What specific services are included in the base monthly fee?

We also have a Beauty Salon/Barber Shop onsite as well as a Sundries Shop where you can purchase home goods, candy and cards.
For residents in Assisted Living, care is provided for an extra charge each month based on personalized care plans customized to the needs of each resident.

During the day our doors remain open for guests to visit. Every night we lock the doors and our night security staff patrols the building.

Residents enjoy the convenience of our regularly scheduled transportation services several days each week, offering trips to nearby cities for shopping, medical appointments, and local errands.

Can Residents personalize their living spaces with their own furniture and decorations?
Yes, of course! All of our apartments are unfurnished. Residents bring their own furniture and decorations, so their apartment feels like home.
How are pricing adjustments determined, and how frequently are they implemented?
Pricing adjustments are evaluated on an annual basis by our management team. These adjustments take into account annual cost of living changes, including those affecting benefits like Social Security.
Are there different pricing options available based on the size and type of living accommodation?
Independent Living offers studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments with a large array of floorplans and prices. In Assisted Living, we have small studios, large studios and a cabana.
What medical services are available on-site and how do residents access medical care?
We provide Assisted Living onsite, but that is not medical care. Assisted Living provides help with activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, incontinence care, and medical management. For Medical care, Residents go to local physicians or Home Health Agencies come to the Towers to provide care to our Residents. Our small town is fortunate to have a clinic operated by one of Oregon’s leading medical groups. So excellent medical care is easily accessible to residents of our community.
Do you offer specialized care like memory care or skilled nursing?
We do not provide memory care or skilled nursing.
Do you accept long-term care insurance, and are there other financial assistance options?
We accept both Long-Term Care insurance and Veterans Benefits for our Assisted Living services. Veterans Benefits can also be utilized to cover costs associated with our Independent Living Apartments, providing residents with additional financial support avenues.
What's the dining experience like, and do you accommodate special dietary needs?
Experience our delightful dining experience served in our restaurant-style dining room. Our diverse menu features daily specials, a rotating selection of soups, a vibrant salad bar, and an array of tempting desserts. While we’re pleased to offer gluten-free alternatives, please note that we’re currently unable to cater to other specific dietary requirements. You can enjoy your meal in our dining room or take “to-go” back to your apartment.
