Washington Gardens Memory Care Residence

Welcome to Washington Gardens Memory Care & Assisted Living community located in Tigard, Oregon.

An active lifestyle, such as one filled with walking outdoors or making meals with others, is beneficial for those with memory loss because it helps with sensory stimulation and procedural memory skills. Our SPARK program is inspired by the Montessori methods and helps support residents with skills based and social focused activities. Here at Washington Gardens, we strive to provide the best assisted living and memory care to our residents, and give them the most comfortable and enjoyable lifestyle we can.

A New Friendship in the Cards ♠️♥️ When Stephanie recently moved into Washington Gardens, she mentioned that she’d always wanted to learn how to play solitaire. Jane, a member of our Welcoming Committee, heard about it and quickly stepped in to help. Before long, the two were sitting together as Jane patiently showed Stephanie how the game works—one card at a time.

Moments like this are a wonderful reminder of how residents help make Washington Gardens feel like home. A simple conversation turned into a shared activity, a little learning, and the start of a new connection.

It’s also a great example of the spirit behind our SPARK program—paying attention to what residents are interested in and turning those interests into meaningful experiences. In this case, it started with a deck of cards and a neighbor willing to share her time.

Stronger Brains. Safer Steps. 🧠👣
Most falls don’t happen during exercise — they happen in real-life moments like turning to greet someone or talking while walking. That’s why fall prevention is evolving.
It’s not just about stronger legs — it’s about strengthening the connection between the brain and body. Cognitive-Motor Integration (CMI) helps residents safely manage movement and thinking at the same time, leading to better balance responses, increased confidence, and reduced fear of falling.
We’re proud that our valued partner, Select Rehabilitation, is hosting a complimentary webinar:
Falls Prevention 2.0: Advanced Strategies Using Movement, Cognition and Technology
📅 Wednesday, March 18, 2026
🕑 2:00 p.m. Eastern
Register here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1630613579194193750
We’re honored to collaborate with partners who are helping move senior care forward — because safer movement supports greater independence. 💚

Sweet as a Rainbow 🌈🍡 Residents at Washington Gardens had a colorful time creating rainbow marshmallow skewers from scratch. They mixed food coloring into bowls of sugar, dipped fluffy marshmallows into each vibrant shade, and carefully stacked them together on skewers to build their own edible rainbows.

RD was especially diligent, focused on mixing the red food coloring into sugar until it reached just the right hue. Across the table, Nancy proudly held up her finished rainbow skewer, smiling at the bright, cheerful treat she helped create.

Hands-on activities like this invite creativity, concentration, and a little bit of sweetness, too. Through our SPARK program, we design experiences that reflect residents’ interests and support engagement, turning simple recipes into shared moments and colorful memories.
