What's Included in Your Monthly Rate

Care tailored by level (1–7)
Every resident is assessed individually. As needs change, care levels adjust — you're never paying for support your loved one doesn't use.
Staff are trained in Alzheimer's and dementia care. We provide assisted living (not a locked memory-care unit), and we'll honestly help you assess the right fit on a tour.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care?
Assisted living supports seniors who need help with daily tasks — bathing, dressing, medications, meals — while staying largely independent. Memory care is a more secured setting for advanced Alzheimer's or dementia. Cherry Blossom Cottage provides assisted living with staff trained in Alzheimer's and dementia care, and we'll help you assess the right fit on a tour.
Is Cherry Blossom Cottage licensed?
Yes. Cherry Blossom Cottage is a state-licensed Residential Care Facility regulated by the Oregon Department of Human Services, subject to regular state surveys. Our licensing details and recent state survey documents are available on request — part of our commitment to transparency for the families who trust us with their loved ones.
What is included in the monthly rate?
The base rate includes three home-style meals a day, 24-hour medication and care staff, social and recreational activities, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry. Additional support is billed by care level (1–7) based on an individual assessment, so families only pay for the help their loved one actually needs.

What makes Cherry Blossom Cottage different from larger Gresham-area communities?
Cherry Blossom Cottage has been family-owned and operated since 1989 — now in its second generation — offering a small, home-like setting of 40 private apartments with consistent, familiar staff instead of a large corporate campus. We also publish our pricing openly, so families can compare honestly without a sales runaround.
How do I know when it's time for assisted living?
Common signs include trouble managing medications, meals, or bathing; recent falls; isolation; or a family caregiver becoming overwhelmed. If a loved one struggles to live safely alone but doesn't need full nursing care, assisted living is often the right step. We're glad to talk it through and arrange a tour — call (503) 256-9777.
