Hearthstone at Murrayhill is located in Beaverton, Oregon, near Murrayhill on the corner of Scholls Ferry Road and Davies Rd. (Map It)

Shopping and medical services are within blocks as well as being located near parks and recreational facilities. Beaverton is a suburb of Portland and the location where many business professionals choose to locate. The area is surrounded by hills and has fast access to most services.

Private apartments are furnished with a kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, basic cable and blinds. The residents complete the furnishings with their personal belongings making it truly their own home.

The services offers an alternative to nursing home care (at less cost) and provides a higher quality of life. Tailored service plans are based on the needs of each individual resident. Residents only pay for the services they need. As personal care needs change, more services are added to support those needs. Learn more about Assisted Living and Memory Care at Hearthstone

The Medication Aides are trained to administer medications. We have a pharmacy that services the facility at competitive prices, but the resident can also request medications from their pharmacy of choice (Bubble packaging is suggested). Please discuss your specific needs and the various options with the administrator.

Assisted Living is a special combination of housing and personalized services designed to respond to the individual needs of those who require help with activities of daily living and health care needs. Care is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in a way that promotes maximum independence and dignity for each resident. Each resident's individual care needs are identified and a service plan designed to support those needs. The plan is designed to enhance the independence of each resident. Assisted Living programs are based on a social model of care. This puts the resident at the center of the decision-making process. Learn more about Assisted Living at Hearthstone

The service planning team develops the individualized care/service plan for each resident. This team consists of the resident or legal representative, the licensed nurse, and another appropriate member.

This is one of the many distinctives of the Hearthstone Community. You have the choice of living together in the independent or the assisted wing when one person is independent and the other needs assistance.

It is Hearthstone's goal to support a resident's choice to remain in his or her living environment to the end of their lives. We do recognize, however, that due to certain conditions, some residents may no longer be appropriate. Please feel free to discuss the move out criteria and progression of care levels with a Hearthstone representative.

Staff are selected on the basis of their attitude toward the residents and their ability and commitment to provide service with love. A registered nurse is on staff to assess your health needs. We also provide 24-hour care-giving services. Full-time employees receive benefits which greatly enhance the on-going commitment of staff to the Hearthstone Community.

Nutritional, restaurant-style meals are provided each day. A modified special diet ordered by a physician or other licensed health care professional required to treat medical conditions may also be provided. Medically complex diets are not included.

Every resident in the Independent and Assisted Living is supplied with a personal wireless call bracelet or necklace, ensuring that help is available at the press of a button 24-hours-a-day.

We are a private pay community and do not accept Medicaid. If a resident becomes eligible for Medicaid, Hearthstone will assist the resident and family in making the contact necessary to apply for Medicaid and, if needed, will refer the families to a placement service that can assist them in relocating. Should you anticipate that you will need Medicaid in two years or less, you should consider a Medicaid community now as the number of communities that accept Medicaid are limited.
