Peace of mind with all the comforts of home.
The Watermark at the Pearl in Portland’s dynamic Pearl District features an uplifting and secure Memory Care neighborhood. We recognize that memory changes affect everyone differently. That’s why we’ve created a welcoming and comfortable space that feels like home. Memory Care residents are always treated with the utmost care and respect, giving family members much-needed peace of mind knowing their loved one is well cared for.
Choose from private and semiprivate suites in a secure residential-styled neighborhood. Residents also have access to welcoming common areas, including living rooms, an open kitchen with family-style seating, a small beauty salon, and a large, landscaped courtyard.
Our groundbreaking Prema Memory Support℠ program incorporates cutting-edge programming and expert assistance from universal caregivers known as Nayas. Our specially trained Nayas use validation rather than correction to show support and understanding. They create deep connections with every resident, providing nurturing care and one-on-one support.
Whether you or someone you love is experiencing mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, or another form of dementia, we’re here for you and your family every step of the way.
Check out our Memory Care Resources page for more information on dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and caring for those affected.

With love from Mary, George’s wife and forever best friend.
“I had never been to a bar in my life.” That's where Mary met George 53 years ago, which led to dinner at 2:00 a.m. at a Chinese restaurant — completely forgetting she was supposed to be somewhere 10 hours prior. She met her best friend and the love of her life.
