ARCADIA

SENIOR LIVING

Arcadia Senior Living is a boutique assisted living community located in southeast Portland designed to provide supportive housing and personalized care for seniors. The project focused on creating a welcoming residential environment that balances healthcare support with comfortable living spaces and community amenities.

The community includes 68 assisted living apartments along with shared dining areas, wellness spaces, and activity rooms that encourage social engagement and daily wellness programs.

Designed to feel more like a residential neighborhood than a traditional healthcare facility, the building provides private studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments along with communal spaces that promote interaction and a sense of community for residents.

PROJECT CHALLENGES

The Arcadia Senior Living project required careful coordination to construct a residential-style assisted living community that meets the operational and regulatory requirements of senior care facilities.

The design prioritized comfortable private apartments while integrating shared dining areas, wellness spaces, and activity rooms that support daily programming and resident engagement. Construction also required durable materials and accessible building systems to accommodate mobility needs, healthcare support services, and the long-term operational demands of a senior living environment.
