What does this cost?

The published median for assisted living in Oregon is $6,875 a month ($82,494 a year) — 11% above the national median of $6,200 (CareScout (Genworth) Cost of Care Survey, 2025). Where in the state matters more than that average suggests: the survey's regions run from $5,249 in Corvallis to $8,808 in Bend.

No directory can honestly quote you a price for a specific community. Operators don't publish their rates, and the rates change without notice — so a per-community number on a site like this one is either out of date or bait to get your phone number. The only current price is the one the community gives you. Medicaid can cover care in communities marked “Accepts Medicaid” if the person qualifies; the state portal and the community itself can confirm current rates.

Method: 211,985 long-term-care providers surveyed, July–November 2025. We publish regional medians because their source can be checked, and no per-community prices at all.

What assisted living costs by region in Oregon

The state median hides a great deal. These are the survey's own regions, and the gap between the top and bottom of this table is 68% — tens of thousands of dollars a year for the same level of care.

What Medicaid pays in Oregon

1,858 of the 2,259 licensed communities on this site accept Medicaid — 82% of them. If the person qualifies, these are the rates the state pays the provider, published by Oregon ODHS and effective July 1, 2026. They are not private-pay prices, and they are lower: this is what the state pays for the care, and it is not what a community quotes someone paying their own way.

Oregon Medicaid rates, effective July 1, 2026 — Oregon ODHS, Aging and People with Disabilities — Medicaid rate schedule
Memory care endorsed units	$6,480 a month
Assisted living	$2,040–$4,789 a month, by assessed level
Residential care	$3,482–$6,290 a month, by assessed tier
Adult foster home	$2,332–$7,773 a month, by assessed tier
Nursing facility	$568 a day ($16,511 a month), basic level
Room and board	$773 a month, paid separately

Levels and tiers are set by an assessment of the person's needs, not chosen by the family — more help means a higher tier. Room and board is a separate charge paid from the resident's own income. The communities marked Accepts Medicaid throughout this site are the ones that take these rates; ask any of them directly whether they have a Medicaid opening, because accepting Medicaid and having a bed for it are two different things.
