McMinnville, Oregon
44 cottages, 69 Independent Living, 40 Assisted Living, 20 Alzheimer’s Memory Care, 20 Skilled Nursing

Completed 2001 while at Mithun

To revitalize their image and reposition themselves in the market, Hillside constructed a new state-of-the art residential health center and added new cottages and independent living apartments on their 20 year old CCRC campus.

The main entry of the CCRC was relocated and the new health center and apartments were organized to create a new town square to greet visitors as they entered the campus. Designed to appear as a series of connected farm houses, barns and a country inn, the new buildings give the campus an updated, fresh image consistent with its rural Willamette Valley location, increase site density, and meet Hillside’s commitment to provide housing options for middle-income CCRC residents.
