 from spreading so much, and filters run through the hallways for good air quality. Residents get free scheduled rides to shops and doctor appointments, and there are plenty of things to do like educational programs, group outings, exercise, a garden area, beauty and barber shop, indoor pool and spa, exercise room, and plenty of places set up for getting together, talking, or just hanging out, because Beaverton Lodge tries to foster a friendly community where it's easy to make friends and stay social.
There's a focus on both self-sufficiency and safety, which means those who want to stay independent get support only when it's needed, while those needing more help, like with memory or assisted living services, have well-trained, attentive staff around. Something pretty unique is their care for keeping things organized and clutter-free, believing that good surroundings help with peace of mind. They keep things affordable but still offer many comforts, like full Comcast TV (with optional packages), all utilities included except the phone, big storage spaces, and newly fixed up apartments with upgrades like granite countertops and updated patios and baths.
People who've reviewed Beaverton Lodge say the staff's friendly, the place is clean, and there's good attention to detail, leaving it with a 4.2 out of 5 rating.

The community plays a part in the local area, offering an age-restricted environment designed for privacy, security, and staying active, with easy access to outdoor spaces and convenient features throughout.
