Life at Willamette Oaks means having everything within reach—both the essentials and the extras. It all adds up to a life well-lived.
YOUR LIFE. YOUR WAY.
SERVICES PROVIDING INDEPENDENCE
Willamette Oak’s goal is to help you maintain your independence for life. We offer dozens of key services to let you live the way you want. Should you need assisted living services, those are available through our partners.
PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Willamette Oaks is different because our people are different. We think differently, we approach senior living differently, and you’ll see the results the moment you walk in the door. Here, you can have independence without loneliness. We invite you to come visit and meet some of the people who make this such a unique place to live. Until then, click the link below for a virtual introduction.

RELOCATION ASSISTANCE
Living here is easy. Moving in can be, too. Our relocation coordinator will help make the process as pain-free as possible by coordinating everything from the mover to the cable technician. Many of our residents also benefit from working with our friends at Move-In Comfort. Learn more about them on our Partners page.
24/7 SERVICE
Service all day, every day.
Your life doesn’t stop on the weekends, and neither do we. A manager is always available. So if you have an important question or issue on a weekend, you won’t get a “we’ll get back to you.” Someone with authority will handle it immediately.
