Pricing at Arcadia Senior Living Portland

Simple, transparent pricing built around the care your loved one actually needs.

How Your Cost Is Calculated

Your monthly cost at Arcadia has two parts: your apartment’s base rent, and a personalized care plan built around your specific needs. Instead of grouping residents into broad, one-size-fits-all pricing tiers, we use an individualized, point-based care assessment, so you are never paying for care someone else needs but you do not. It is a more personal, and often more fair, way to price care.

How Care Plans Are Assessed and Reviewed

Every resident’s care starts with an individual assessment, not a flat rate. We reassess care plans after the first week, again at 30 days, and then every 90 days after that, or any time there is a change in condition. If your loved one’s needs go down, for example if they want to manage their own medications again with their doctor’s sign-off, their care plan and cost adjust too.

No Long-Term Contract

Arcadia is month-to-month with just a 30-day notice. That keeps the decision low-risk for your family, and it holds us accountable to keep earning your trust every month.

Paying for Assisted Living

Assisted living is a significant investment, and most families use more than one source to cover it. Here are the most common ways families in Oregon pay for care.

💡 Did you know? Assisted living may be tax deductible. In many cases, some or all of the cost of assisted living is tax deductible for the resident or a qualifying family member. Under the Kennedy-Kassebaum Act of 1996, medical and personal care costs required for daily living may qualify as deductible medical expenses. We recommend consulting a tax professional to see how this may apply to your family.

How do most families pay for assisted living?

Most families use a combination of sources: personal savings, Social Security, a pension, and sometimes the sale of a home. Many families also layer in benefits like long-term care insurance or VA benefits to help cover the cost.

Can VA benefits help pay for assisted living?

Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit, an additional monthly payment on top of a standard VA pension that can be used toward the cost of assisted living. Eligibility depends on service history, income, and care needs.

Does long-term care insurance cover assisted living?

Many long-term care insurance policies do cover assisted living, though coverage varies by policy. Some older policies only cover nursing homes, and most require the policyholder to need help with a certain number of daily activities before benefits begin. We recommend reviewing your specific policy or having a family member do so.

Is there Medicaid help available in Oregon?

Oregon offers Medicaid waiver programs, including the K Plan, that can help eligible seniors access community-based care, including assisted living, instead of a nursing facility. Eligibility is based on both financial and functional need, and the application process can take time, so it is worth starting early if you think your family may qualify.
