  We love living at Terwilliger Plaza. The residents are friendly, smart, and engaged, and the variety of activities every day is rather unbelievable. There’s a great gym and swimming pool, but the neighborhood is also great for getting outside and walking. Most residents are in independent living, but as we age, there is plenty of help available from a really great staff. We moved in a year ago and never looked back!

  My wife and I have lived at Terwilliger Plaza for just over 15 months now. We’re both in our late-middle 70’s and are relatively healthy and active. We love it here. We participate in and really appreciate the many organized exercise programs. We also enjoy exercise walks on our own up Terwilliger Drive, on the Duniway Park track, in the nearby Lair Hill and Corbett neighborhoods, and on the Willamette River walkways. There are wonderful musical and educational activities every week. We really appreciate being close to downtown and within easy walking distance to the Oregon Symphony, the Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Historical Museum, Portland State University, and (on the PSU campus) Lincoln Hall, an excellent venue for two chamber music groups and a small professional opera company, as well as numerous shops and restaurants. Portland has an excellent public transportation system, and several TriMet bus lines that have every day frequent schedules stop within two blocks of our door. Furthermore, it’s only a 10 minute walk to the closest Max light rail station. We are very impressed with the management and government structure at Terwilliger Plaza. Unlike many other retirement communities, even other CCRCs, Terwilliger Plaza is a nonprofit corporation with the Plaza residents as the members of the corporation. Not only do the residents elect the corporation’s directors, but the corporate structure guarantees that a majority of the directors must be Plaza residents. Management is controlled by residents instead of having residents at the mercy of disconnected management. However, even more important to us than these awesome advantages, what we like most about Terwilliger Plaza are the people here. We are constantly overwhelmed by both the backgrounds and the friendliness of fellow residents and members of the staff. We love having friends to meet with and chat at any time.
