No matter where you’ve lived before, we’d be honored to have you call Grande Ronde home. Named for a phrase often uttered by a French settler describing the area’s beauty, La Grande is a warm and cozy community located just east of the Blue Mountains. It is home to Eastern Oregon University and has many local attractions to visit such as Candy Cane Park, the Cook Memorial Library, La Grande Main Street Downtown, Morgan Lake, and miles and miles of hiking, horseback riding, and enjoying nature along snow-capped mountains. Whether you or your loved one would benefit from getting rid of chores and finding a sense of community, or it’s time for a helping hand with the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), the trusted and caring team at Grande Ronde is here to offer guidance. We provide exceptional resident-centered holistic care to our residents and make them feel right at home with regular check-ins and exciting activities.

Our gorgeous front patio has wooden lounge chairs, hanging flower baskets, and wonderful landscaping to share stories with friends and say “hello” to new residents. Our outdoor common areas and gathering rooms indoors are at the heart of our community, as they encourage friendship and togetherness. We have several different rooms including an exercise room, a game room for poker and checkers, a friendship room to enjoy good company, several large lobbies, and an ornate library where you can sit with your favorite book.

Our resort-style hospitality services include housekeeping, scheduled transportation, and exciting programs on-site and off. With necessities managed, residents can take part in day trips to Wallowa Lake on the tram or even enjoy a “haunted” tour of spooky places around the valley, sharing a few ghost stories and laughs with friends. One of the most exciting features of our community is the dining experience. Residents have the opportunity to enjoy nourishing meals in any of our four distinct dining rooms, featuring restaurant-style service and presentation.
