How families pay for independent living in Oregon

Most Oregon families start by covering the cost of assisted living, memory care or independent living out of pocket, drawing on savings, pensions and retirement income, and often the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family member holds a policy, can offset some of these costs, and it is worth reviewing the policy's terms early since coverage and waiting periods vary. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that helps pay for the cost of care, and it is worth checking eligibility directly with the VA.

Figures refresh as listings and reviews change; the written summary was last revised September 25, 2026.
