Senior Living in Portland, Oregon

A Wonderful Active Lifestyle

Our senior living activities and social programs are primarily orchestrated by our residents. Over the years, our calendar has ebbed and flowed; we like to change our programs frequently to avoid stagnation. We always encourage our residents to create the environment they want in their senior living community, and with each individual contributing to the whole, our programs offer an array of special interests and new knowledge to gain.

One common interest is our residents’ love of music. Every Tuesday afternoon, our senior living community is bursting with the sound of music. On Wednesdays, we host guest speakers at our Wednesday Wisdom Lecture Series. We take excursions every Friday afternoon to various indoor and outdoor venues; and we like to end the week with a Friday Happy Hour, where we enjoy appetizers, wine and an interactive game or trivia contest. Whether we are discussing current events, getting fit during Balloon and Ball Exercise, Singing Along with Bill, or enjoying a meal together at the Olive Garden, we are always having a grand time! We also take great pride in our holiday and seasonal celebrations. We like to begin each New Year with a Candlelight Dinner; welcome the spring with Family Fun Carnival Night; sway in the summer breeze with a Luau; raise a mug during Oktoberfest; and splurge during the holiday season with a bountiful Thanksgiving Dinner and twinkling Holiday Celebration.

Partnering with the Local Neighborhood Community

Our philosophy is simple: We are a community resource dedicated to making Oswego Springs a place where the public can be entertained, can learn something and even experience culture. Toward this goal, every month, we sponsor some type of enrichment activity, from our New Year’s candlelight dinner to February Casino Day to an art exhibit featuring artists from Portland and from our own community. We also host a variety of guest speakers from all kinds of professional backgrounds, who give lectures during our Wednesday Wisdom Lecture Series. Topics might include alternative healthcare, investment planning or something as simple as the art of listening and how to engage our creativity and passion. All of these events are open to the public.

Oswego Springs is a proud supporter of The Northwest Senior Theater and attend its bi-yearly theatrical productions, as well as host some of its members during our community’s special theme-related days. The Chamber of Commerce and the "Spin Networking Group" meet at Oswego Springs, and our community comes together to lavish our guests with excellence. We also host the "Senior Institute," which is a group of seniors who meet at various places in the community to discuss politics and current events. Oswego Springs has developed into an artistic and intellectual senior living community. Our residents love to continue to learn, grow and share their knowledge, artistic talents, wisdom and experiences.

Fine Dining

Our day begins at 8:00 am, when residents join together for breakfast. Just like their favorite breakfast spot, we make their eggs to order. Lunch, our main meal of the day, is from noon to 1:00 p.m. We always serve two entrees each meal, and offer a great deal of variety, including many fish dishes. In the evenings, we serve a lighter fare of soups, salads and sandwiches. Snacks, including fresh fruit, are always available. We also have wonderful weekly Happy Hour, for which our chef prepares a nice selection of appetizers. High tea, special monthly meals, candlelight dinners with beef Wellington and stuffed salmon, ice cream socials and other special food-related events are always on the menu! We can also cater to many dietary restrictions, from no salt to limited concentrated sweets.
