Learn More About Care Homes in Hillsboro, OR

 

This dynamic, bustling suburb west of Portland distinguishes itself through an extensive parks system and a booming economy largely based on the collection of tech giants that call the city home, earning it the nickname “Silicon Forest.” With Main Street serving as the anchor of a charming downtown area, Hillsboro maintains a vibrant local culture including a variety of theaters, arts festivals, and historic sites like Imbrie Farm.

In Hillsboro, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
