Why Families Choose Us

Small Enough to Know Your Name.
Experienced Enough to Trust.

Family-owned and serving Portland since 1989, Cherry Blossom Cottage is a small, 36-resident residential care home — not a large institutional facility. Your loved one gets individual attention, consistent staff, and clinical support that grows with their needs.

A Full-Time RN on Staff

A registered nurse is on staff full-time, monitoring each resident's health and coordinating with families, physicians, and visiting home-health providers.

From Independent Living to End of Life

We care for residents across the full journey — including hospice support — so many families avoid another stressful move as care needs change.

A Real Home, Not a Facility

With just 36 residents, we offer familiar faces, consistent routines, and staff who genuinely know each resident as an individual — not a room number.

Higher-Acuity Care Welcome

One- and two-person transfers with transfer poles and an electric Hoyer lift, plus catheter, ostomy, and oxygen services — care many small homes can't provide.

Three Home-Style Meals Daily

Three home-like seasonal meals served every day, with eating assistance and simple food modifications as needed — plus planned activities and entertainment.

Families Stay Connected

We welcome family visits and coordinate openly with home-health agencies for OT, PT, and wound care. Your loved one's wellbeing is a true partnership.

Meet the Owner

A Family-Owned Home Since 1989

Every resident at Cherry Blossom Cottage is somebody's mother, somebody's father — and that's how we care for them.

Cherry Blossom Cottage is a family-owned residential care home that has served Portland families since 1989. Owner Rebecca Meadowcroft and our team keep the home small on purpose, so care stays personal and every resident is truly known.

It's why families weighing several options so often tell us the same thing: this one simply felt like home.

Who We Care For

When Families Come to Cherry Blossom Cottage

We care for older adults who need anywhere from a little help to full support — including those whose needs are increasing. Families most often reach out at one of these moments:

Can't Return Home
After Hospital, Rehab or SNF

A loved one is being discharged from a hospital, rehab, or skilled-nursing stay and can't safely go back home without ongoing assistance.

Needs More Than AL Can Offer
Higher Level of Care

A resident has to leave an assisted living facility because their care needs have grown beyond what that setting can provide.

Higher-Acuity Needs
Transfers, Catheter, Ostomy, Oxygen

Two-person transfers with an electric Hoyer lift, catheter or ostomy care, oxygen services — supported by a full-time RN on staff.

Comfort to the End
Hospice & End-of-Life

Families who want their loved one cared for through end of life, with hospice support, in a familiar home rather than moving again.

Is Cherry Blossom Cottage private pay, or do you take Medicare or Medicaid?
Cherry Blossom Cottage is a private-pay residential care home. We also work with Long-Term Care insurance. If you have questions about how private pay works for your situation, call us at 503-256-9777 and we'll walk you through it.
Can you do two-person transfers with an electric Hoyer lift?

Do you have a nurse on staff?
Yes — we have a registered nurse (RN) on staff full-time who monitors resident health and coordinates care with families, physicians, and visiting home-health providers.
Can my loved one stay as their needs increase?
That's exactly what we're built for. We care for residents from independent living through end of life, including hospice support, so many families avoid another stressful move as needs grow. Families often come to us when a loved one can't return home after a hospital, rehab, or skilled-nursing stay, or needs to leave an assisted living facility for a higher level of care.
