At Meadowlark in Lebanon, Oregon, we specialize in both independent living and assisted living. Independent living offers a maintenance-free lifestyle with amenities and social opportunities, perfect for active seniors who want freedom without the hassle of home upkeep. Our assisted living provides personalized support with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication management, while still encouraging independence. While 55+ communities are age-restricted neighborhoods that may offer limited services, Meadowlark focuses on delivering the full range of care and community support seniors deserve.
Choosing the right type of senior care at Meadowlark in Lebanon, Oregon, depends on your or your loved one’s individual needs and lifestyle. Independent living is best for active, self-sufficient seniors who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with access to amenities and social opportunities. Assisted living is ideal for those who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing or medication management while still valuing their independence. A professional assessment from a health care professional can help guide you to the best fit based on current needs and future considerations.

Visitation policies may vary slightly between assisted living and independent living to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. Independent living typically offers more flexible visitation since residents are self-sufficient, while assisted living may have guidelines in place to support residents who require more care. However, at Meadowlark, we strive to keep families connected and welcome visits in both settings, with any necessary guidelines clearly communicated to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
