When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Portland and 34 other cities in Oregon.
Oregon is one of five states to offer a 1915(k) option, also known as a K Plan, K Option, or, in Oregon, the Community First Choice plan. This benefit, offered through Medicaid, helps eligible low-income seasons to pay for their assisted living and other care costs.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Oregon page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

Inflation is projected to drive up the cost of assisted living in Portland by 18% between 2022 and 2024, in line with the average increase across the United States. Seniors in other parts of Oregon may see even greater increases, with the statewide average prices potentially rising 26.6% over the same period. Inflation is affecting cities across the state, with fees in historically affordable cities, such as Newport and Ontario, potentially increasing by around 17.9%, and those in more costly cities, such as Newberg, seeing similar increases. This pattern makes it particularly important to plan carefully for senior care.
