Brookdale Oswego Springs Portland is a licensed assisted living community with 75 beds where seniors can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, continuing care retirement communities (CCRC), and at-home care services, and you'll find it offers help for everything from daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management to higher levels of medical support for those who need it. Residents are supported by trained staff around the clock, so help is always close by in emergencies, and people living here have both male and female neighbors, alongside their pets, since it's a pet-friendly place with common indoor areas where folks can gather, socialize, or get involved in daily events and structured activities focused on learning and fun. The community gives rides when residents need to go out, serves meals that value nutrition and quality, and brings in beauticians for those who want grooming or hair services. Hospice and respite care are offered, and people living with Alzheimer's or other dementias can get memory care in special, secure areas designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. The facility also provides spaces for residents who are still independent and healthy, as well as home care with aides who come right to the resident's own home for companionship and non-medical care, and you'll spot even more choices like maintenance-free and 55+ active communities. Accessibility and reliable internet are available for everyone, and social, devotional, and educational services are coordinated to meet varied needs, even if devotional activities happen offsite. Community tours help possible residents and families learn about daily life, dining, and activities firsthand, and engagement doesn't stop there since Brookdale Oswego Springs Portland runs signature programs and shares Brookdale Blogs for residents and families. With awards for care and friendliness, the facility is known for working to keep residents happy and supported wherever they are in life, focusing more on practical help, social time, and a sense of peace and well-being than on making any big promises.

Caring staff but staffing inconsistencies
I'm grateful my mother moved here - the staff are genuinely caring, the apartment and view are lovely, and the grounds and activities (painting, exercise, outings) noticeably improved her mood and health. The facility feels clean, safe, and handled COVID well; the kitchen and many meals are good and staff often go above and beyond. That said, turnover and occasional short-staffing have led to long call-button response times, uneven training for some aides, management/communication hiccups, and inconsistent food/service. Studios are small and sparse in places, so check care level availability and staffing before committing. Overall we'd recommend it for the warm, attentive team and smooth transition, but with caution about staffing consistency and some operational issues.

About Brookdale Oswego Springs Portland
About Brookdale
Brookdale Oswego Springs Portland is managed by Brookdale.
Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) is the largest senior living operator in the United States, managing over 640 communities with capacity for approximately 59,000 residents across 41 states and employing around 36,000 associates. Founded in 1978 and publicly traded since 2005, Brookdale solidified its market leadership through major acquisitions including American Retirement Corporation (2006) and Emeritus Senior Living (2014), making it the only national full-spectrum senior living company. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Brookdale has topped the American Seniors Housing Association's ASHA 50 list and Argentum's largest providers list for multiple consecutive years.
The company's comprehensive care continuum includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.
Brookdale's holistic Optimum Life® wellness approach balances six dimensions—Purposeful, Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual, and Intellectual—implemented through signature programs including B-Fit (eight exercise class options), Brain Fit (mental fitness workouts), My Life Story (resident storytelling), EngagementPlus (interest-based connections), Growing Together (collaborative learning), and The Ageless Spirit (kindness and gratitude practices). The Embrace Family Partnership provides caregiver education and support for families of memory care residents.
The company's Brookdale HealthPlus® care coordination model, winner of the 2024 Argentum Best of the Best Award placing it among the top 1% of operators, is a technology-enabled healthcare service featuring dedicated RN Care Managers who proactively manage residents' health, coordinate care transitions, and help prevent avoidable hospitalizations. Communities using HealthPlus report 78% fewer urgent care visits, 36% fewer hospitalizations, and 63% more completed annual wellness visits. The Personal Solutions program delivers hygiene products, medications, and daily necessities directly to residents' doors with discreet packaging and monthly billing convenience.
Following a strategic divestiture of its home health and hospice operations to HCA Healthcare (completed December 2023), Brookdale now focuses exclusively on senior living operations while maintaining its position as the industry's largest operator, committed to its mission of enriching lives with compassion, respect, excellence, and integrity.
