About This Community

Sellwood Senior Living specializes in customized care for each of our residents in Assisted Living. We provide a variety of daily activities and outings for our residents’ enjoyment. We are extremely proud that our residents are treated like family here and we provide a home-like environment that is wonderful. In our community, we offer kind and compassionate care to our residents who are independent or needing extra support with their Activities of Daily Life (ADL’s) and beyond. We offer peace of mind to the family members and loved one’s who allow us to welcome these residents into our family. We make it a priority that our new residents can transition easily. This is perfect for those folks who may have anxiety about the new move. We have open communication, so that family members and loved ones have access to how they are handling this new experience.

Our beautiful community is in a unique setting. It is surrounded by charming residential areas but has a very urban vibe . We have 4 restaurants within 2 blocks from our front door. All easy walking for our residents. There is a quaint, little mini mart within a rock throw from our building. This allows our residents the convenience to get items that they might want or need on their own. Amazing for their sense of independence and freedom.

The eclectic and artisan atmosphere here is authentic… where each resident is appreciated for their individuality. It is a blend of many interesting folks with diverse backgrounds. All special in their own way. Our amazing residents really do feel that this is their forever home.

Our committed team of seasoned nurses and caregivers are trained and experienced to support all types of resident needs. We are here to support each one of our residents’ ADL’s, and in turn offer family members peace of mind knowing they are getting the best possible care.

Here are just a few things that we are proud to offer our residents:

Licensed nursing 24/7 – diabetic care

I liked Sellwood Senior Living. The residents were all smiling and talking among themselves. They were happy and I wanted to see that. The staff was very, very nice and very helpful. They gave me cookies and they were really good. The rooms were very nice, clean, modern, bright, and smelled good. They were getting some brand-new furniture and they looked very excited. All the rooms that I looked into as I walked around were very orderly. It's a good place.

Sellwood Senior Living is the best I've seen in the area. Things that impressed me is when I walked in, they have a sign on the receiving guest that said, 'Welcome Robert,' and they had some fresh baked cookies made for me in a bag. I liked the above-and-beyond service just from that. Everyone was really friendly, and the building was immaculate. I saw the menu. I didn't try their food, other than the cookies they made me, and those were the best cookies I think I've ever had. I just glanced at their activities because my sister probably won't be doing most of them, but they had a huge calendar and it looked like numerous activities of all different types going on every day. I didn't pay attention, but it looked like they offered a lot.

I toured Sellwood Senior Living and met with Lisa. She was very informative, very friendly, and gave me a great tour. The apartment accommodation is nice looking. It's clean and friendly. I'm a vegetarian and they would have been able to supply me with the amount of food I needed for respite care. I would have no problem staying there, but if you want to have exercise equipment (like myself), they don't have that.

I visited Sellwood Senior Living. They had a two-bedroom and the staff even suggested that you could open these double doors to make your living area larger and then have a bedroom over on the other side and I thought that was nice. I did not see a one-bedroom at Sellwood, but they showed how they could even be more spacious. The parking for mom's car was much better there. They gave me a box of cookies. At the front desk, I was greeted, and they seemed to have enough staff. I saw groups of residents talking and moving around, and I saw staff everywhere I went, so that's good. The dining area had a nice big window to look out. The whole facility was close to the street, so as far as going outside, there wasn't a walking area. There was like a patio, but there wasn't an area really where you could walk around. They kept the entrance area clean. The room had double doors and the bathroom had plenty of room. It seemed clean. The people that were in that front area seemed to be able to get around like one had a motorized vehicle. They had a library. They seemed to have plenty of staff. It was a welcoming place. The lobby area was a little smaller, but that's fine.

My mom went to look. They're really sweet people there. It's a really, really good place. Their facility was really great, but it seemed to be more for people that really needed assisted living more than what my mom needs. It also didn't have what she wanted. It was too inconvenient for her; it was too chaotic. Like she has to take an elevator to different floors, and that really bothers her. They're just so super people. It's very clean and very beautiful.

We visited and I'm very impressed. I would say the people that work there are exceptional. They follow through, and I'm very impressed with it. I would have chosen it, but things changed a bit for my mother-in-law. It was apparent that she needed a different kind of facility. But I am very impressed, and I would recommend it since I have no complaints.
