Our friends at Willamette View also have excellent onsite case management helping Homewoods residents to focus on their goal to stay independent. Should a short stay in skilled nursing become necessary, we also have access to nursing care at Willamette View. We thenn work as a team to bridge people home to their independent living apartment with services in place here at Homewoods to meet their needs.  Should assisted living become necessary, we also have a longstanding relationship with Homewood Heights Assisted Living up the hill from us.

Further down Williams’ Walk we also have raspberries available in mid to late summer. Finally, at the ground level , facing the river on the north side of the grounds, we have eleven raised bed gardens available for resident use. The garden spaces are given away by lottery each spring. Residents may choose to share a box or put their names in for a box all their own.

Our interior courtyard is beautifully landscaped and contains a small river that flows into our koi pond which is maintained year round. There are garden spaces for resident use at the top of the courtyard on the eastside. These beds are typically used for flowers.
