Both are licensed by Oregon as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Oregon words these licenses as “Residential Care Facility (Memory Care endorsement)” (18), “Assisted Living Facility” (9), “Residential Care Facility” (4).
Every assisted living community Oregon licenses in Salem, from state records. Being listed is not a rating: Lilisity scores only communities with verified interviews (the Top Communities). Communities with verified reviews are listed first, then by size.

The median cost of assisted living in Oregon is $6,875 a month ($82,500 a year), above the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.

Medicaid doesn't pay rent or meals in assisted living. Most states offer a Medicaid waiver or program that can pay for care services at participating communities for people who qualify; not every community takes it, so ask each one. Oregon's Medicaid agency or your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you what's available.
