I am/was a resident of this facility

I'm in Powell Valley Assisted Living and Memory Care Community. I would give them ten stars for their care. When I came here I was really in need of a lot of assistance. I'm now pretty independent, but I still like that during the quarantine I saw a lot of the caregivers, and they have just treated me with so much care, love, and kindness. They really take good care of me. The facility is in really good shape. Our dining room is beautiful, but we haven't been able to use it because of the quarantine, and we're just now opening up some activities, which is nice. We're actually having bingo every day, and we're doing tai chi in the morning.

Our experience with Gresham Manor has been wonderful. My aunt has been warmly welcomed by residents and the staff. The place is lovely and she's very happy with her room. The bathroom is large and has a walk-in shower. The food is delicious. The people are meeting all her needs as a new resident. She's in a studio, but there are also 1 and 2-bedroom apartments. They have free wi-fi and cable TV and 3 meals a day by a very good chef. They have a bus for transportation, stretching classes, exercise classes, card group, exercise machines, beauty salon, and a courtyard.

We really like Gresham Manor. They provide three meals a day, and it's like a full course meal. The residents seem very nice, and it's pretty quiet, peaceful, and a safe place for my grandmother to be living. The staff is really nice and helpful, and they know her by name. I'm very much satisfied, but she wants to look into places that are not as expensive because she doesn't make a whole lot.

Gresham Manor is nice, clean, and suitable for my brother. He has his own private room. The service is pretty, but they don't go above and beyond to serve them. The residents are pretty much independent, but they provide all his meals. They have free laundry service, but he has to do it. The staff is friendly and helpful when you need something. They serve good food, and he likes it. He socializes when he goes to lunch. It's first come first serve and there's no designated seating area, but he has three gentlemen that he sits with. They come in and clean his room once a week, change out his bedding, and clean his bathroom. It's the best value out of the three places that were recommended to me.

My father-in-law moved into Gresham Manor, but he has been hospitalized. He was only there for five days but he enjoyed it. They provide three meals a day and cleaned my father-in-law's room and changed the towels and sheets once a week. The other residents are very friendly and the staff is really good every time I've talked to or called them for anything. There are laundry facilities available on each floor, and there's a barber shop, a little library, and you can schedule to go to a doctor's appointment. We like it. My father-in-law had a one-bedroom apartment, but they also had studios. They had Wii bowling, concerts, and a pool table. They also schedule some events. Many of the residents are long term and really like it. They seem pretty happy with their situation. It's a good value, and cable and internet are provided.

I visited this facility

Farmington Square – Gresham's assisted living was nice and inviting. Each building has its own little dining area. The room we saw was good. Nothing stood out that was great or bad. It's got several buildings and each building is not really big. If you downsize, you move to a different building on the same property. The staff who gave us the tour was very nice, friendly and accommodating. They answered our questions.

We went to Gresham Manor and the building was a little older, but it's clean, and tidy. They have a beautiful craft room. They have everything that anybody would want to go down and participate in crafts. They have some bus trips to shopping. All the people were really nice. The guy that gave me the tour was awesome. They have food available and snacks in between. The atmosphere was very happy and the room itself was beautiful.

My overall impression of Gresham Manor was positive because it was a nice and clean place. They appeared to have caring people too. The only problem there was that it was out of my price range. I would give this place a give because it was the most impressive one. The people I dealt with were helpful, and the place itself seemed to be nicer than the others I saw.

We really like Gresham Manor. The independent living apartment that we looked at was very roomy and larger than the standard 1-bedroom. It's a plus that it comes with a two-burner cooking area that others don't have. The dining area was lovely. We've been to this community twice and the gentleman who gave us the tour has been checking on us every now and then. They also have the usual things for the residents to do like card games, Bingo, movie nights, and so on. We also met a few community members in the hallways and they were very nice and lovely.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Gresham

Medicaid in Oregon

Medicaid is a government-funded health insurance program that helps children, pregnant women, seniors and other eligible low-income Americans access necessary health care. In Oregon, Medicaid is known as the Oregon Health Plan. Approximately 850,000 Oregonians — one-fifth of the state’s population — receive health insurance through OHP.

This program provides coverage for many health care services, including hearing aids, home health care, hospital care, laboratory tests and medical equipment.

Aged, Blind and Disabled

Seniors who live in Oregon may qualify for OHP’s Aged, Blind and Disabled category if they:

  • Earn less than $771 per month ($1,157 for couples)
  • Have less than $2,000 in resources ($3,000 for couples)


All sources of income are counted for Medicaid eligibility purposes, including veterans’ and Social Security benefits. Many types of resources, including a primary home and one vehicle, are exempt. Countable resources include checking accounts, investments and secondary residences. The state has a Medicaid look-back period, and 60 months before applying for coverage, seniors can’t transfer or give away nonexempt resources.

Seniors who are interested in OHP coverage can complete a paper application or visit ONE.Oregon.gov to apply online. 

To learn more about OHP or get help with your application, call OHP Customer Service at (800) 699-9075.

Oregon K Plan

The Oregon K Plan is a home and community-based services Medicaid waiver. It helps seniors avoid moving into nursing homes by paying for services they receive in a variety of community settings, such as assisted living facilities, adult foster homes and in-home services. 

This waiver provides case management and community transition services. Case management includes assessing seniors needs, developing an individualized care plan and connecting seniors with necessary services. Community transition services help seniors move out of nursing homes.

Seniors may be eligible for this program if they require a nursing home level of care and earn less than 300% of the SSI Federal Benefit Rate. As of 2019, the SSI FBR is $771 for individuals and $1,157 for couples. 

Each year, the state limits the number of participants in the K Plan, so seniors may have to wait to receive services. Interested seniors should apply as soon as possible. 

The Oregon Department of Human Services manages the K Plan. Gresham seniors can call Portland’s Aging Health Services office at (503) 872-8822 to apply or learn more.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly provides community-based care to frail seniors. This care includes all Medicaid and Medicare-covered services as well as any other necessary medical care. In Oregon, these services include assisted living care, adult day services, transportation, therapeutic services and community nursing. 

Seniors may be eligible if they need a nursing home level of care but could live safely in the community if they receive PACE services. PACE participants must live in a PACE provider’s service area and be 55 years of age or older.

Gresham’s PACE provider is Providence ElderPlace. Seniors can call (503) 574-6595 to learn more about this provider’s services.

Questions about the PACE program can also be directed to the Department of Human Services PACE Coordinator at (844) 224-7223.

Oregon Supplemental Income Program

The Oregon Supplemental Income program provides cash assistance to eligible seniors. Seniors may qualify if they fall into one of these groups:

  • Eligible for Supplemental Security Income
  • Live in a nursing facility and earn less than 300% of the SSI standard


Through this program, seniors may receive a one-time special needs payment or ongoing monthly payments. The type and amount of assistance varies based on individual needs.

It may help pay for moving costs if transitioning into an assisted living facility, and may also qualify for a one-time payment for room and board. The funding is provided directly to the facility during the month of admission. Seniors with ongoing needs may qualify for monthly payments.

To apply for this program, Gresham seniors can call Portland’s Aging Health Services office at (503) 872-8822.
