Come See Why Families Fall in Love with Chinook Place
The truth is, once people visit, they feel the difference.They see the setting. They meet the team. They feel the warmth. Schedule a tour, sit down for a meal with us, and let the place speak for itself. There’s no pressure—just a chance to find out if this feels like the right next chapter for your family.
We know what this feels like. You want to do the right thing and make a great decision. You want to make sure Mom’s cared for by people who will love her like their own family, without sacrificing dignity or draining your family’s savings. We’re here to help you do your best, so you can feel confident moving into this next phase of life.
No sales pitch. No pressure. Instead:
You’ll share your loved ones’ specific needs so we can make sure your tour covers what you want to know
You’ll tour the community, join us for a meal, and visit our assisted living and memory care areas
Meet the people who will be caring for the person who cared for you
Discuss practical matters like your budget and timing
Answer every question you have so you can feel certain you’re making the absolute best decision
Pricing Transparency
None of this matters if you can’t afford it. Other websites may post their pricing online, but we believe this creates a misleading picture. This sets false expectations that lead to disappointment when people discover additional costs during their visit. That’s not how we want to start our relationship, and it’s not how we work.
The fact is, every resident has different needs, and we don’t want to give you one price online, then another when you tour the community. So…
Once we assess your loved one’s specific needs, you’ll receive clear monthly pricing that includes:
- Base apartment fee (varies by size and type)
- Personalized care services based on individual needs
- Daily meals, light housekeeping, laundry, and a full calendar of social activities
Three Ways to Take Your Next Step
We’ve done our best to paint a picture of this community, but words can’t give you the feeling of what it’s like to live here. We can’t give you the peaceful feeling of being near the woods or the smell of the nearby water. The best way to know if a community is the right choice for you is to experience its true spirit in person.
Since residents consider the quality of meals one of the most important services we offer, we invite you to join us for a meal (on us) and experience the fare yourself.
