Except for the retirement setting, the arrangements are not very different from homeownership in the community at large. Arranging for assistance in the home is the responsibility of the resident. These communities agree to meet the increasing care needs of an aging resident by providing independent apartment living supplemented by an on-site health care facility, usually licensed by the State of Oregon Senior and Disabled Services office. Financial assistance is not available for the facilities currently operating in the Portland area. These apartment buildings are intended for seniors with low or moderate incomes.
Tenants are capable of living independently.
