NorthWest Place – “A Wonderful Way to Live”
PORTLAND, Ore. (February 7, 2011) – Nestled within a vibrant urban environment, NorthWest Place is an intimately sized, independent living community that according to residents, Darlene and Peter Young is not as much of a place to retire, as it is a place to live.
NorthWest Place caters to seniors who are looking for a rich, fully engaged lifestyle. Located near 23rd Avenue in northwest Portland, residents find endless opportunities for shopping, dining, and entertainment, just steps away.
“This is a wonderful way to live – the location, the neighborhood, the access to the arts, restaurants and public transportation,” said Darlene. “We just love NorthWest Place. Our neighbors are some of the most interesting people we’ve had the pleasure to sit and have dinner with.”
Previously from San Diego, California, the Young’s discovered NorthWest Place while in Portland visiting friends.
“We were staying in the area and went out for an evening stroll and came across the community,” said Darlene. “What really sets NorthWest Place apart from other retirement communities is its urban location and sociability.”
Although Peter still works full time, they had been looking ahead to find a living situation where they could retire. For them Northwest Place’s cosmopolitan feel, and close-to-it-all locale was just the place.
“You can’t beat the location. And, the staff is extremely attentive to making life good for us,” said Peter. “To coin the phrase from Cheers, ‘It’s a place where everyone knows your name.”
Owned and operated by Senior Resource Group, the community takes an integrated approach to support the vitality, longevity and health of its residents by offering a hospitality-centered lifestyle, first-rate amenities and services and a host of new opportunities. And, should the need arise; residents can access supportive care services to maintain their independence while remaining in their homes.
Within the community, residents are presented new options daily from delectable meals prepared fresh in the community’s 12-hour Cascade Room restaurant, to a full calendar of social, cultural, recreational and educational events.
“Neighbors are always coming to the door to ask if Peter can come out and play,” joked Darlene. “We enjoy playing games and Peter started a monthly History Roundtable.”
Northwest Place features 46 one- and two-bedroom residences. Each is complete with a fully equipped kitchen (including electric oven, range, microwave, and frost-free refrigerator), all floor and window coverings, washer/dryer, and individual climate controls. Plus, the community offers the added convenience of underground parking.
Residents also enjoy a complimentary full breakfast plus the choice of lunch or dinner daily, all utilities (except telephone) including basic cable television, weekly housekeeping, 24-hour emergency call system, all interior and exterior maintenance, scheduled transportation service, and a full calendar of activities and programs all included in the monthly fee.
According to the Young’s, they can appreciate hesitations to move to a senior living community given the tough housing market and task of downsizing, but they’d still highly recommend it.
“It can be overwhelming to downsize, but once you do it – it’s such a relief,” said Darlene. “This is a wonderful way to live.”
