Touchmark

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, mentors, and father figures who have shaped our lives through their wisdom, strength, humor, and love.

At Touchmark, we're grateful for the stories they share, the lessons they've taught, and the meaningful relationships that enrich our communities every day.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at Touchmark!

Touchmark at Fairway Village was featured on KATU News to preview our 18th Annual Car Show & Music Festival, happening tomorrow, Saturday, June 20 from 2 - 5 pm.

Join us for an afternoon of classic cars, live music on two stages, barbecue, a beer garden, and prize drawings—all while supporting two meaningful causes: the Alzheimer’s Association and Parkinson’s Resources of Oregon.

This beloved annual tradition has raised more than $67,000 for local nonprofits serving older adults, and we’re excited to keep making a difference together.

Admission is complimentary, and donations are welcome.

We hope to see you there!

Touchmark at Fairway Village: Car Show, Musical Festival & BBQ Touchmark at Fairway Village revs up Father’s Day weekend with its 18th-annual Car Show, Music Festival and BBQ in Vancouver. Saturday, June 20, 2 to 5 pm. Family-friendly fun and classic cars.

The Touchmark at Meadow Lake Village sales team has been passionate about the privilege of appreciating other departments, and they like to make each department's celebration unique. Recently, they put together gift baskets for the housekeeping team and attended their morning stand-up to thank them personally. The gifts and quality time seemed second to the sign that the sales team created. Jaelahna Allen worked with her team to create a hand-drawn sign with all their names and included "love you" in the various languages they speak: English, Spanish, French, Tagalog, and Chuukese. There was such joy in the room when team members found their language included on the board. Jaelahna not only attends to details and anticipates needs, but she also contributes to creating a safe space for inclusivity. Thank you to all Touchmark housekeeping team members for being easy to spoil, and to Jaelahna for seeing what would mean most to them.

Caregiving is about more than meeting needs—it’s about honoring each person’s life, preferences, and independence.

At Touchmark, our caregivers approach their work with integrity and hospitality, creating an environment where residents feel respected, comfortable, and truly cared for.

As we close out Caregivers Week, we’re reminded that the impact of this work goes far beyond any single moment—it’s felt in relationships, in trust, and in the lives our caregivers help shape every day.

If you’re called to this kind of work, we’d love to connect with you.

Behind every great caregiver is a team that makes it possible. At Touchmark, caregivers are part of a collaborative environment where ideas are welcomed and support is always within reach. We believe the people closest to residents bring invaluable insight—and we listen.

That shared commitment to teamwork helps us create experiences that go beyond expectations and ensures every resident is supported in living a fulfilling life.

To our caregiving teams: thank you for showing up for each other and for those you serve.

The most meaningful part of caregiving isn’t found in a checklist—it’s found in connection.

At Touchmark, caregivers have the opportunity to build real relationships with residents over time. That might look like sharing stories over coffee, learning someone’s daily routine, or simply noticing the small things that matter most.

Those connections are what turn care into something personal—and what make this work so rewarding.

If you’re someone who values relationships and wants to be part of something meaningful, caregiving at Touchmark offers more than a job—it offers purpose.

Growth means something different in senior living.

Touchmark was recently recognized by the Portland Business Journal as the #19 Fastest-Growing Private Company in Oregon. Marking our third consecutive year on the Top 100 list, this recognition reflects the trust residents, families, and team members place in us every day.

In an industry that can’t grow fast enough, Touchmark continues to invest in people, communities, and innovative ways to help older adults live their best lives. As a company that is 100% owned by our board members, who are also team members, our growth is rooted in a long-term commitment to excellence—not outside investors or short-term goals.

Thank you to the residents, families, team members, and partners who make this achievement possible. Together, we're showing that a people-first approach to senior living continues to make a meaningful difference.

Caregivers Week is a time to recognize the people who make everyday life feel extraordinary.

At Touchmark, our caregivers are often the first smile in the morning and the last “good night” at the end of the day. They bring warmth, attentiveness, and a deep sense of purpose to each interaction—helping residents feel known, supported, and truly at home.

It’s work that requires heart, patience, and presence—and we’re grateful for the difference our caregivers make, every single day.

Throughout this week, we’ll be sharing more about the people behind the care and the impact they have across our communities.
