Clatsop Care Center

Clatsop Care Center, located at 646 16th Street in the heart of historic Astoria, Oregon, provides dedicated skilled nursing care to residents in one of the Pacific Northwest's most storied communities. Operated under the stewardship of local city and county government, Clatsop Care Center reflects a deep civic commitment to serving the health and dignity of Clatsop County's aging population with accountability and compassion that only community-owned care can offer. Astoria sits at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean—a setting that offers residents and visiting families a sense of place that is truly remarkable. The facility's location near downtown Astoria means families can combine visits with a stroll along the Astoria Riverwalk, a scenic two-mile promenade that winds along the waterfront and offers sweeping views of the river and the historic Astoria-Megler Bridge. The iconic Astoria Column, perched atop Coxcomb Hill, is just minutes away and serves as a beloved local landmark that families can enjoy before or after visits. Culturally rich and walkable, Astoria's downtown offers an array of dining and gathering spots beloved by locals, including the renowned Fort George Brewery, Astoria Coffeehouse & Bistro, and the charming shops and galleries along Commercial Street. For medical needs, Columbia Memorial Hospital—Astoria's full-service acute care hospital—is conveniently located nearby, providing peace of mind for residents and families who value close proximity to comprehensive medical services. Nature lovers will appreciate easy access to Fort Stevens State Park in neighboring Warrenton, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park at Fort Clatsop, and the many forested trails and coastal beaches that define life on Oregon's North Coast. The Columbia River Maritime Museum, one of the finest maritime museums in the nation, is just a short drive away and offers a meaningful cultural outing for families visiting residents. At Clatsop Care Center, skilled nurses and care staff provide round-the-clock nursing services, rehabilitation support, and personalized care planning designed to help each resident achieve their highest level of well-being. As a government-operated facility, it operates with transparency and a mission rooted in community service rather than profit—a distinction that families consistently value when choosing long-term care for a loved one.
