Beaverton, Oregon's second-largest city in Washington County, has grown rapidly as a senior care destination due to its proximity to the Nike and Intel campuses, strong healthcare infrastructure (Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, Tuality Community Hospital), and relatively lower cost of living compared to Portland's urban core.
The ODHS APD licensing database shows more than 100 licensed senior care providers in Beaverton and the surrounding Aloha/Cedar Hills corridor, including Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs), Residential Care Facilities (RCFs), Adult Foster Homes (AFHs), and adult day centers. Washington County's strong property tax base funds robust ODHS APD district oversight, and the county consistently outperforms the statewide average on deficiency-free survey rates.
Adult Foster Homes (AFHs): Beaverton and the broader Aloha corridor are home to a dense cluster of Oregon-licensed Adult Foster Homes — small, family-run homes licensed for 1–5 residents. AFHs offer an intimacy and individualized attention that is difficult to replicate in larger communities. Costs typically range from $2,800 to $5,500/month depending on care level. Oregon Medicaid K-Plan covers AFH care for eligible residents.
Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs): Larger licensed communities (typically 15–80 residents) offering private apartments, structured dining, programming, and tiered personal care. Beaverton ALF base rates run $3,200–$5,200/month for a studio; care-level add-ons can bring the total to $5,500–$7,500/month for higher-acuity residents.
Memory Care: Several Beaverton communities have dedicated secured memory care wings. Rates run $4,500–$7,000/month depending on acuity. ODHS APD requires specific dementia-care staff training for all licensed memory care providers.
Independent Living / 55+ Communities: Beaverton has several active adult communities for seniors who do not yet need personal care — typically priced at $1,500–$3,000/month for an apartment or cottage.
Beaverton consistently runs 10–20% less than comparable care in Portland's urban core:
| Care Type | Beaverton Monthly | Portland Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Foster Home (Level 2) | $3,200 – $4,200 | $3,600 – $4,800 |
| Assisted Living Studio | $3,200 – $4,800 | $3,800 – $5,200 |
| Memory Care | $4,500 – $6,200 | $5,200 – $7,000 |
For families stretched by Portland's rising assisted living rates, Beaverton often provides comparable quality at a meaningfully lower cost.
